Fig. 1

OCT analysis of macrophage accumulation. a Representative two-dimensional image. A line-like high luminance within coronary having a striped shadow is considered as macrophage accumulation (arrows). The cross-sectional areas of the high luminance were measured to calculate macrophage accumulation volume using consecutive frame by frame OCT images within the proximal LAD segment of interest. b Representative three-dimensional image. Macrophage accumulation is indicated by pink color. c Definition of high and low shear stress regions. See main text for detail. LAD, the left anterior descending artery; LCX, left circumflex artery; SS, shear stress
