      Comparison between different approaches to evaluate fibrous cap thickness in sequential OCT studies
      BACKGROUND: In this in vivo human study we tested the reproducibility for optical coherence tomography (OCT) assessment of lumen area (LA) and plaque components measurements, such as lipid arc extension and fibrous cap thickness (FCt). METHODS: We tested the variability of LA, lipid arc and FCt assessments in two repeated OCT pullbacks from the same diseased coronary segment matched using fiduciary anatomical landmarks. In particular, for the reliability of minimal ...

      Optical coherence tomography assessment of macrophages accumulation in non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes
      Aims To investigate in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) the prevalence and the features of optical coherence tomography (OCT)-detected macrophages accumulation in culprit plaques as compared with nonculprit plaques (NCP). Methods The study is a post-hoc analysis of a prospective study aimed at evaluating the relationship between aortic inflammation as assessed by 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose-PET and features of coronary plaque vulnerability as assessed by OCT. We enrolled ...

      Effects of stent postdilatation during primary PCI for STEMI: Insights from coronary physiology and optical coherence tomography
      Objectives This study aimed to assess the impact of stent optimization by NC‐balloon postdilatation (PD) during primary‐PCI for STEMI with the use of coronary physiology and intracoronary imaging. Methods This was a prospective observational study ( ClinicalTrials.gov :NCT02788396). Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and physiological measurements were performed immediately before and after PD with the operators blinded to all measurements. The index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR), coronary flow reserve ...

    8. Role of optical coherence tomography for distal left main stem angioplasty

      Explore Wiley Online Library Cardiology
      Role of optical coherence tomography for distal left main stem angioplasty
      Objective The objective is to analyze the acute and midterm angiographic outcome of percutaneous treatment of left main coronary stem (LM‐PCI) guided by optical coherence tomography (OCT). Background LM‐PCI is a complex procedure, and several anatomical factors may impair its outcome. Intravascular imaging is emerging as a useful tool to guide the procedure. Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients undergoing LM‐PCI at three European centers ...

      Flying through the coronary easily
      Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been waived as a breakthrough in coronary imaging. With its superb resolution in the range of 1020 m, OCT has proven to be a valuable technique in guiding coronary interventions [13]. Apart from this, among other intracoronary technical solutions, OCT certainly has the greatest potential in studying atherosclerosis in vivo, and identifying subjects with vulnerable lesions which leave patients prone to developing hard coronary events ...

      Innovative invasive management without stent implantation guided by optical coherence tomography in acute coronary syndrome
      Background A two-step strategy of invasive management without stenting, guided by optical coherence tomography (OCT), in selected patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), might avoid systematic stent implantation and allow medical therapy alone. Aims To assess the feasibility and safety of such a procedure, and to define coronary imaging characteristics in a specific population. Methods This single-centre proof-of-concept study included all patients with ACS who benefited from a two-step revascularization ...

      Role of optical coherence tomography in identifying sub-optimal stent positioning and predicting major adverse cardiac events in a comparative study with angiography: a CLIO-OPCI II sub-study
      Background Quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) is the gold standard for evaluating correct stenting, despite its limitation in recognizing features indicative of suboptimal deployment. This subanalysis of the CLI-OPCI II registry addressed the role of optical coherence tomography (OCT) to verify whether suboptimal OCT deployment occurs in the presence of an optimal angiographic result. Patients and methods We retrospectively analyzed 125 lesions in the 105 patients with major adverse cardiac events ...
