Highly Inflamed Non-Calcified Coronary Plaques Sealed with Stents in Patients with Zero Calcium Score – a Case Series and Review of the Literature

Highly Inflamed Non-Calcified Coronary Plaques Sealed with Stents in Patients with Zero Calcium Score – a Case Series and Review of the Literature

The modern management of coronary artery disease (CAD) uses coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) to enhance plaque evaluation and cardiovascular risk assessment. CCTA identifies high-risk plaques, and the latest CT technologies based on calculation of fat attenuation index (FAI) allow ass...
