      Clinical Predictors for Lack of Favorable Vascular Response to Statin Therapy in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease: A Serial Optical Coherence Tomography Study
      Background Previous studies have demonstrated that statin therapy improves cardiac outcomes, probably by stabilizing thin‐cap fibroatheroma in patients with coronary artery disease. However, major adverse cardiac events still occur in some patients, despite statin therapy. The aim of this study is to identify clinical predictors for the lack of a favorable vascular response to statin therapy in patients with coronary artery disease.

      Low Endothelial Shear Stress Predicts Evolution to High-Risk Coronary Plaque Phenotype in the Future A Serial Optical Coherence Tomography and Computational Fluid Dynamics Stud
      Background Low endothelial shear stress (ESS) is associated with plaque progression and vulnerability. To date, changes in plaque phenotype over time in relation to ESS have not been studied in humans. The aim of this study was to investigate whether local ESS can predict subsequent changes to plaque phenotype using optical coherence tomography. Methods and Results A total of 25 coronary arteries from 20 patients who underwent baseline and 6-month ...

      Differences in coronary plaque characteristics between patients with and those without peripheral arterial disease
      Introduction: Cardiovascular mortality of patients with combined peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and coronary artery disease (CAD) is twice as high as that in those with either disease alone. It is known that patients with PAD undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention have a higher incidence of adverse cardiac events such as myocardial infarction or target vessel revascularization. Objective: In this study, we compared the detailed characteristics of culprit and nonculprit plaques between ...

      Dynamic neointimal pattern after drug-eluting stent implantation defined by optical coherence tomography
      Objectives: Certain neointimal patterns including neoatherosclerosis (NA) are known to be associated with poor clinical outcome. The prevalence and time course of different neointimal patterns have not been studied systematically. The aim of this study was to investigate the serial changes in neointimal pattern after drug-eluting stent implantation. Patients and methods: A total of 132 patients with 207 drug-eluting stents, who underwent two follow-up optical coherence tomography studies at 6 ...

      SYNTAX Score, and Pre- and Post-Stent Optical Coherence Tomography Findings in the Left Anterior Descending Coronary Artery in Patients with Stable Angina Pectoris
      SYNTAX score (SS) has been reported to be an independent predictor of future cardiac events including target lesion revascularization (TLR). The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between SS and plaque characteristics and post-stent vascular response using optical coherence tomography (OCT) in coronary artery tree and left anterior descending artery (LAD) in patients with stable angina. A total of 179 lesions among 165 patients, including 100 lesions ...

      Clinical Significance of Lipid-Rich Plaque Detected by Optical Coherence Tomography : A 4-Year Follow-Up Study
      Background Lipid-rich plaque (LRP) is thought to be a precursor to cardiac events. However, its clinical significance in coronary arteries has never been systematically investigated. Objectives This study investigated the prevalence and clinical significance of LRP in the nonculprit region of the target vessel in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods The study included 1,474 patients from 20 sites across 6 countries undergoing PCI, who had optical coherence ...
