TLDR
This comprehensive overview is aimed to summarize different applicable definitions used by different research groups in plaque and stent analysis using OCT and presents readers with a panoramic view to select the best definition of OCT measurement for one's own study purpose.
Abstract
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is the current state-of-the-art intracoronary imaging modality that allows visualization of detailed morphological characteristics of both atherosclerotic plaque and stent. So far, three expert review documents have been released for standardization of OCT image an

A new optical coherence tomography-based calcium scoring system to predict stent underexpansion.

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

Optical coherence tomography imaging during percutaneous coronary intervention impacts physician decision-making: ILUMIEN I study.

TL;DR: Physician decision-making was affected by OCT imaging prior to PCI in 57% and post-PCI in 27% of all cases and the association with post- PCI FFR values and early clinical events is reported.

Consensus standards for acquisition, measurement, and reporting of intravascular optical coherence tomography studies: a report from the International Working Group for Intravascular Optical Coherence Tomography Standardization and Validation.

TL;DR: This document may be broadly used as a standard reference regarding the current state of theIVOCT imaging modality, intended for researchers and clinicians who use IVOCT and analyze IVO CT data.

Coronary plaque erosion without rupture into a lipid core. A frequent cause of coronary thrombosis in sudden coronary death.

TL;DR: Erosion of proteoglycan-rich and smooth muscle cell-rich plaques lacking a superficial lipid core or plaque rupture is a frequent finding in sudden death due to coronary thrombosis, comprising 44% of cases in the present study.

Characterization of Human Atherosclerosis by Optical Coherence Tomography

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

Macrophage infiltration in acute coronary syndromes. Implications for plaque rupture.

TL;DR: Macrophage-rich areas are more frequently found in patients with unstable angina and non-Q-wave myocardial infarction, which suggests that macrophages are a marker of unstable atherosclerotic plaques and may play a significant role in the pathophysiology of acute coronary syndromes.
Journal ArticleDOI

In Vivo Characterization of Coronary Atherosclerotic Plaque by Use of Optical Coherence Tomography

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.
