Urgent catheter examination shows total occlusion in the right coronary
artery (RCA) #3 and 90% stenosis in the left anterior descending (LAD)
artery #7.
Fig. 3.
The distal occlusion in the RCA the fourth posterolateral branch artery
(#4PL) and posterior descending artery (#4PD) was newly found after
thrombectomy.
Intravascular ultrasound likely shows thick plaques [white arrows]
and thin fibrous capsules on lipid pool plaques [red arrows].

The follow-up coronary angiography is normal, including RCA #4PD/PL
findings.
Optical coherence tomography shows white thrombus [white arrow] and
a large vasa vasorum in the plaque layer near the thrombus [red
arrows].
Fig. 5.
The thrombus contains atheroma rich in cholesterin crystal [black
arrow] and foam cells [white arrow].
