      OCT-Guided Percutaneous Coronary Intervention In Bifurcation Lesions
      Coronary artery bifurcation lesions remain challenging despite significant advancements in stent technology and development of specific bifurcation stenting approaches. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is the intracoronary imaging technique with the highest resolution and can generate automatically contoured lumen areas across the variable geometry of bifurcation lesions. Knowledge of plaque severity and composition facilitates planning of the best strategy for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and stenting. In particular, the provisional stent ...

      Will Optical Coherence Tomography Become the Standard Imaging Tool for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Guidance?
      Editorial Comment: In the last 3 decades, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and, more recently, optical coherence tomography (OCT) have been increasingly used to guide percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Although there are randomized trials, registries, and meta-analyses suggesting better outcomes using IVUS to guide PCI (13), data on the clinical impact of OCT are still missing. In the United Kingdom, consecutive data of all PCI procedures must be prospectively entered in the ...

      Intracoronary Imaging
      Two intracoronary imaging techniques are routinely available to complement angiography in the management of coronary artery disease, namely intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). The former has been in clinical use for 25 years and has directly informed the fundamentals of atherosclerotic plaque composition and arterial remodelling, as well as contemporary optimal stent implantation technique. 1 , 2 The latter, introduced 10 years ago, has only been more widely ...

      Absorb vs. DESolve: an optical coherence tomography comparison of acute mechanical performances
      Aims: The aim of the study was to compare retrospectively the acute mechanical performance of the Absorb vs. DESolve scaffolds in terms of appropriate deployment with OCT. Methods and results: Final post-deployment OCT pullbacks of consecutive patients treated with either Absorb or DESolve were reviewed. The following parameters were calculated and compared: mean and minimal lumen area (MLA), residual in-scaffold area stenosis (RAS), incomplete strut apposition (ISA), tissue prolapse area ...

      Optical coherence tomography guidance for percutaneous coronary intervention with bioresorbable scaffolds
      Background The effect of optical coherence tomography (OCT) guidance on the implantation strategy during all phases of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVSs) in a real-world scenario has been poorly investigated. Methods Consecutive patients undergoing BVS implantation at our institution were included in this registry. Frequency-domain OCT pullbacks were performed at the operator's discretion during all phases of BVS implantation procedures to optimize preparation of lesions ...

      Optical coherence tomography evaluation of intermediate-term healing of different stent types: systemic review and meta-analysis
      Aims The intermediate-term incidence of strut malapposition (SM) and uncovered struts (US), and the degree of neointimal thickness (NIT) according to stent type have not been characterized. Methods and results All studies of 50 patients in which optical coherence tomography was performed between 6 and 12 months after stent implantation were included. The incidences of SM and US were the co-primary end points, while NIT was the secondary end point ...

      This review discusses the possibilities offered by new modalities of non-invasive and invasive coronary imaging in an effort to optimize risk stratification for coronary artery disease, and identify subgroups at high risk that may benefit from an aggressive, personalized approach, with access to a growing number of novel drugs and interventions. Special emphasis is placed on the progress of novel invasive imaging techniques such as near infrared spectroscopy and optical ...

      Time-related changes in neointimal tissue coverage of a novel Sirolimus eluting stent: Serial observations with optical coherence tomography
      Background DES has reduced rates of restenosis compared with BMS but it has been associated with delayed healing and increase of stent thrombosis. The aim of our study was to evaluate the vascular time-related changes following implantation of a new SES coated with an amorphous silicon carbide that allows faster re-endothelisation (Orsiro-Biotronik). Methods This prospective registry enrolled STEMI-patients with multi-vessel disease, thus candidates for a two-step procedure. PCI of the ...

      Comparative analysis method of permanent metallic stents (XIENCE) and bioresorbable poly-L-lactic (PLLA) scaffolds (Absorb) on optical coherence tomography at baseline and follow-up
      Aims: Fully bioresorbable Absorb poly-L-lactic-acid (PLLA) scaffolds (Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA, USA) are a novel approach for the treatment of coronary narrowing. Due to the translucency of the material (PLLA), the optical coherence tomography (OCT) measurement methods used in the ABSORB trials were unique but not applicable for permanent metallic stents. When the Absorb scaffold and metallic stents are compared in the context of randomised trials, it is challenging ...

      Is high pressure postdilation safe in bioresorbable vascular scaffolds? Optical coherence tomography observations after noncompliant balloons inflated at more than 24 atmospheres
      Objectives Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was used to investigate integrity and expansion of bioresorbable drug-eluting scaffolds (BVS) after high-pressure postdilation (HPPD). Background Because of concerns about the risk of BVS damage, postdilation was not recommended and applied in the existing randomized studies and most registries. Recent real world data suggest incomplete BVS expansion cause higher rates of thrombosis. In vivo confirmation of the safety of high pressure postdilation is of ...

      Inducing Persistent Flow Disturbances Accelerates Atherogenesis and Promotes Thin Cap Fibroatheroma Development in D374Y-PCSK9 Hypercholesterolemic Minipigs
      Background Although disturbed flow is thought to play a central role in the development of advanced coronary atherosclerotic plaques, no causal relationship has been established. We evaluated whether inducing disturbed flow would cause the development of advanced coronary plaques, including thin cap fibroatheroma. Methods and Results D374Y -PCSK9 hypercholesterolemic minipigs (n=5) were instrumented with an intracoronary shear-modifying stent (SMS). Frequency-domain optical coherence tomography was obtained at baseline, immediately poststent ...

      Bioresorbable vascular scaffold overlap evaluation with optical coherence tomography after implantation with or without enhanced stent visualization system (WOLFIE study): a two-centre prospective comparison
      To assess if enhanced stent visualization (ESV)-guided implantation of overlapping bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) is superior to angiography alone-guided implantation in the reduction of overlap length. WOLFIE is a two-centre prospective open study enrolling 30 patients treated with implantation of at least two overlapping BVS. In the first centre (London), BVS implantation was guided by conventional angiography, while in the second centre (Ferrara), an ESV system was systematically employed ...
