Assessment of Culprit Plaque Temperature by Intracoronary Thermography Appears Inconclusive in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndromes

OBJECTIVE—Safety and feasibility evaluation of intracoronary temperature measurements in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) using a catheter based thermography system. METHODS AND RESULTS—Thermography was performed in 40 patients with ACS. A 3.5-F thermography catheter containing 5 thermoc...
