TL;DR: The term "vulnerable patient" may be more appropriate and is proposed now for the identification of subjects with high likelihood of developing cardiac events in the near future and a quantitative method for cumulative risk assessment of vulnerable patients needs to be developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of Human Atherosclerosis by Optical Coherence Tomography
Hiroshi Yabushita,Brett E. Bouma,Stuart L. Houser,H. Thomas Aretz,Ik-Kyung Jang,Kelly Schlendorf,Christopher R. Kauffman,Milen Shishkov,Dong-Heon Kang,Elkan F. Halpern,Guillermo J. Tearney +10 more
TL;DR: Objective OCT criteria are highly sensitive and specific for characterizing different types of atherosclerotic plaques in vitro and will provide a basis for the interpretation of intracoronary OCT images obtained from patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visualization of coronary atherosclerotic plaques in patients using optical coherence tomography: comparison with intravascular ultrasound.
Ik-Kyung Jang,Brett E. Bouma,Dong-Heon Kang,Dong-Heon Kang,Seung-Jung Park,Seong-Wook Park,Ki-Bae Seung,Kyu-Bo Choi,Milen Shishkov,Kelly Schlendorf,Eugene Pomerantsev,Stuart L. Houser,H. Thomas Aretz,Guillermo J. Tearney +13 more
TL;DR: Comparison between OCT and histology demonstrated that lipid-rich plaques and fibrous plaques have distinct OCT characteristics, and intracoronary OCT appears to be feasible and safe.
Journal ArticleDOI
In Vivo Characterization of Coronary Atherosclerotic Plaque by Use of Optical Coherence Tomography
Ik-Kyung Jang,Guillermo J. Tearney,Briain D. MacNeill,Masamichi Takano,Fabian Moselewski,Nicusor Iftima,Milen Shishkov,Stuart L. Houser,H. Thomas Aretz,Elkan F. Halpern,Brett E. Bouma +10 more
TL;DR: OCT is a safe and effective modality for characterizing coronary atherosclerotic plaques in vivo and thin-cap fibroatheroma was more frequently observed in patients with AMI or ACS than SAP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of Calcified and Noncalcified Coronary Atherosclerotic Plaque by Contrast-Enhanced, Submillimeter Multidetector Spiral Computed Tomography A Segment-Based Comparison With Intravascular Ultrasound

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the ability of multidetector spiral computed tomography (MDCT) to detect atherosclerotic plaque in nonstenotic coronary arteries.
