Abstract
Coronary artery plaque structural stress (PSS) is associated with plaque vulnerability and is quantifiable in vivo with optical coherence tomography (OCT) and near-infrared spectroscopy-intravascular ultrasound (NIRS-IVUS) but the accuracy of these is unclear. This study explored the performance of the two modalities in measuring PSS using histology as reference standard. NIRS-IVUS and OCT images obtained in vessels under physiological pressure require transformation to a zero-pressure condition to estimate PSS. Two methods were examined to achieve this – uniform and non-uniform shrinkage (which may to be superior for eccentric plaques) followed by PSS computation which was compared to histology-derived PSS. NIRS-IVUS and OCT imaging were conducted ex vivo in cadaveric human coronaries prior to histological analysis. In 93 pairs of NIRS-IVUS-histology and 88 pairs of OCT-histology sections, the correlation between the PSS estimated by histology and NIRS-IVUS using the uniform shrinkage approach was higher than that derived by OCT. Non-uniform shrinkage resulted in a numerically lower correlation but no significant difference by Bland-Altman analysis compared to uniform shrinkage.
