To address the potential risk of acute coronary syndrome, the current clinical guidelines on coronary artery diseases recommend revascularization in significant and flow-limiting lesions, but emerging data depict vulnerable atherosclerotic coronary plaques as possibly at risk of adverse cardiac events, compared to fibroatheromous or calcific plaques [...].
