Aims We evaluated the distribution and composition of atherosclerotic plaques at bifurcations with intravascular ultrasound-virtual histology (IVUS-VH) and multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in relation to the bifurcation angle (BA).Methods and results In 33 patients (age 63 +/- 11 years, 79% male) imaged with IVUS-VH and MDCT, 33 bifurcations were matched and studied. The analysed main vessel was divided into a 5 mm proximal segment, the in-bifurcation segment, and a 5 mm distal segment. Plaque contours were manually traced on MDCT and IVUS-VH. Plaques with >10% confluent necrotic core and
