目的评价血管内光学相干断层成像(OCT)显示活体冠状动脉斑块成分的可行性和能力。背景：易损冠状动脉斑块破裂继发血栓形成是目前公认的急性心肌梗死的主要机制。尽管这种斑块被认为有一个覆盖在脂质池上的薄纤维帽，但在目前的临床实践中，成像方法没有足够的分辨率来识别薄(
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and the ability of intravascular optical coherence tomography (OCT) to visualize the components of coronary plaques in living patients.BACKGROUND Disruption of a vulnerable coronary plaque with subsequent thrombosis is currently recognized as the primary mechanism for acute myocardial infarction. Although such plaques are considered to have a thin fibrous cap overlying a lipid pool, imaging modalities in current clinical practice do not have sufficient resolution to identify thin (
