The formation of vulnerable plaques is part of a pan-coronary process. The number of yellow plaques and thrombis in the left anterior descending coronary artery, left circumflex artery, and the right coronary artery were evaluated angiographically in 32 patients undergoing catherization 1 month after myocardial infarction (MI). The mean number of yellow plaques detected in a coronary artery, excluding the culprit lesion, was 3.2 ± 1.7. Yellow plaques were equally prevalent in the infarct-related and non–infarct-related coronary arteries (3.7 ± 1.6 vs 3.4 ± 1.8 plaques per artery, P=NS). An
