Haibo Jia,Farhad Abtahian,Aaron D. Aguirre,Stephen M. S. Lee,Stanley Chia,Harry C. Lowe,Koji Kato,Taishi Yonetsu,Rocco Vergallo,Sining Hu,Sining Hu,Jinwei Tian,Jinwei Tian,Hang Lee,Seung-Jung Park,Yangsoo Jang,Owen Christopher Raffel,Kyoichi Mizuno,Shiro Uemura,Tomonori Itoh,Tsunekazu Kakuta,So-Yeon Choi,Harold L. Dauerman,Abhiram Prasad,Catalin Toma,Iris McNulty,Shaosong Zhang,Bo Yu,V Fuster,Jagat Narula,Renu Virmani,Ik-Kyung Jang +31 more
TL;DR: Optical coherence tomography is a promising modality for identifying OCT-erosion and OCT-CN in vivo in patients with acute coronary syndrome and is more common in older patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new optical coherence tomography-based calcium scoring system to predict stent underexpansion.
Akiko Fujino,Gary S. Mintz,Mitsuaki Matsumura,Tetsumin Lee,Song-Yi Kim,Masahiro Hoshino,Eisuke Usui,Taishi Yonetsu,Elizabeth Haag,Richard Shlofmitz,Tsunekazu Kakuta,Akiko Maehara +11 more
TL;DR: An OCT-based calcium scoring system can help to identify lesions that would benefit from plaque modification prior to stent implantation and was an independent predictor of stent underexpansion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of acute injuries and chronic intimal thickening of the radial artery after transradial coronary intervention by optical coherence tomography.
Taishi Yonetsu,Tsunekazu Kakuta,Tetsumin Lee,Kei Takayama,Ken Kakita,Taro Iwamoto,Naohiko Kawaguchi,Kentaro Takahashi,Ginga Yamamoto,Yoshito Iesaka,Hideomi Fujiwara,Mitsuaki Isobe +11 more
TL;DR: Optical coherence tomography clearly demonstrated significant acute injuries and chronic intimal thickening of RA after TRI and the impact of these effects when TRI RAs are subsequently used as conduits, on long-term graft patency and on clinical outcomes after bypass surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibition of IκB phosphorylation in cardiomyocytes attenuates myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury
Yasuyuki Onai,Jun-ichi Suzuki,Tsunekazu Kakuta,Yasuhiro Maejima,Go Haraguchi,Hiroshi Fukasawa,Susumu Muto,Akiko Itai,Mitsuaki Isobe +8 more
TL;DR: Inhibition of nuclear translocation of NF-κB by IκBα phosphorylation blockade could provide an effective approach to attenuation of ischemia/reperfusion injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vivo critical fibrous cap thickness for rupture-prone coronary plaques assessed by optical coherence tomography
Taishi Yonetsu,Tsunekazu Kakuta,Tetsumin Lee,Kentaro Takahashi,Naohiko Kawaguchi,Ginga Yamamoto,Kenji Koura,Keiichi Hishikari,Yoshito Iesaka,Hideomi Fujiwara,Mitsuaki Isobe +10 more
TL;DR: In vivo critical cap thicknesses were <80μm for the thinnest and <188 μm for most representative fibrous cap thickness, respectively, which may not be appropriate for in vivo rupture-prone plaques.
