Popis: Pathological reports have shown that plaque erosion (PE), a common cause of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), can form in both fibrous plaque and lipid-rich plaque (LRP). In plaque rupture (PR), which is the main cause of ACS, the underlying plaque is LRP with a thin fibrous cap. In this study, we aimed to investigate the clinical features and lipid profiles of PE with or without LRP in comparison with those of PR.A total of 166 patients with ACS, who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and met the criteria for PR or PE, were included. LRP was defined as plaque with a maximal lipid arc (180°). Culprit lesions were categorized into PR and PE with/without LRP [PEThe prevalence of PR, PEThe clinical features and lipid profiles are substantially different between PE
