Intravascular Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) Bifurcation - Lipid Core Plaque Shift Study

NCT00905671 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE4 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 20

Last updated 2014-09-04

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This pilot study is going to examine the hypothesis that in coronary arteries, soft lesions that contain lipid cores, but are not calcified or fibrotic and are located in proximity to side branches, are associated with side branch compromise as a result of plaque shift during angioplasty and stenting. Plaque characteristics will be detected by intravascular near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS).
