Overview

Coronary artery ulceration is assessed visually using a well defined grading system. Grade 0 corresponds to no angiographic evidence of ulceration, grade 1 ulceration is present when the lesion contains a neck with contrast material dissecting under the plaque either proximally or distally, and grade 2 ulceration is present when there is distinct extravascular extravasation of contrast material with the appearance of a mushroom.

Ulceration

  • Grade 0: No angiographic evidence of ulceration
  • Grade 1: The lesion contains a neck with contrast material dissecting under the plaque either proximally or distally
  • Grade 2: Distinct extravascular extravasation of contrast material with the appearance of a mushroom

Angiography Examples

Grade 1

Shown below are an animated image and a static image depicting grade 1 ulcerated coronary lesion. Note the presence of a "neck" within the lesion.
