Figure 5 Incidence of the Ruptured Plaque Assessed With OCT Before and After PCI and at 9 Months' Follow-Up in UAP and SAP Patients
Ruptured plaque in UAP was increased by PCI (*p < 0.05), and decreased during 9 months' follow-up ( p < 0.005). In SAP, it was not changed after PCI and during follow-up. The incidence of the ruptured plaque was significantly greater in UAP than that in SAP before and after PCI and 9 months' follow-up ( p < 0.05).
