      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 ...

      A comparison of intracoronary treatment strategies for thrombus burden removal during primary percutaneous coronary intervention: a COCTAIL II substudy
      Background: Manual thrombus aspiration and local drug delivery of abciximab have been proposed as a strategy to reduce thrombus burden during percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction; however, the effectiveness of these approaches, is uncertain. In this COCTAIL II substudy, we compared the effect of these strategies on prestenting and poststenting thrombus burden assessed by optical coherence tomography. Patients and methods: COCTAIL II trial enrolled patients ...

      The role of residual intrastent thrombus during primary angioplasty: insights from the COCTAIL II study
      Aims: Recent frequency-domain optical coherence tomography studies showed that a complete removal of thrombotic materials is rarely achieved after percutaneous coronary interventions for ST segment elevation myocardial infarction. Residual intrastent thrombus can embolize distally leading to microcirculatory injury. The aim was to find a possible correlation between residual intrastent thrombus and angiographic indexes of myocardial reperfusion. Methods: The population consisted of 128 ST segment elevation myocardial infarction patients enrolled in ...

      Reproducibility of serial optical coherence tomography measurements for lumen area and plaque components in humans (The CLI-VAR [Centro per la Lotta Contro l’Infarto-variability] II study)
      Frequency-domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT) is a promising intracoronary imaging technique to study atherosclerosis. Indeed, its unprecedented spatial resolution allows the assessment of fibrous cap thickness, lipid pool and features of plaque vulnerability. Aim of this study was to determine the reproducibility of the in vivo FD-OCT measurements of lumen area and plaque components in serial studies. Twenty-six patients undergoing FD-OCT assessment of intermediate lesion during coronary angiography were included ...

      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 ...

      Optical Coherence Tomography for Characterization of Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy in Late Survivors of Pediatric Heart Transplantation
      Background Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been shown to reliably detect cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV). In recent studies performed in adult heart transplant (HTx) recipients, OCT revealed the presence of vulnerable plaques and complicated coronary artery lesions, thus challenging the current concept that CAV disease is a diffuse concentric and fibrosing vasculopathy. The aim of our study was to characterize CAV by OCT in a young population of HTx recipients ...

    1. The technique allows high-resolution arterial-wall imaging in the range of 10-20 microns, allowing penetrance into the arterial wall and visualisation of specific components of the atherosclerotic plaques, including calcification, fibrotic tissue, necrotic lipid pools and thrombotic components.
