Three‐dimensional imaging of fibrous cap by frequency‐domain optical coherence tomography

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, 2012
Histopathological data correlated the presence of thin‐cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) with adverse cardiovascular events. Intravascular optical coherence tomography (iOCT) is currently the only imaging modality with sufficiently high axial resolution (∼15 μm) that allows direct fibrous‐cap (FC) assessment in vivo.

PCSK9 expression in fibrous cap possesses a marker for rupture in advanced plaque

Vascular Medicine
Background: To date, PCSK9 inhibitors are well known for eliminating cardiac and cerebral artery ischemia events by lowering the serum lipid level. However, the pathophysiological value of in-plaque PCSK9 expression is still unclear. Methods: Advanced plaques removed by carotid endarterectomy were sectioned and stained to identify the PCSK9 expression ...

Semi-automated Quantification of Fibrous Cap Thickness in Intracoronary Optical Coherence Tomography

2014
Acute coronary syndrome represents a leading cause of death. Events are triggered by rupture of atheromatic plaques, as a result of disruption of the overlying fibrous cap. Pathological studies have shown that cap thickness is a critical component of plaque stability.
