Figure 1 Patient OFDI-01 Images of Left Anterior Descending Coronary Artery
(A) Right anterior oblique angiogram after stent deployment, showing stent site (s) and 4.2-cm optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI) pullback segment (ps). (B) Maximum intensity projection and (C) cutaway views of 3-dimensional volume-rendered OFDI data set, showing scattered calcium deposits and a large lipid-rich lesion at the distal portion of the pullback segment (red arrowhead). Color scale for B and C: red = artery wall; green = macrophages; yellow = lipid pool; blue = stent; white = calcium; gray = guidewire. Scale bars in B and C, 5.0 mm.

Figure 2 Patient OFDI-01 Longitudinal and Cross-Sectional Images of Left Anterior Descending Artery
(A) Longitudinal optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI) section, corresponding to the cut surface of (Fig. 1C). (B) Expanded view of dotted region in A, demonstrating a large calcific nodule (blue arrowheads) and a lipid pool with a thin fibrous cap (black arrow). (C) Expanded view of an OFDI cross-sectional image obtained at location of the black arrow in B and red arrowhead in Figure 1C, shows a lipid pool with a thin fibrous cap (black arrow) and a dense band of macrophages at the cap–lipid pool interface (green arrow). A thin flap of tissue (black arrowhead) can be seen over the cap. Scale bar in A, 5.0 mm. Scale bar in B, 1.0 mm. Tick marks in C, 0.25 mm. L = lipid pool.

Figure 3 Patient OFDI-02 Images of Right Coronary Artery (Session 2)
(A) Left anterior oblique angiogram after stent deployment, showing previous (s1, BMS) and current (s2, DES) stents and 7.0-cm optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI) pullback segment (ps). (B) Cutaway view of entire 3-dimensional volume rendered OFDI data set (top = proximal; bottom = distal). (C) Expanded view of segment denoted by magenta dotted line in B, showing the BMS. (D) Expanded view of segment denoted by cyan dotted line in B, showing the DES. White dotted line in D is through a lipid-rich lesion, proximal to the DES. Color scale for B to D: red = artery wall; green = macrophages; yellow = lipid pool; blue = stent; white = calcium; gray = guide wire. BMS = bare-metal stent; DES = drug-eluting stent.

Figure 4 Patient OFDI-02 Images of Right Coronary Artery Stents
(A) Fly-through view (distal-proximal) of the BMS shows covered struts underneath the surface of the artery wall, as well as some struts that appear near the luminal surface. (B) Fly-through view (distal-proximal) of the DES demonstrates uncovered struts. (C and D) Optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI) cross-sectional images of the BMS and DES respectively. The OFDI appearance of the struts is different for the 2 stents. Tick marks, 1 mm. Abbreviations as in Figure 3.

Figure 5 Patient OFDI-02 Images of a Distal Right Coronary Artery Thin-Capped Fibroatheroma
(A) Fly-through view (distal-proximal), demonstrates a circumferential lipid-rich lesion with abundant macrophages, partially covered by the stent. (B) An optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI) cross-sectional image obtained at location of white arrowheads in A and dotted line in Figure 3D, shows a circumferential lipid pool (L). Thin cap sites (black arrowheads) can be identified at multiple locations within the cross-sectional image. Macrophages (green arrowheads) and cholesterol crystals (red arrows) can also be seen. Tick marks, 1 mm. *Guide wire artifact.

Figure 6 Patient OFDI-03 Images of Right Coronary Artery
(A) A left anterior oblique angiogram after stent deployment shows stent site (s) and 3.0-cm optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI) pullback segment (ps). (B) Fly-through view (distal-proximal) demonstrates a calcified lesion underneath the stent (arrow). (C) An OFDI cross-sectional image, obtained at location of yellow arrow in B, shows a large calcific nodule from 11- to 4-o'clock. Tick marks, 1 mm.

Figure 7 Patient OFDI-03 Images of Right Coronary Artery Stent
(A) Perspective cutaway view of entire 3-dimensional volume rendered optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI) data set (left = proximal; right = distal), demonstrating the stent (blue), a side branch (yellow arrow), and a large calcific nodule (red arrowhead). (B) Longitudinal section through a portion of the dataset, corresponding to the gray dotted rectangle in A. The side branch (black arrow) and calcific nodule (red arrowhead) are evident. Scale bar in B, 1.0 mm.
