Data are presented as number (percentage) or mean±SD. P values were calculated using t test for continuous variables and Fisher exact test for categorical variables. OCT indicates optical coherence tomography; PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention; PR, plaque rupture; TIMI, thrombolysis in myocardial infarction.
