However, the preferred in vivo sites for RAP development have not been systematically investigated. This study measured and evaluated RAP to map the distribution of RAP in the radial artery (RA) using optical coherence tomography (OCT).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>OCT images of the entire RA in 300 patients at 1\u00a0mm intervals were analyzed to assess RAP phenotypes and measure the distance of RAP from the radial artery ostium. The RA was evenly divided into three segments: proximal, middle, and distal. Patients were categorized into two groups: the RAP group (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200968) and the non-RAP group (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009232).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Among the 300 patients with 300 radial arteries studied, 68 patients (22.7%) developed 180 distinct RAPs.

The distal segment exhibited a significantly higher median cumulative plaque index compared with the proximal and middle segments (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.031).
