Stepwise regression of non-culprit lipid-rich plaque observed using serial near-infrared spectroscopy–intravascular ultrasound and optical coherence tomographic measurements after aggressive cholesterol-lowering treatment: a case report

BACKGROUND: Lipid-rich plaques (LRP) in the non-culprit lesions (NCL) in patients with the acute coronary syndrome may trigger lesion-related, adverse cardiovascular events. Aggressive lipid-lowering therapy may stabilize LRP; however, the times of stabilization remain undefined. CASE SUMMARY: A 60-...
