1. Assessment of culprit and remote coronary narrowings using optical coherence tomography with long-term outcomes.
   Am J Cardiol. 2008 Aug 15;102(4):391-5
   Authors: Barlis P, Serruys PW, Gonzalo N, van der Giessen WJ, de Jaegere PJ, Regar E
   Much currently known information about vulnerable plaque stems from postmortem studies that identified several characteristics making them prone to rupture, including the presence of a thin fibrous cap and a large lipid core. This study used optical coherence tomography (OCT) to assess culprit and remote coronary narrowings and investigate whether intracoronary OCT in living patients was able ...
