Prevalence of spontaneous coronary artery dissection in patients with acute coronary syndrome
Tsuyoshi Nishiguchi,Atsushi Tanaka,Yuichi Ozaki,Akira Taruya,Shota Fukuda,Haruyuki Taguchi,Tetsuya Iwaguro,Satoshi Ueno,Yasushi Okumoto,Takashi Akasaka +9 more
TL;DR: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is not a rare cause for ACS, especially in females without classical coronary risk factors, as investigated in 326 patients with ACS who underwent optical coherence tomography.

Effect of Atorvastatin Therapy on Fibrous Cap Thickness in Coronary Atherosclerotic Plaque as Assessed by Optical Coherence Tomography: The EASY-FIT Study
Kenichi Komukai,Takashi Kubo,Hironori Kitabata,Yoshiki Matsuo,Yuichi Ozaki,Shigeho Takarada,Yasushi Okumoto,Yasutsugu Shiono,Makoto Orii,Kunihiro Shimamura,Satoshi Ueno,Takashi Yamano,Takashi Tanimoto,Yasushi Ino,Tomoyuki Yamaguchi,Hirata Kumiko,Atsushi Tanaka,Toshio Imanishi,Hideharu Akagi,Takashi Akasaka +19 more
TL;DR: Atorvastatin therapy at 20 mg/day provided a greater increase in fibrous cap thickness in coronary plaques compared with 5 mg/ day of atorvastsatin.

Comparison of contrast media and low-molecular-weight dextran for frequency-domain optical coherence tomography.
Yuichi Ozaki,Hironori Kitabata,Hiroto Tsujioka,Seiki Hosokawa,Manabu Kashiwagi,Kohei Ishibashi,Kenichi Komukai,Takashi Tanimoto,Yasushi Ino,Shigeho Takarada,Takashi Kubo,Keizo Kimura,Atsushi Tanaka,Kumiko Hirata,Masato Mizukoshi,Toshio Imanishi,Takashi Akasaka +16 more
TL;DR: FD-OCT image acquisition with LMD-L has the potential to reduce the total amount of contrast media without loss of image quality and excellent correlations were observed between both flushing solutions.

Optical Coherence Tomography-Derived Anatomical Criteria for Functionally Significant Coronary Stenosis Assessed by Fractional Flow Reserve
Yasutsugu Shiono,Hironori Kitabata,Takashi Kubo,Tomizou Masuno,Shingo Ohta,Yuichi Ozaki,Hiromichi Sougawa,Makoto Orii,Kunihiro Shimamura,Kohei Ishibashi,Kenichi Komukai,Takashi Yamano,Takashi Tanimoto,Yasushi Ino,Tomoyuki Yamaguchi,Kumiko Hirata,Masato Mizukoshi,Toshio Imanishi,Takashi Akasaka +18 more
TL;DR: Anatomical measurements of coronary stenosis obtained by OCT show significant correlation with FFR, suggesting OCT has the potential to predict functionally significant stenosis, although the present OCT-derived parameters were smaller than those reported in previous IVUS studies.

Association between circulating monocyte subsets and in-stent restenosis after coronary stent implantation in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction.
Yong Liu,Toshio Imanishi,Hideyuki Ikejima,Hiroto Tsujioka,Yuichi Ozaki,Akio Kuroi,Keishi Okochi,Kohei Ishibashi,Takashi Tanimoto,Yasushi Ino,Hironori Kitabata,Takashi Akasaka +11 more
TL;DR: CD14(+)CD16(+)CX3CR1(+) monocytes might have a role in ISR following coronary BMS implantation in patients with AMI, and was an independent predictor for in-stent late lumen loss.
