Sources of Error and Interpretation of Plaque Morphology by Optical Coherence Tomography

This study was performed to assess the strengths and weaknesses of optical coherence tomography (OCT) intravascular imaging in identifying plaque morphology. Seventy-nine postmortem human coronary arterial sections classified as fibrous-cap atheromas, calcific plaques, fibrous plaques, and complicat...

Zusammenfassung:This study was performed to assess the strengths and weaknesses of optical coherence tomography (OCT) intravascular imaging in identifying plaque morphology. Seventy-nine postmortem human coronary arterial sections classified as fibrous-cap atheromas, calcific plaques, fibrous plaques, and complicated lesions were studied. OCT was able to identify 45% of fibrous-cap atheromas (κ = 0.27, p
