BACKGROUND: Development of vulnerable lesion may take place simultaneously at many
sites of coronary vasculature, therefore causing multisite instability. The prevalence of the …

Background: The risk of plaque disruption and subsequent thrombosis in patients with
unstable angina depends on the plaque type and size. Design: Intravascular ultrasound …

Background: Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) predictors of native culprit lesion morphology
for occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) have not been reported. Moreover …

OBJECTIVES To determine the morphologic features of coronary plaques associated with
acute coronary syndrome, we prospectively followed patients with atherosclerotic disease …

Background—The morphological characteristics of coronary plaques in patients with stable
versus unstable coronary syndromes have been described in vivo with intravascular …

OBJECTIVE To investigate the use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) in detecting the
presence of arterial remodelling in patients with unstable angina. DESIGN Prospective case …

Background. Acute coronary syndrome remains the leading cause of death worldwide. The
rupture of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque in the coronary artery is a common …

Prior intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) studies have demonstrated that a positive remodeling
pattern of a culprit lesion is observed more frequently in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) …

Background: Coronary plaque rupture is shown to be an important contributor in the
pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and acute coronary syndromes. The present study …

OBJECTIVES We examined the association between the features of the culprit lesion in
coronary artery disease (CAD) and clinical presentation as shown by intravascular …
