Background: Periprocedural myocardial injury (PMI) is not an uncommon complication and is related to adverse cardiac events after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We investigated the predictors of PMI in patients with stable angina pectoris (SAP) on intravascular imaging.

Methods and results: We enrolled 193 SAP patients who underwent pre-PCI intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Clinical characteristics, lesion morphology, and long-term follow-up data were compared between patients with and without PMI, defined as post-PCI elevation of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin-T. PMI were observed in 79 patients (40.9%). Estimated glomerular filtration rate (odds ratio [OR], 0.973; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.950-0.996; P=0.020), ≥2 stents (OR, 3.100; 95% CI: 1.334-7.205; P=0.009), final myocardial blush grade 0-2 (OR, 4.077; 95% CI: 1.295-12.839; P=0.016), and IVUS-identified echo-attenuated plaque (EA; OR, 3.623; 95% CI: 1.700-7.721; P<0.001) and OCT-derived thin-cap fibroatheroma (OCT-TCFA; OR, 3.406; 95% CI: 1.307-8.872; P=0.012) were independent predictors of PMI on multivariate logistic regression analysis. A combination of EA and OCT-TCFA had an 82.4% positive predictive value for PMI. On Cox proportional hazards analysis, PMI was an independent predictor of adverse cardiac events during 1-year follow-up (hazard ratio, 2.984; 95% CI: 1.209-7.361; P=0.018).

Conclusions: Plaque morphology assessment using pre-PCI IVUS and OCT may be useful for predicting PMI in SAP patients.

Purpose: To investigate the presence of tubulation in the outer nuclear layer of patients with Bietti crystalline dystrophy (BCD) using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and evaluate its relationship with visual field, visual field progression, and retinal volume.

Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study included 37 patients diagnosed with BCD who underwent spectral-domain OCT examination. OCT examinations and Humphrey visual field tests (10-2 program) were conducted.

Background: Recent studies have suggested that retinal changes measured with optical coherence tomography are detectable in early Parkinson's disease (PD), highlighting the potential of ophthalmic biomarkers for diagnosis and monitoring.

Objective: We set out to investigate the relationship between optic disc pallor measured in fundoscopy images and both prevalent and incident PD.

Methods: We analyzed color fundus photographs from 787 UK Biobank participants: 89 with prevalent PD, 317 with incident PD, and 381 age- and sex-matched controls.

Electromagnetic wave absorption materials that can be utilized for freewill adhering or peeling from the target substrate remain a challenge to be solved. Compared to powder-based slurry and coatings, microwave absorption films possess clear advantages for their good flexibility and machinability. However, the matching thickness and effective bandwidth of 2D microwave absorption films cannot satisfy the current application requirements.

Background: Patients with acute myocardial infarction and angiographically obstructive non-culprit lesions are at high risk for recurrent major adverse cardiac events (MACEs). However, it remains largely unknown whether events are due to stenosis severity or due to the underlying high-risk lesion morphology.

Methods: Between January 2017 and December 2021, 1312 patients with acute myocardial infarction underwent optical coherence tomography of all the 3 main epicardial arteries after successful percutaneous coronary intervention.
