Gender-based in vivo comparison of culprit plaque characteristics and plaque microstructures using optical coherence tomography in acute coronary syndrome [PDF]
Journal of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Research, 2021 Introduction: Women perform worse after acute coronary syndrome (ACS) than men. The reason for these differences is unclear. The aim was to ascertain gender differences in the culprit plaque characteristics in ACS.

eLife, 2021 Plaque rupture occurs if stress within coronary lesions exceeds the protection exerted by the fibrous cap overlying the necrotic lipid core. However, very little is known about the biomechanical stress exerting this disrupting force.

Optical Coherence Tomography and Fibrous Cap Characterization [PDF]
Current Cardiovascular Imaging Reports, 2011 The pathophysiology of acute coronary syndromes has long been associated with atherosclerotic plaque rupture. Inflammation, thinning, and disruption of the fibrous cap have been implicated with the final processes leading to plaque rupture, but confirmation of these mechanisms of coronary thrombosis in humans has been hampered by the lack of imaging ...

Fibrous Cap Thickness and Stability of Carotid Atheromata [PDF]
Stroke, 2006 To the Editor: We read with great interest the article by Li et al.1 The authors are to be congratulated for their excellent study. We totally agree that clinical decision-making in patients with carotid disease should take into consideration plaque morphology (eg, fibrous cap thickness) as well as the degree of lumen stenosis.

No fibrous cap and pannus formation in an On-X mechanical aortic valve [PDF]
Interactive CardioVascular and Thoracic Surgery, 2020 Abstract Mechanical cardiac valves placed in the aortic position can show different amounts of pannus under the aortic ring. A 68-year-old patient had undergone mitral annuloplasty with a 30-mm rigid ring and aortic valve replacement with a 21-mm On-X mechanical valve for mitral regurgitation and aortic valve stenosis 10 years and 3 ...
