Abstract

Intravascular techniques have been developed to visualize various features of vulnerable plaques. There is yet no single technique that has unequivocally demonstrated the capability to accurately predict plaque rupture in patients. We are developing labeled biomarkers for vulnerable coronary atherosclerotic plaque, which will be detected in vivo, in situ with intravascular imaging devices, during a cardiovascular intervention.
