OCT Findings in MINOCA.
Krzysztof Bryniarski,Pawel Gasior,Jacek Legutko,Dawid Makowicz,Anna Kędziora,Piotr Szolc,Leszek Bryniarski,Paweł Kleczyński,Ik-Kyung Jang +8 more
TL;DR: The role of OCT in patients presenting with non-obstructive coronary artery disease (MINOCA) is discussed in this article, where OCT has been shown to reveal abnormal findings in almost half of the cases and combining OCT with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) was shown to allow identification of most of the underlying mechanisms of MINOCA.
Acute Myocardial Ischemia/Infarction Focal and Multi-Focal Plaque Macrophage Distributions in Patients With Acute and Stable Presentations of Coronary Artery Disease
Briain D. MacNeill,Ik-Kyung Jang,Brett E. Bouma,Nicusor Iftimia,Masamichi Takano,Hiroshi Yabushita,Milen Shishkov,Christopher R. Kauffman,S. L. Houser,H. Thomas Aretz,Denise DeJoseph,Elkan F. Halpern,Guillermo J. Tearney +12 more
TL;DR: By providing a means of detecting increases in plaque macrophage content before an acute event, this technique may aid in determining prognosis and guiding preventive therapy and demonstrate that increases in both multi-focal and focal macrophages densities are highly correlated with symptom severity.

Abstract 17934: Bevacizumab for Plaque Stabilization: Evaluation of its Effect on Vasa Vasorum, Lipid Pool, and Atheroma Volume by Multimodality Imaging Techniques in an Atherosclerotic Rabbit Model
Sining Hu,Jinwei Tian,Nana Dong,Yanli Sun,Xue Han,Wen Cheng,Yongxing Jiang,Liang Chang,Xiang Ban,Qi Huang,Haibo Jia,Lei Xing,Lingbo Meng,Jingbo Hou,Shaosong Zhang,Bo Yu,Ik-Kyung Jang +16 more
TL;DR: The objective of this study was to establish an experimental procedure and show direct AF smear results that unequivocally show the presence of adenocytes in the vasa vasorum channel.

Optical Coherence Tomographic Observations of Polytetrafluoroethylene-Covered Sirolimus-Eluting Coronary Arterial Stent
Jingbo Hou,Haibo Jia,Xingtao Huang,Huai Yu,Xuefeng Ren,Yan Fang,Zhigang Han,Shuang Yang,Lingbo Meng,Shaosong Zhang,Bo Yu,Ik-Kyung Jang +11 more
TL;DR: High-resolution optical coherence tomography provided convincing proof of full neointimal coverage of PCS, suggesting that this new method of combined PCS and SES implantation may be a better choice compared with direct PCS implantation in certain clinical settings.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor inhibitor on the microcirculation in patients undergoing high-risk coronary stenting; a prospective, randomized study.
Philip Wong,Scott A. Harding,Ignacio Inglessis,C. Joon Choi,Darren L. Walters,Yuchiao Chang,Giogio Gimelli,Ik-Kyung Jang +7 more
TL;DR: In patients undergoing high-risk coronary stenting, tirofiban protects and improves the microcirculation measured by Doppler wire technique, which may be due to prevention of distal embolization of clot by tiroFiban.
