Figure 2 Prevalence of yellow plaque at the culprit lesions (A), mean (±SD) color grade of the culprit plaque (B) and prevalence of thrombus at the culprit plaques (C). Yellow plaques remained for as long as 18 months at the culprit lesions of acute MI, although the color grade was reduced significantly and the prevalence was reduced mildly but significantly from one to six months after reperfusion. The prevalence of thrombus was decreased significantly from immediately to one month after reperfusion, and further from one to six months. 0M = immediately after reperfusion; M = month(s) after reperfusion. A: *p < 0.05 vs. 1 M. B: *p < 0.005 vs. 1 M. C: *p < 0.005 vs. 0 M.  p < 0.005 vs. 1 M.
