Approximately 4 yellow plaques, 1 grade-3 yellow plaque and 1 disrupted yellow plaque were detected per vessel. About 25% of detected yellow plaques were disrupted. More grade-3 yellow plaques and disrupted yellow plaques were detected in ACS than in non-ACS patients. These findings strengthen the association between yellow plaques detected by angioscopy and ACS events.
