  • Coronary allograft vasculopathy is a severe complication of heart transplantation. In this paper, the authors used virtual histology intravascular ultrasound to characterize plaque burden and tissue composition over time in vessels of heart transplant recipients. Knowledge of the relationship between changes in plaque composition and clinical outcome might facilitate identification of high-risk patients who require more aggressive medical therapy.

  • Quantitative assessment of plaque composition has not been possible with grayscale IVUS analysis—until now. Here König and coworkers examine intravascular ultrasonography-derived virtual histology, a method which can provide detailed analysis of plaque morphology, providing more information on the vulnerability of coronary plaques and, in turn, the risk of acute clinical events.
