TL;DR: This companion manuscript is to provide a practical guide framework for the appropriate use and reporting of the novel frequency domain (FD) OCT imaging to guide interventional procedures, with a particular interest on the comparison with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS).
Journal ArticleDOI
Statin treatment is associated with reduced thermal heterogeneity in human atherosclerotic plaques
Christodoulos Stefanadis,Kostas Toutouzas,Manolis Vavuranakis,Eleutherios Tsiamis,Dimitrios Tousoulis,D B Panagiotakos,Sophia Vaina,C. Pitsavos,P.K. Toutouzas +8 more
TL;DR: Patients on statin treatment produce less heat from the culprit coronary lesion than those not treated, and whether this effect has an impact on plaque stabilization needs to be investigated in future studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impaired compensatory coronary artery enlargement in atherosclerosis contributes to the development of coronary artery stenosis in diabetic patients. An in vivo intravascular ultrasound study
TL;DR: Diabetics with atherosclerosis have less compensatory coronary artery enlargement than non-diabetics, which may explain the diffuse and accelerated course of coronary artery disease in these patients.
Stent deployment in calcified lesions Can we overcome calcific restraint with high pressure balloon inflations
Manolis Vavuranakis,Christodoulos Stefanadis,N. Giatrakos,Kostas Toutouzas,Elena Triantayllidou,Constantina Aggeli,Publos Toutouzas +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Liss et al. showed that stent lumen area with high pressure balloon inflations in moderate-severe calcified CA lesions are at the expense of symmetry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxidative stress and endothelial function: therapeutic interventions.
Dimitris Tousoulis,Alexandros Briasoulis,Nikolaos Papageorgiou,Costas Tsioufis,Eleftherios Tsiamis,Kostas Toutouzas,Christodoulos Stefanadis +6 more
TL;DR: Antihypertensive and hypolipidemic medications exhibit well-documented antioxidant effects and improve endothelial function and the discussion of recent patents with the novel antioxidant strategies are required to clarify the role of antioxidant intervention in vascular diseases.
