Prevalence of Thin-Cap Fibroatheroma in Relation to the Severity of Anatomical and Physiological Stenosis

Background:The relationship between the features of morphologically unstable plaque and physiological lesion severity remains elusive. We aimed to investigate this relationship using optical coherence tomography (OCT)-derived high-risk plaque characteristics and fractional flow reserve (FFR) as the...
