Intensive lipid-lowering therapy-related regression of a vulnerable plaque confirmed by serial optical coherence tomography: a case report
Vulnerable plaques represent a principal pathological driver of acute coronary events. Sustained and effective LLT promotes plaque stabilization and regression, while serial OCT, owing to its high resolution and reproducibility, enables dynamic assessment of plaque morphology and supports individualized management in patients with ACS.
