| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The secondary cardiovascular events occurring in patients with coronary artery disease still remains an important clinical issue. Using optical coherence tomography, we have elucidated that vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque is characterized by thin cap fibroatheroma, macrophage infiltration and intraplaque neovascularization. Furthermore, it has been shown that these OCT findings are closely correlated with clinical outcomes, including the development of peri-procedural myocardial infarction, neoatherosclerosis within coronary stent, and long-term outcome in patients undergoing coronary stent implantation.
