Serial longitudinal changes of coronary calcified plaques with clear outer borders under intensive lipid management: insights from optical coherence tomography
Heart and Vessels(2023)
摘要
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for calcified lesions is one of the most challenging procedures related to worse clinical outcomes. To stabilize vulnerable plaques, intensive lipid management is recommended; however, the serial changes of calcified plaques under intensive lipid management are unknown. A total of 31 patients (mean age, 63 ± 10 years; men, 29 patients) who underwent PCI with intensive lipid management were retrospectively studied. We evaluated the serial longitudinal changes of calcified plaques with clear outer borders using optical coherence tomography (OCT) at two time points: at the time of PCI (baseline) and the chronic phase. The median interval from PCI to chronic phase was 287 (233–429) days. Twenty-eight patients (90.3
