      The role of optical coherence tomography in the setting of acute myocardial infarction
      In recent years, intravascular imaging-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been increasing in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, the role of optical coherence tomography (OCT) has not been established in the setting of AMI despite OCT providing superior resolution (10 m axial resolution) and facilitating assessment of baseline lesion characteristics and post-intervention evaluation of the acute result of stent implantation, including visualization of procedural dissections, malapposition, tissue prolapse ...

    4. Comparison between Optical COherence tomography guidance and Angiography guidance in percutaneous coronary intervention (COCOA): Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

      Comparison between Optical COherence tomography guidance and Angiography guidance in percutaneous coronary intervention (COCOA): Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
      Background Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is increasingly used as an adjunct to coronary angiography for guiding percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The current consensus on PCI is that the large final stent area offers the best chance of a good late clinical outcome. Since OCT provides more accurate information about the coronary artery and implanted stents, OCT-guided stent implantation is expected to achieve greater stent expansion than angiography guidance alone. Therefore ...

      Growth of quantum three-dimensional structure of InGaAs emitting at ~1 µm applicable for a broadband near-infrared light source
      We obtained a high-intensity and broadband emission centered at ~1 m from InGaAs quantum three-dimensional (3D) structures grown on a GaAs substrate using molecular beam epitaxy. An InGaAs thin layer grown on GaAs with a thickness close to the critical layer thickness is normally affected by strain as a result of the lattice mismatch and introduced misfit dislocations. However, under certain growth conditions for the In concentration and growth temperature ...

      Objectives We sought to clarify how intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography affect percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with current-generation drug-eluting stents in a pre-specified substudy of the OPINION (OPtical frequency domain imaging versus INtravascular ultrasound in percutaneous coronary interventiON) trial, a multicenter, prospective, randomized, noninferiority trial comparing optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI)-guided PCI with IVUS-guided PCI. Background The impact of these 2 imaging modalities in guiding PCI remains ...

      Refractive index tomography based on optical coherence tomography and tomographic reconstruction algorithm
      Refractive index (RI) tomography based on not quantitative phase imaging (QPI) but optical coherence tomography (OCT) is proposed. In conventional RI tomography, the phase unwrapping process deteriorates measurement accuracy owing to the unwrapping error. To eliminate the unwrapping process, the introduction of OCT is proposed, because OCT directly provides optical thickness. The proposed method can improve measurement accuracy owing to the removal of the phase unwrapping error. The feasibility of ...

      Suboptimal agreement between optical coherence tomography and near-infrared spectroscopy for identification of lipid-laden plaque
      Recently developed intracoronary imaging techniques allow real-time, in vivo identification of lipid in atherosclerotic plaques. Optical coherence tomography (OCT), a light-based imaging technique with high axial resolution (10-20 m), identifies lipid-laden plaques as signal-poor regions with diffuse borders. A validation study performed versus histopathology confirmed the high sensitivity (90% to 94%) and specificity (90% to 92%) of OCT to identify lipid-laden plaques 1 . Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) detects lipid-laden plaque by ...

      Morphological and pharmacological determinants of peri-procedural myocardial infarction following elective stent implantation: Optical coherence tomography sub-analysis of the PRASFIT-Elective study
      Background Previous studies have suggested that peri-procedural myocardial infarction (PMI) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with adverse short- and long-term outcomes, and several morphological predictors of PMI have been studied. However, the determinants of PMI under novel anti-platelet therapy are not fully elucidated. Methods and results PRASFIT-Elective is a multicenter, parallel-group study of PCI patients in non-acute settings receiving either prasugrel or clopidogrel in addition to aspirin. Among ...
