      Have I lost my large rupture cavity? The fingerprint of atherosclerotic plaque healing detected by serial optical coherence tomography imaging

      A 64-year-old man, prior smoker, with a history of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation was referred to our hospital due to worsening dyspnoea, progressively worsening angina, and a positive stress EKG testing. Coronary angiography (CAG) showed an angiographically intermediate stenosis of the mid left anterior descending (LAD) artery and a focal, complex lesion of the distal right coronary artery (RCA) (Figure 1A and B, red arrow). Treatment of the LAD stenosis was deferred based on a negative fractional flow reserve value (i.e. 0.85). Optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging (ILUMIEN OPTIS, Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA) was performed to better characterize ...

      Coronary plaque healing and diabetes: insights from optical coherence tomography imaging

      Aims Atherosclerotic plaque healing is a dynamic process developing after plaque rupture or erosion, which aims to prevent lasting occlusive thrombus formation and to promote plaque repair. We hypothesized that diabetes mellitus, one of the major conventional cardiovascular risk factors, may influence the healing capacity after plaque destabilization. Methods and results In this single-centre observational cohort study, patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) who underwent optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging at Fondazione Policlinico A. Gemelli–IRCCS, Rome, were included. Patients were divided into two groups (i.e. diabetes vs. no diabetes), and stratified based on ...
