Objectives This study aimed to investigate the role of intraplaque neovascularisation (NV) in culprit lesions and non-culprit lesions of unstable angina pectoris (UAP) and in lesions of stable angina pectoris (SAP) using optical coherence tomography (OCT).Design This study was a retrospective study.Setting The significance of NV for culprit and non-culprit plaques remains unclear.Participants A total of 356 plaques from 92 UAP patients and 25 SAP patients who underwent OCT imaging were divided into three groups: culprit lesions in UAP (92), non-culprit lesions in UAP (203) and lesions of SAP (61).Main outcome measures NV and plaque characteristics were examined by OCT and plaques with and without NV were compared.Results Among UAP culprit lesions, plaques with NV had significantly higher incidence of thin cap fibroatheroma (81% vs 47%, p=0.002) compared with those without NV. In addition, the fibrous cap was thinner (56 +/- 20 mu m vs 75 +/- 30 mu m, p
