Aims: Vascular calcification is observed in advanced atherosclerotic lesions. Vascular calcification is considered to increase the risk of intraplaque hemorrhage and subsequent plaque destabilization; however, there is limited pathohistoological evidence of the association between vascular calcification and intraplaque hemorrhage. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between vascular calcification and intraplaque hemorrhage in the coronary arteries.
