      Plaque Burden Influences Accurate Classification of Fibrous Cap Atheroma by In-Vivo Optical Coherence Tomography in a Porcine Model of Advanced Coronary Atherosclerosis
      Aims: In-vivo validation of coronary optical coherence tomography (OCT) against histology and the effects of plaque burden (PB) on plaque classification remain unreported. We investigated this in a porcine model with human-like coronary atherosclerosis. Methods and results: Five female Yucatan D374Y-PCSK9 transgenic hypercholesterolemic mini-pigs were implanted with a coronary shear-modifying stent to induce advanced atherosclerosis. OCT frames (n=201) were obtained 34 weeks after implantation. Coronary arteries were perfusion-fixed, serially ...

      Detection of early changes in the coronary artery microstructure after heart transplantation: A prospective optical coherence tomography study
      Objectives To describe and characterize changes in the coronary artery microstructure during the first year following heart transplantation (HTx) by serial optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans. Background OCT enables in-vivo cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) microstructure characterization. Early coronary artery microstructure changes after HTx may provide important mechanistic information regarding CAV development. Methods Twenty-six patients were enrolled at routine baseline coronary angiography 3 months after HTx. Coronary OCT scans were performed ...

      Serial Assessment of Tissue Precursors and Progression of Coronary Calcification Analyzed by Fusion of IVUS and OCT
      Objectives The aim of this study was to assess calcium growth with fused grayscale intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), IVUSvirtual histology, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) from baseline to 5-year follow-up in patients treated with bioresorbable vascular scaffolds. Background IVUS and OCT have individual strengths in assessing plaque composition and volume. Fusion of images obtained using these methods could potentially aid in coronary plaque assessment. Methods Anatomic landmarks and endoluminal radiopaque markers ...

      Objectives The aims of this study were to characterize cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) phenotypes using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and to evaluate the prognostic significance of OCT-determined CAV severity. Background Intravascular OCT enables in vivo characterization of CAV microstructure after heart transplantation. Methods Sixty-two patients undergoing heart transplantation were enrolled at routine angiography from September 2013 through October 2015 and prospectively followed until censoring on May 27, 2016.

      ST Elevation Infarction after Heart Transplantation Induced by Coronary Spasms and Mural Thrombus Detected by Optical Coherence Tomography
      The case illustrates the possible link between coronary spasms, intraluminal thrombus formation, and widespread organized and layered thrombi in HTx patients. Furthermore, the case underlines the clinical value of OCT as a novel method for high-resolution vessel imaging in heart-transplanted (HTx) patients with coronary spasms and suspected coronary artery disease. Coronary spasms and sudden death are frequent complications after HTx. The underlying mechanisms leading to these complications are unknown. The ...

      Serial Multimodality Imaging and 2-Year Clinical Outcomes of the Novel DESolve Novolimus-Eluting Bioresorbable Coronary Scaffold System for the Treatment of Single De Novo Coronary Lesions
      Objectives This study sought to report the late multimodality imaging and clinical outcomes of the novel poly- l -lactic-acidbased DESolve novolimus-eluting bioresorbable coronary scaffold for the treatment of de novo coronary lesions. Background Bioresorbable scaffolds are an alternative to drug-eluting metallic stents and provide temporary vascular scaffolding, which potentially may allow vessel restoration and reduce the risk of future adverse events. Methods Overall, 126 patients were enrolled at 13 international ...

      Stent collapse after guide extension catheter collision. Signature procedural finding by optical coherence tomography
      Excessive deformation of stents can lead to strut fracture and subsequent stent collapse. Procedural damages to the stent are rarely visible by angiography during implantation but may be detected by OCT. Here we present a case with a subtle but signature finding by OCT indicative of stent fracture.

      Impact of Side Branch Modeling on Computation of Endothelial Shear Stress in Coronary Artery Disease Coronary Tree Reconstruction by Fusion of 3D Angiography and OCT
      Background Computational fluid dynamics allow virtual evaluation of coronary physiology and shear stress (SS). Most studies hitherto assumed the vessel as a single conduit without accounting for the flow through side branches. Objectives This study sought to develop a new approach to reconstruct coronary geometry that also computes outgoing flow through side branches in hemodynamic and biomechanical calculations, using fusion of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and 3-dimensional (3D) angiography.

      OCT for bifurcation stenting: what have we learned?
      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 ...

      Update on acute coronary syndromes: the pathologists' view
      Although mortality rates from coronary heart disease in the western countries have declined in the last few decades, morbidity caused by this disease is increasing and a substantial number of patients still suffer acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and sudden cardiac death. Acute coronary syndrome occurs as a result of myocardial ischaemia and its manifestations include acute myocardial infarction and unstable angina. Culprit plaque morphology in these patients varies from thrombosis ...
