Excerpt
Noncontrast T1-weighted imaging (T1WI) in cardiac magnetic resonance can evaluate vulnerability of plaques; the high-intensity signals are associated with vulnerable plaques [
1]. We treated STEMI with PCI using drug-coated balloon (DCB) as previously reported [
2] and clarified the vascular healing of the culprit lesion with coronary angioscopy (CAS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). …
