Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Male or female patients aged 18-80 years; 2. Meet with NSTE-ACS diagnostic criteria; Coronary angiography confirmed the presence of stent-free stenosis, and the defined scope met one of the following criteria: (1) Coronary artery stenosis with diameter less than 70% does not require stent implantation, which could be used as OCT observation target. (2) Coronary artery stenosis with diameter more than 70%, stent implantation and other vessels without interventional treatment, which could be selected as the target of OCT observation. (3) Coronary artery stenosis with diameter more than 70%, stent implantation during operation, and stenosis without interventional treatment in other parts of the same vessel, which is more than 5 mm away from the edge of the stent, could be used as the target of OCT observation. Note: OCT screening criteria for enrolled coronary artery plaques: fiber cap thickness90 °. 3. The imaging results showed AS lesions in situ (not in stent or CABG). 4. The informed consent was signed by the patients themselves or their legal representatives before the study began.
Exclusion criteria
