Optical coherence tomography to detect macrophages in atheroma in vivo

2021-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Introduction. Macrophages play a key role in atherosclerotic plaque instability, they engender plaque rupture, leading to thrombosis and myocardial infarction. Their detection in coronary artery plaques would enable stratification of patients for better treatment of ~vulnerable~ phenotypes. Intra-coronary Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) enables visualisation of vulnerable plaque morphology and has the potential...
