  Explore ScienceDirect Oct 6 2020 Cardiology
  
  Objectives This study sought to identify morphological predictors of rapid plaque progression. Background Two patterns of plaque progression have been described: slow linear progression and rapid step-wise progression. The former pattern will cause stable angina when the narrowing reaches a critical threshold, whereas the latter pattern may lead to acute coronary syndromes or sudden cardiac death. Methods Patients who underwent optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging during the index procedure and ...

8. Usefulness of longitudinal reconstructed optical coherence tomography images for predicting the need for the reverse wire technique during coronary bifurcation interventions
  
  Explore Wiley Online Library Nov 25 2018 Cardiology
  
  Objectives The aim is to investigate the usefulness of longitudinal reconstructed optical coherence tomography (OCT) images in selecting the reverse wire (RW) technique for inserting a guidewire into a side branch (SB). Background It is sometimes necessary to protect the SB with a guidewire to prevent SB complications in PCI for bifurcation lesions. The RW is a novel method for guidewire insertion into an extremely angulated SB when the standard ...

9. Neointimal coverage of jailed side branches in coronary bifurcation lesions: an optical coherence tomography analysis
  
  Explore LWW Online Sep 20 2017 Cardiology
  
  Objectives: The jailed strut at the side-branch (SB) orifice may be a cause of delayed neointimal coverage and SB flow disturbance after single stenting to bifurcation. The aim of this study was to characterize the exact relationship between the jailed strut pattern at the SB orifice immediately after stent implantation and neointimal coverage of the jailed SB orifice in the chronic phase. Patients and methods: A total of 29 bifurcation ...

10. Current clinical applications of coronary optical coherence tomography
  
  Explore Home - Springer Jul 20 2017 Cardiology
  
  Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an intra-coronary diagnostic technique that provides detailed imagings of blood vessels in the current cardiac catheterization laboratory. The higher resolution of OCT often provides superior delineation of each structure compared with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), and it can reliably visualize the microstructure of normal and diseased arteries. The capabilities of OCT are well suited for the identification of calcified plaque and neointima formation after stent implantation ...

  Objective . To evaluate macular inner retinal layers using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) in patients with homonymous hemianopia due to optic tract syndrome (OTS). Methods . Sixteen eyes of 8 patients with OTS were studied. The macular retinal nerve fiber layer (mRNFL), ganglion cell layer and inner plexiform layer (GCL+IPL), and mRNFL and GCL+IPL (GCC) were measured by SS-OCT (DRI OCT-1 Atlantis).The scanned area was divided into eight ...

  Background Lipid-rich plaque (LRP) is thought to be a precursor to cardiac events. However, its clinical significance in coronary arteries has never been systematically investigated. Objectives This study investigated the prevalence and clinical significance of LRP in the nonculprit region of the target vessel in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods The study included 1,474 patients from 20 sites across 6 countries undergoing PCI, who had optical coherence ...

  Objectives: To investigate the impact of branching angle (BA) on neointimal coverage of drug-eluting stents (DESs) in bifurcation lesions. Background: Previous experimental studies indicated that BA influences the local flow turbulence and wall shear stress, which are associated with neointimal coverage of DESs.

16. Thin-cap fibroatheroma and large calcification at the proximal stent edge correlate with a high proportion of uncovered stent struts in the chronic phase
  
  Explore LWW Online May 14 2016 Cardiology
  
  Objective: A high proportion of uncovered stent struts is associated with late stent thrombosis after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation, which frequently results in myocardial infarction or death. However, the predictors of uncovered stent struts remain unknown. Here, using optical coherence tomography (OCT), we studied the baseline tissue characteristics of the target coronary segment and evaluated their influence on the neointimal coverage of the strut in the chronic phase. Methods: We ...
