Optical frequency domain imaging identifies small black holes matching intravascular neoangiogenesis on histology.
Case Report (n=1)
Small black holes seen on OFDI correspond to intravascular neoangiogenesis on histology, providing a potential imaging marker for this plaque feature.

Case underscores family history in sudden death risk; leaves open prospective studies on preventive imaging.
Vorpahl et al. (2010) conducted a case report in Myocardial infarction / sudden cardiac death (n=1). Optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI) was evaluated. Optical frequency domain imaging identified small black holes (50-300 μm) that matched intravascular neoangiogenesis formation in corresponding histology sections.
