Coronary atherosclerotic disease is the underlying cause of unstable angina in nearly all patients with acute myocardial ischemia. The most common cause of unstable angina is due to coronary artery narrowing due to a thrombus that develops on a disrupted atherosclerotic plaque and is nonocclusive. 2, record 2, English, - unstable%20angina

Il existe différents types d'angine de poitrine [...] dans l'angine de poitrine dite stable, les douleurs restent identiques au fil du temps. Leur intensité est à peu près la même et les facteurs déclenchant sont connus (monter un escalier par exemple). Ce type d'angor, qui peut être déclenché par un stress ou des températures froides, est généralement provoqué par une insuffisance coronarienne chronique. À l'inverse, en cas d'angine de poitrine instable, les douleurs apparaissent subitement, sans signe annonciateur. Les douleurs qui se déclarent sont d'intensité variable. Ce type d'angor est provoqué par une insuffisance coronarienne aiguë et n'est soulagé ni par le repos ni par les médicaments pris habituellement [...] 2, record 2, French, - angine%20de%20poitrine%20instable

Percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) is a treatment for persons experiencing myocardial ischemia(inadequate blood flow to the heart) or myocardial infarction(heart attack).... Under x-ray guidance, a catheter is threaded through the femoral artery up into the aorta(large artery from the heart) and then gently advanced into the affected coronary artery. There, a balloon is used to open the coronary artery(balloon angioplasty) and restore blood flow. Sometimes a stent(a mesh-like metal tube that holds open the artery) is placed at that time to maintain good blood flow through the damaged area. 2, record 4, English, - percutaneous%20coronary%20intervention

Coronary bypass reoperations... Operative risk is higher owing to the possibility of myocardial ischemia from manipulating partially obstructed atheromatous grafts and the increased risk of bleeding from adhesions. Currently utilizing a "no touch" technique with early onset of femerofemoral cardiopulmonary bypass and improved retrograde cardioplegia myocardial protection, the risk of reoperative surgery has now decreased almost to that of primary operations. 3, record 5, English, - cardioplegia
