TI  - A patient with significant slow-flow phenomenon during percutaneous coronary 
      intervention for ST elevation myocardial infarction associated with scattered 
      necrotic core by virtual histology intravascular ultrasound.

AB  - A 68-year-old man with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) underwent 
      emergent coronary angiography which showed total occlusion in the proximal right 
      coronary artery (RCA). Gray-scale intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) revealed the 
      culprit lesion was expansively remodeled and contained ruptured and echolucent 
      plaques with spotty calcification, whereas thin-capped fibroatheroma and a large 
      amount of scattered necrotic core were observed by virtual histology (VH)-IVUS. 
      After stent implantation in the proximal RCA under a filter protection, 
      filter-no-reflow phenomenon occurred and thrombus-like defect was observed in the 
      mid RCA. Under these conditions, VH-IVUS detected a large amount of scattered 
      necrotic core in the mid RCA. We suggest scattered necrotic core detected by 
      VH-IVUS may be associated with slow-flow phenomenon during percutaneous coronary 
      intervention in our patient with STEMI.
