5. Optical coherence tomography assessment of a new dedicated bifurcation stent

   Explore Article eurointervention.org (Nov 16 2009) Cardiology

   Dedicated bifurcation stents should facilitate deployment and improved coverage of bifurcational lesions. We used optical coherence tomography (OCT) to assess bifurcation lesions treated with a dedicated stent implanted in the side branch (SB) in conjunction with drug eluting stents in the main vessel (MV) in a culotte-like fashion.

6. Use of optical coherence tomography in interventional cardiology

   Explore Article futuremedicine.com (Nov 7 2009) Cardiology

   Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has offered a greater understanding of coronary atherosclerosis with the ability to visualize plaque and quantify the thin, fibrous cap. Furthermore, OCT is able to traverse many of the limitations of angiography and intravascular ultrasound when imaging coronary stents in vivo. These applications are as a result of the use of near-infrared light, permitting an almost ‘histological’ resolution of the coronary artery. Novel developments with faster ...

7. Optical Coherence Tomography. Ancient Topics, Modern Perspectives

   Explore Article revespcardiol.org (Aug 29 2009) Cardiology

   Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an intracoronary diagnostic technique recently applied in clinical practice that provides high-quality, highresolution (10-20 μm, compared to 80-120 μm with intracoronary ultrasound) cross-sectional images of the vessels. This technique provides valuable information on the characterization of plaques, the mechanisms implicated in thrombosis or restenosis of coronary stents, and relevant information to optimize the results of coronary interventional procedures. One of the (Read Full Article)

   Explore Article American Journal of Ophthalmology (May 31 2009) Ophthalmology

   Purpose To examine the relationships of retinal vascular caliber with optic disc, macular, and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) characteristics as measured with optical coherence tomography (OCT). Design Observational cross-sectional study. Methods This study included a subset of healthy children enrolled in the Singapore Cohort Study of the Risk Factors of Myopia (SCORM). Optic disc, macular, and RNFL morphology were measured with Stratus OCT 3. Digital retinal photography was performed ... (Read Full Article)

9. A Multicentre Evaluation of the Safety of Intra-Coronary Optical Coherence Tomography

   Explore Article eurointervention.org (May 20 2009) Cardiology

   Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is increasingly being applied to the coronary arteries. However, the risks associated with the imaging procedure are not yet well defined. The purpose of the present multicentre registry was to access the acute complicaitons associated with the clinical use of intera-coronary OCT in a large number of patients. (Read Full Article)

10. Incomplete Stent Apposition and Delayed Tissue Coverage Are More Frequent in Drug-Eluting Stents Implanted During Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Than in Drug-Eluting Stents Implanted for Stable/Un

    Explore Article interventions.onlinejacc.org (May 17 2009) Cardiology

    Objectives The aim of this study was to compare the frequency of incomplete stent apposition (ISA) and struts not covered by tissue at long-term follow-up (as assessed by optical coherence tomography [OCT]) in drug-eluting stents (DES) implanted during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) versus DES implanted for unstable and stable angina. Background Incomplete stent apposition and the absence of strut endothelialization might be linked ... (Read Full Article)

11. A Randomized Optical Coherence Tomography Study of Coronary Stent Strut Coverage and Luminal Protrusion With Rapamycin-Eluting Stents

    Explore Article interventions.onlinejacc.org (May 17 2009) Cardiology

    Objectives We used optical coherence tomography, which has a resolution of <20 µm, to analyze thin layers of neointima in rapamycin-eluting coronary stents. Background Lack of neointimal coverage has been implicated in the pathogenesis of drug-eluting coronary stent thrombosis. Angiography and intracoronary ultrasound lack the resolution to examine this. Methods We conducted a randomized trial in patients receiving polymer-coated rapamycin-eluting stents (Cypher, Cordis, Johnson & Johnson, Miami, Florida) and nonpolymer ... (Read Full Article)

    Purpose To determine whether differences exist in morphological structures of dominant and nondominant eyes in children ages 6 or 12 years. The following structural features were assessed: axial length, refraction, corneal radius of curvature, and retinal features—measured with the use of optical coherence tomography (OCT)—including macular and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and optic disk parameters.

    Although drug-eluting stents have dramatically reduced restenosis rates after percutaneous coronary intervention, concerns remain with regard to the potential risk of stent thrombosis. For bifurcation lesions, a stent thrombosis rate up to 3.6% has been reported, and incomplete stent apposition has been proposed as a possible mechanism. We report the case of a 52-year-old man (Read Full Article)
