Abstract

A honeycomb-like structure in the coronary artery is rarely diagnosed by intracoronary ultrasound or optical coherence tomography. Further, its structural mechanisms and response to interventional therapy remain unknown. A 59-year-old Japanese man was referred to our hospital because of acute decompensated heart failure with rapid atrial fibrillation. After receiving anticoagulant therapy, a coronary angiogram revealed a braid-like appearance and an intracoronary ultrasound image confirmed a honeycomb-like structure in the mid left anterior descending coronary artery. We inserted two guide wires into different partitions. Although a balloon angioplasty with a scoring device could not completely fenestrate these partitions, a stent implant was able to completely compress the structure easily. The honeycomb-like structure of the left anterior descending coronary artery in our patient was suspected to be because of recanalization of a cardiogenic embolism. This structure may have been composed of relatively hard tissues, but was easily compressed by a stent implantation.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 April 2016.
All research outputs
#20,317,110
of 22,860,626 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Medical Case Reports
#3,488
of 3,924 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#254,425
of 300,229 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Medical Case Reports
#44
of 48 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,860,626 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,924 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.9. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 300,229 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 48 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
