Prevalence and Clinical Significance of Layered Plaque in Patients With Stable Angina Pectoris 　- Evaluation With Histopathology and Optical Coherence Tomography.

CONCLUSIONS: Healed plaque containing intramural thrombus is identified as layered plaque by OCT, and was frequently observed, even in SAP patients. Intramural thrombus might play an important role in the development of coronary plaque with a high degree of stenosis in SAP patients. PMID: 31645508 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
