The vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque is associated with an increased number of acute coronary syndromes. Current techniques such as coronary angiography are unable to detect and prospectively evaluate these lesions. Recently, other techniques, both invasive and noninvasive, are being developed trying to detect the plaque that is at increased risk for rupture eventually resulting in increased thrombosis. This review describes briefly evolving techniques for imaging of vulnerable plaques and describes in detail intravascular thermography.

There has been great interest in the possibility of identifying plaques that might be the site of future acute coronary events. These plaques are termed vulnerable and the majority are lipid-rich with an abundance of inflammatory cells and a thin fibrous cap. Several techniques developed to identify these plaques are in various stages of development and in the near future, one might employ a strategy to potentially identify and therapeutically modify such lesions during percutaneous intervention to avoid future acute events. Although this approach of identifying the vulnerable plaque seems promising, there are significant potential limitations. The natural history of a vulnerable plaque is unknown and clinical trials utilizing this strategy of identification and therapeutic intervention are lacking. Moreover, in any given patient, multiple vulnerable plaques are likely to be present. This article reviews some of the techniques for identifying a vulnerable plaque and discusses the potential advantages and limitations of this strategy.
