Reduction of Lipid-Core Burden Index in Nonculprit Lesions at Follow-Up after ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction: A Randomized Study of Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold versus Optimal Medical Therapy

Reduction of Lipid-Core Burden Index in Nonculprit Lesions at Follow-Up after ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction: A Randomized Study of Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold versus Optimal Medical Therapy

Background. Non-flow-limiting nonculprit lesions (NCL) that contain a large lipid-rich necrotic core (nonculprit lipid-rich plaques (NC-LRP)) are most likely to cause recurrent acute coronary syndrome after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) detects LRPs us...
