      Prognosis of spontaneous coronary artery dissection treated by percutaneous coronary intervention with optical coherence tomography
      Background Although about half of patients with spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) face ongoing necrosis, conservative therapy is recommended due to a high complication rate in angiography-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The aim of this study was to investigate clinical outcomes of SCAD treated by optical coherence tomography (OCT)-guided PCI. Methods This study consisted of consecutive 306 patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who underwent OCT-guided PCI. Based on ...

      Gallium nitride light sources for optical coherence tomography
      The advent of optical coherence tomography (OCT) has permitted high-resolution, non-invasive, in vivo imaging of the eye, skin and other biological tissue. The axial resolution is limited by source bandwidth and central wavelength. With the growing demand for short wavelength imaging, super-continuum sources and non-linear fibre-based light sources have been demonstrated in tissue imaging applications exploiting the near-UV and visible spectrum. Whilst the potential has been identified of using gallium ...

      Comparison between Preoperative Optical Coherence Tomography Findings of Carotid Artery Stenosis and Pathological Specimen of Removed Carotid Plaque: Case Report
      Objective: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has recently been applied for the characterization of carotid plaques, but few studies have compared OCT findings with findings from histopathologic examination of carotid plaques. We consider the accuracy, problems, and limitation of OCT findings by comparing OCT findings of carotid artery stenosis and pathological specimen of removed carotid plaque, and confirm that the interpretation of coronary artery findings of OCT can be applied to ...

      Automatic Fibroatheroma Identification from Intravascular Optical Coherence Tomography Images
      Vulnerable plaque identification is important in coronary heart disease diagnosis. Intravascular Optical Coherence Tomography (IVOCT) is an imaging modality which can characterize the appearance of vulnerable plaques. However, current used manual reading of the images is time consuming and subjective. Therefore, an automated and objective assessment of the plaque is necessary. This paper proposes a method for automatic identification of potential vulnerable plaque such as fibroatheroma in IVOCT images. In ...

      Introduction and objectives Vasospastic angina (VSA) can result in endothelial damage and thrombus formation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of thrombus and plaque characteristics at coronary spasm segments compared with nonspasm segments by using optical coherence tomography (OCT) in patients with suspected VSA. Methods One hundred and eighty-three patients with suspected VSA were enrolled in this study. The ergonovine provocation test was performed in all ...

      Optical Coherence Tomography Predictors for Edge Restenosis After Everolimus-Eluting Stent Implantation
      Background Stent edge restenosis (SER) remains a potential limitation of drug-eluting stents. The aim of this study was to determine optical coherence tomography (OCT) predictors for angiographic late SER after everolimus-eluting stent implantation. Methods and Results We retrospectively analyzed 319 patients who underwent OCT immediately after everolimus-eluting stent implantation and scheduled 9- to 12-month follow-up angiography. The binary angiographic SER rate was 10% (32/319) in the patients, 8.4 ...

      Angiographic, optical coherence tomography and histology findings from combination of a drug-coated balloon with an everolimus-eluting stent in a porcine mode
      Background We designed a porcine model to compare the angiographic, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and histological findings of implanting an everolimus-eluting stent (EES) in the same segment of the coronary artery pre-treated with a drug-coating balloon (DCB; paccocath as carrier) with EES alone and DCB plus a bare metal stent (BMS). Methods Seven female swine averaging 46.02.4 kg were treated by random assignment as follows: DCB followed by ...

      High-resolution and nondestructive profile measurement by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography with a visible broadband light source for optical-device fabrication
      We developed a spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) using a visible broadband light source (vis-OCT) for application to high-resolution and nondestructive profile measurement and imaging in semiconductor optical-device fabrication. By using visible broadband light centered at 625 nm and with spectral bandwidth of 260 nm, an axial resolution of 0.69 m in air was obtained. This was effective for inspection of a transparent photoresist film with thickness of 12 ...

      Assessment of Vascular Response after Stent Implantation by Intracoronary Optical Coherence Tomograph
      Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a high resolution (10-20 m) imaging modality that provides microscopic visualization of the coronary artery including vascular response after stent implantation. Compared to conventional intravascular ultrasound, OCT can more clearly identify findings immediately after stent implantation, such as tissue protrusion, stent edge dissection, and incomplete stent strut apposition. Furthermore, OCT allows clinicians to accurately assess the late acquired stent malapposition and strut coverage which could ...

      Reduction of in-stent thrombus immediately after percutaneous coronary intervention by pretreatment with prasugrel compared with clopidogrel: An optical coherence tomography study
      Background Prasugrel is a new-generation thienopyridine antiplatelet agent that provides more consistent and prompt platelet inhibition than clopidogrel. The aim of this study was to compare in-stent thrombus inhibition effect of pretreatment with prasugrel and clopidogrel by using optical coherence tomography (OCT) immediately after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

      The use of optical coherence tomography in acute coronary syndrome
      Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an intracoronary imaging modality which utilizes near-infrared light to provide high-resolution cross-sectional in-vivo images of the coronary artery. OCT imaging technique enables detailed evaluation of plaque morphology in patients with acute coronary syndrome and helps to understand the underlying mechanisms including plaque rupture, plaque erosion, and calcified nodule. It is useful to optimize percutaneous coronary intervention, and evaluate vascular response to coronary intervention and pharmacological ...

      Optical frequency domain imaging vs. intravascular ultrasound in percutaneous coronary intervention (OPINION trial): Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
      Background Optical coherence tomography is becoming increasingly widespread as an adjunctive intravascular diagnostic technique in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), because of its ability to visualize coronary structures at high resolution. Several studies have reported that intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance in PCI might be helpful to reduce subsequent stent thrombosis, restenosis, repeat revascularization, myocardial infarction, and cardiac death.
