Brief Summary  

Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is characterized by rapid stenosis or occlusion of the lumen caused by coronary thrombus formation, resulting in myocardial ischemia or necrosis. It is classified into ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI), non-ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and unstable angina (UA). The benefits of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (primary PCI) in the treatment of ACS have been established

Coronary plaques in ACS are greatly different from those in stable coronary artery disease (SCAD), being characterized by various morphological features and thrombus formation within the coronary artery. Culprit lesions of ACS can be identified as occluded or severely stenotic lesions on a coronary angiogram, but non-culprit lesions that are angiographically shown to be mildly or moderately stenotic also often represent lipid or vulnerable plaques with a necrotic core, suggesting that they are likely to lead to thrombus formation.

Recent advances in intravascular imaging techniques such as intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) have made it possible to assess coronary lesions in greater detail. OCT is an imaging technique that employs near-infrared light with a wavelength of about 1300 nm emitted from the tip and visualizes the vascular lumen based on the light reflected from various parts of the lumen. Because of its high resolution (10 to 15 μm), OCT has played an important role in elucidating the pathology of ACS by, for example, identifying thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) with a large necrotic lipid core, one of the major causes of ACS, and its rupture, and characterizing coronary thrombi as red, white, or mixed thrombi based on morphology and the degree of signal attenuation

This study will evaluate the plaque characteristics (minimum lumen area, fibrous cap thickness, lipid arc extension, presence of microcalcification macrophages infiltration and microchannel formation at the explored plaques) of culprit lesions at baseline & follow-up by OCT analysis (if possible). This information will be correlated with the follow clinical data in these patients undergoing PCI for ACS in young Indian patients.
