Comments on the Ozaki study

Typical Japanese study.  Single center, non-randomized.  I have great respect for Professor Akasaka and his team.  I believe they are the most experienced OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) team in the world.

No surprise that presence TCFA ( thin-cap fibroatheroma) is related to higher observation of MVO (microvascular obstruction).   I think OCT will change the management of coronary disease due to data like these.  Would love to see the NIH fund a outcome driven study with OCT.
