Lipid-Core Burden Response to Stent Implantation assessed with Near-Infrared Spectroscopy and Intravascular Ultrasound evaluation in Patients with myocardial Infarction

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a new method to identify lipid core plaque (LCP). The LCP and vascular response were assessed with NIRS to examine whether LCP was compressed or redistributed during percutaneous coronary intervention with stent implantation.
