Several studies have demonstrated that type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with accelerated atherosclerosis, which results in an increased risk of coronary vascular events. However, serial changes in plaque characteristics have not been reported in vivo. We evaluated the progression of coronary atherosclerosis in patients with T2DM using an integrated backscatter intravascular ultrasound (IB-IVUS) examination.
