Background Echo-attenuated plaque (EA) on intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is related to
poor outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in acute coronary syndrome …

Objectives: We evaluated the clinical significance of attenuated plaque (hypoechoic plaque
with deep ultrasound attenuation). Background: Attenuated plaques are unusual …

Several intravascular ultrasound studies have reported that culprit lesion-attenuated plaque
(AP) is related to slow flow/no reflow after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Long …

Background: Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) have multiple complex coronary
plaques associated with plaque vulnerability. The present study assessed the tissue …

Background—Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-attenuated plaque is characterized by
absence of ultrasound signal behind hypoehcoic plaque and is seen almost exclusively in …

Aims We sought to compare the morphological features of non-culprit plaques with> 50%
diameter stenosis in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) with those of culprit …

Aims Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging can visualize vulnerable plaque features
including attenuation (AP) and echolucency (ELP). While IVUS-derived vulnerable plaque …

Background—Atherosclerotic plaque that shows echo signal attenuation (EA) without
associated bright echoes is sometimes observed by intravascular ultrasound but its clinical …

OBJECTIVE To use intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) to compare plaque morphology in acute
myocardial infarction and stable angina pectoris. DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess morphology and composition of culprit
and stable coronary lesions by multidetector computed tomography (MDCT). Background …
