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
In Vivo 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography Imaging Provides a Noninvasive Measure of Carotid Plaque Inflammation in Patients
Ahmed Tawakol,Raymond Q. Migrino,Gregory Bashian,Shahinaz Bedri,David Vermylen,Ricardo C. Cury,Denise Yates,Glenn M. LaMuraglia,Karen L. Furie,Stuart L. Houser,Henry Gewirtz,James E. Muller,Thomas J. Brady,Alan J. Fischman +13 more
TL;DR: If subsequent natural history studies link increased FDG-PET activity in carotid arteries with clinical events, this noninvasive measure could be used to identify a subset of patients withcarotid atherosclerosis in need of intensified medical therapy orCarotid artery intervention to prevent stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantification of Macrophage Content in Atherosclerotic Plaques by Optical Coherence Tomography
Guillermo J. Tearney,Hiroshi Yabushita,Stuart L. Houser,H. Thomas Aretz,Ik-Kyung Jang,Kelly Schlendorf,Christopher R. Kauffman,Milen Shishkov,Elkan F. Halpern,Brett E. Bouma +9 more
TL;DR: The high contrast and resolution of OCT enables the quantification of macrophages within fibrous caps and suggests that this technology may be well suited for identifying vulnerable plaques in patients.
