doi: 10.1016/j.jaccas.2025.103750

Figure Lengend Snippet: Intravascular Ultrasound Findings The white arrow indicates the significant stenosis at the diagonal branch bifurcation via coronary angiography. The white triangle indicates the calcified plaque and the C-type calcified and residual thin plaque sign (C-CAT sign) observed by intravascular ultrasound. In addition, the reference vessel diameter was sufficient for 3.0 mm.

Article Snippet: After the 1.5-mm semicompliant balloon dilatation, an intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) (Opticross HD Plus 60MHz Coronary Imaging Catheter; Boston Scientific) was performed ( , ). shows the severe calcification at the distal bifurcation of the diagonal branch along with C-type calcified and residual thin plaque sign (C-CAT sign).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Effect of anti-thrombotic therapy with DAPT or edoxaban on atherosclerotic plaques. A, Change over time in native coronary plaque volume between 10 mm proximal to the stent as assessed by gray-scale IVUS. B, Tissue type as a percentage of area in the proximal region of the native coronary artery wall using iMap-IVUS virtual histologic analysis and changes before and after anti-thrombotic therapy. Comparison of each component of the atherosclerotic coronary artery wall is shown as box plot: C) fibrotic area; D) lipidic area; E) necrotic area; and F) calcified area. Box plots show median and interquartile range. ∗, p < 0.05; ∗∗, p < 0.01. DAPT, dual antiplatelet therapy; IVUS, intravascular ultrasound.
