In the era of widely available lipid-lowering therapies, plaque erosion instead of plaque rupture may account for an increasing proportion of ACS.
Stenting may not be needed for management of erosion-induced ACS. ja.ma/3cbQPZC

Here is the data supporting medical management as opposed to stenting in the patient with plaque erosion ja.ma/3lLnjNI 
Among patients in whom there is plaque erosion and no plaque rupture, do you use medical therapy instead of implanting a stent? If not, why are you putting a stent in?
Should we use OCT more ACS patients to detect plaque erosion & manage patients medically, or should we not use advanced coronary imaging and stent both plaque erosion and plaque rupture? Tell us why you voted the way you did.
