Saki Iwai,Makoto Watanabe,Akihiko Okamura,Atsushi Kyodo,Kazutaka Nogi,Daisuke Kamon,Yukihiro Hashimoto,Tomoya Ueda,Tsunenari Soeda,Hiroyuki Okura,Yoshihiko Saito +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the prognostic impact of calcified plaque morphology in patients with coronary artery calcification who underwent newer-generation drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visualization of the improvement of myocardial perfusion after coronary intervention using motorized fractional flow reserve pullback curve.
Akiko Matsuo,Satoshi Shimoo,Kazuaki Takamatsu,Yumika Tsuji,Atsushi Kyodo,Kayoko Mera,Masahiro Koide,Koji Isodono,Yoshinori Tsubakimoto,Tomohiko Sakatani,Keiji Inoue,Hiroshi Fujita +11 more
TL;DR: Motorized pullback tracing was able to identify the extent and location of stenosis and help in appropriate stent implantation, in addition to visualizing and quantifying the improvement in FFR following PCI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cholesterol crystal depth in coronary atherosclerotic plaques: A novel index of plaque vulnerability using optical frequency domain imaging.
Masahiro Koide,Akiko Matsuo,Satoshi Shimoo,Kazuaki Takamatsu,Atsushi Kyodo,Yumika Tsuji,Kayoko Mera,Yoshinori Tsubakimoto,Koji Isodono,Tomohiko Sakatani,Keiji Inoue,Hiroshi Fujita +11 more
TL;DR: OfDI analysis revealed that CCs were found in the more superficial layers within the coronary atherosclerotic plaques in patients with ACS than in those with stable AP, suggesting that CC depth is associated with plaque vulnerability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Usefulness of the novel risk estimation software, Heart Risk View, for the prediction of cardiac events in patients with normal myocardial perfusion SPECT.
Tomohiko Sakatani,Satoshi Shimoo,Kazuaki Takamatsu,Atsushi Kyodo,Yumika Tsuji,Kayoko Mera,Masahiro Koide,Koji Isodono,Yoshinori Tsubakimoto,Akiko Matsuo,Keiji Inoue,Hiroshi Fujita +11 more
TL;DR: Although myocardial perfusion SPECT is useful for the prediction of cardiac events, risk estimation by Heart Risk View adds more prognostic information, especially in patients with normal MPS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of myocardial bridge by optical coherence tomography
Akihiko Okamura,Hiroyuki Okura,Saki Iwai,Atsushi Kyodo,Daisuke Kamon,Yukihiro Hashimoto,Tomoya Ueda,Tsunenari Soeda,Makoto Watanabe,Yoshihiko Saito +9 more
TL;DR: MB is frequently detected as intermediate intensity, fine layer by OCT during systole, vessel and lumen size decrease with increased medial thickness, and should be careful for OCT interpretation of the coronary arteries with MB.
