Background-It has been thought that the thrombi and bleeding in plaques that occur after plaque rupture or endothelial damage from vessels with mild stenosis suddenly occlude the lumen and cause acute myocardial infarction (AMI), However, our hypothesis is that thrombi and bleeding may not suddenly occlude the lumen.Methods and Results-The study group consisted of 20 patients who had coronary angiograms performed within 1 week (3+/-3 days) before AMI and 20 control patients who had coronary angiograms performed 6 to 18 months (282+/-49 days) before AMI, The features of infarct-related coronary segments (IRCS) at 3 days before AMI were the presence of a significant stenosis of >50% (95% in incidence and 71+/-12% diameter stenosis) and Ambrose's type II eccentric lesions (plus multiple irregularities), an indicator of plaque rupture and/or thrombi (60% [70%]), and the features at 1 year before AMI were mild stenosis of
