In patients with non–flow-limiting vulnerable plaques, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) plus optimal medical therapy reduced the risk for adverse cardiac events and death compared with optimal ...

April 13, 2007 (New York, NY) - A new type of iodine-based contrast agent that interacts with activated macrophages may one day be used in humans during multislice computed tomography to identify ...

ATLANTA -- The concept of using stents to seal off non-flow-limiting vulnerable plaques, before they have a chance to rupture, worked out in the first major trial testing this provocative idea.

People with a buildup of fatty atherosclerotic plaque in the heart's arteries considered at risk of rupturing were far less likely to suffer a serious cardiac event if they underwent percutaneous ...

A greater number of cardiovascular risk factors in patients with acute coronary syndromes equals greater plaque vulnerability, according to a study that used optical coherence tomography to tease out ...

Intravascular imaging methods, such as intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT), and near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), have revolutionized our understanding of coronary ...
