Relation of Microchannel Structure Identified by Optical Coherence Tomography to Plaque Vulnerability in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease
Explore Article American Journal of Cardiology (Jun 9 2010)
Increased neovascularization in atherosclerotic plaques is associated with plaque vulnerability. The high resolution of optical coherence tomography (OCT) might provide a chance to directly visualize plaque neovascularization in vivo. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relation between microchannels in culprit plaques identified by OCT and plaque vulnerability in patients with coronary artery disease. A total of 63 consecutive patients with coronary artery disease who had undergone ...

Optical Coherence Tomography in Assessing Plaque Characteristics
Explore Article SpringerLink Home (Jun 9 2010)
Abstract Optical coherence tomography (OCT), a new imaging modality, has shown a superior ability in detecting and distinguishing different types of plaques (fibrous, fibrocalcific, and lipid-rich plaques), in visualizing of vascular microstructures such as intraluminal thrombi, vascular dissection, and structure of restenotic tissues, and finally in identifying vulnerable plaques, otherwise missed by intravascular ultrasound. However, limitations in the use of OCT such as poor penetration and its attenuation by blood ... (Read Full Article)
