Relationship between the amount and location of macrophages and clinical outcome: subanalysis of the clima-study
Int J Cardiol
The ability of optical coherence tomography (OCT) to recognize intraplaque macrophage infiltration is now well acknowledged. This post-hoc analysis of the CLIMA study aimed to address the clinical impact of the circumferential extension of OCT-defined macrophages and their location at one year follow-up.
