Search for: [Abstract = "d in the segment 10 mm proximal \(REF PROX\) and distal \(DIST REF\) to the stent. “Geographic miss” was defined as the presence of uncovered by a stent an atherosclerotic plaque with large necrotic core covered with a thin fibrous cap \(TCFA, thin cap fibroatheroma\). \"Geographicmiss\" was found in 50% of patients with STEMI and 35% of NSTEMI. The main reason of the \"geographic miss\" was the very often incidence of necroticcore tissue and the accumulation of plaque rupture proximal to the sites with the smallest lumen, which was seen on angiography. Implementation of intravascular ultrasound virtual histology, illustrated the phenomenon of \"geographic miss\" in patients with myocardial infarction, is safe and provides the operator to keep the additional information to further optimize coronary angioplasty. High incidence of this phenomenon in patients with myocardial infarction justifies the need of randomized trials which would answer the question of whether the optimization result of coronary angioplasty in patients with acute myocardial infarction based on intravascular ultrasound and virtual histology data may lead into better long\-term results."]
