  Stent thrombosis is a rare complication of percutaneous coronary intervention and carries a poor prognosis. Recent improvements in stent technology and new antiplatelet therapies have reduced the incidence of stent thrombosis. Coronary stent thrombosis has been defined by the Academic Research Consortium criteria. Four types of thrombosis are defined according to the time of occurrence from stent implantation: acute (<24 h), subacute (<30 days), late (between 1 month and 1 year), and very late (>1 year). Management consists primarily of urgent restoration of antegrade coronary flow. The concurrent management of platelet aggregation is of paramount importance; compliance with the regimen ...

17. OCT for bifurcation stenting: what have we learned?
  
  Explore eurointervention.org May 28 2015 Cardiology
  
  Treatment of bifurcation lesions by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) shows major variation in complexity. Intravascular optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides high-resolution images of the pathoanatomy, thrombus, wires and stent positions during the procedure. This information may prove crucial in optimising PCI results and clinical outcomes after complex bifurcation treatment. Mounting evidence confirms the feasibility of OCT in bifurcations, and specific steps where OCT may be advantageous in guiding bifurcation PCI have been identified. Awaiting major clinical outcome trials, OCT has already entered the European guidelines for myocardial revascularisation. This paper aims to provide an overview of the potential clinical use ...

18. Automated peroperative assessment of stents apposition from OCT pullbacks
  
  Explore Computers in Biology and Medicine Feb 24 2015 Cardiology
  
  This study׳s aim was to control the stents apposition by automatically analyzing endovascular optical coherence tomography (OCT) sequences. Lumen is detected using threshold, morphological and gradient operators to run a Dijkstra algorithm. Wrong detection tagged by the user and caused by bifurcation, struts’presence, thrombotic lesions or dissections can be corrected using a morphing algorithm. Struts are also segmented by computing symmetrical and morphological operators. Euclidian distance between detected struts and wall artery initializes a stent׳s complete distance map and missing data are interpolated with thin-plate spline functions. Rejection of detected outliers, regularization of parameters by generalized cross-validation ...

  Explore ScienceDirect Mar 4 2013 Cardiology
  
  In autopsy studies, at least 25% of thrombotic coronary occlusions are caused by plaque erosion in which thrombus often overlies atherosclerotic plaque without evident disruption of the fibrous cap. We performed optical coherence tomography imaging after aspiration thrombectomy and identified plaque erosion as the cause in 31 patients presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Plaque erosion was identified when the fibrous cap of the culprit lesion was intact. Based on clinical criteria, 40% of patients with subcritically occlusive plaque were treated with dual antiplatelet therapy without percutaneous revascularization (group 1), and the remaining 60% of patients underwent angioplasty and stenting ...
