Although a powerful diagnostic tool, angiography can show only the shadow of the luminal changes and therefore is an insufficient tool for diagnosis of pathological changes. Recent advances in fi beroptic technology now enable observation of the luminal changes even in small diame...
متن کاملMolecular Imaging of Atherosclerotic Coronary Plaques by Fluorescent Angioscopy
It is generally believed that the coronary plaques with lipid-laden thin fibrous cap and a large lipid core beneath are vulnerable and imaging methods such as intravascular ultrasonography1, optical coherence tomography2, and angioscopy3-5 are clinically employed to detect this type of plaques. However, the coronary plaques that have a thin cap composed of tight calcium layers are frequently ob...
متن کاملDetection of vulnerable coronary plaques by color fluorescent angioscopy.
OBJECTIVES This study was carried out to detect vulnerable coronary plaques by color fluorescent angioscopy. BACKGROUND Collagen fibers (CFs) mainly provide mechanical support to coronary plaques. Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL) induces macrophage proliferation, which in turn destroy CFs while accumulating lipids. As such, demonstration of the absence of CFs, deposition of lipids, a...
