Optical Coherence Tomography Analysis of Attenuated Plaques Detected by Intravascular Ultrasound in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndromes

<table>Comparison of fibrous cap thickness between attenuated plaques and nonattenuated plaques. In lipidic plaques, fibrous cap thickness as determined by OCT was significantly thinner in IVUS-detected attenuated plaques compared with nonattenuated plaques.</table>
