The purpose of this study is to learn more about lipid rich plaque using Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS)/Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) imaging in patients who have had coronary artery stenting and Optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging.
The aims of this study are to: 1. Test the ability of the new NIRS IVUS system to detect lipid pool 2. Evaluate the accuracy of the NIRS IVUS system for localization of lipide rich plaque: superficial vs deep 3. Improve diagnostic accuracy of OCT for detection of lipid using information from NIRS IVUS

Detection of Lipid Rich Plaque by Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS)
Subjects are presenting for their clinically-indicated cardiac catheterization. NIRS/IVUS imaging will be done at the time of catheterization.
Time frame: Measured one point in time during cardiac catheterization
Differences in NIRS Parameters Between Deep and Superficial Lipid Assessed by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT).
Subjects are presenting for their clinically-indicated cardiac catheterization. NIRS/IVUS imaging will be done at the time of catheterization. Plaques were divided depending on depth of lipid by OCT (cut off value 130 um).
Time frame: Measured at the time of cardiac catheterization
