   NCBI HomePage (Jun 24 2008) Cardiology Explore Article

   BACKGROUND: The thickness of coronary fibrous caps is a major determinant of vulnerable plaques. Several clinical trials have suggested that statin therapy could stabilize vulnerable plaques. Recently, optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been proposed as an effective histology-resolution imaging modality for assessing such micro-structural changes. METHODS: Forty AMI patients with hyperlipidemia were enrolled and underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). They were divided into two groups; statin treatment group (n=23) or ...

3. Identification of multiple plaque ruptures by optical coherence tomography in a patient with acute myocardial infarction: a three-vessel study

   Heart (Apr 13 2008) Cardiology Explore Article

   Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a new imaging modality capable of obtaining cross-sectional images of coronary vessels with a high resolution of about 10 µm, which is about 10-fold greater than that of intravascular ultrasound. A 57-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with acute posterior myocardial infarction. An emergency coronary angiography demonstrated 99% stenosis (TIMI 2 flow) in segment 11 of the left circumflex artery, and 75% stenosis in ... (Read Full Article)
