REPRESS defines vulnerable plaque by fibrous cap thickness below 75 µm plus at least two additional high-risk features. OCT is used in REPRESS because it provides high-resolution intravascular imaging of plaque morphology. OCT can characterise fibrous, calcified, lipid-rich, and vulnerable plaque features including cap thickness and macrophage infiltration.
