Optical coherence tomography guided treatment avoids stenting in an antiphospholipid syndrome patient: A case report

Figure 3 Electrocardiography, coronary angiography, and optical coherence tomography at 1 wk after the procedure. A: Pathological Q waves were visible on electrocardiography in leads V1–V4 at 1 wk after the procedure; B and C: One week later, coronary angiography showed a normal proximal left anterior descending artery (pLAD) and normal repeated thrombus aspirations; B1: Zoomed-in image of pLAD; D-G: Representative images of the pLAD showing a nearly normal coronary artery with an intact intima and no residual thrombus. F: Focal segment of a stable thick-cap plaque. Minimal lumen area was 5.57 mm², and the percentage of area stenosis was 16.6%.
