Optical coherence tomography for coronary artery plaque characterization and stent evaluation
Record ID 32012000193
English
Authors' recommendations:
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) generates a highly detailed, magnified view of a thin layer of tissue using reflected infrared light. This technology has been adapted to percutaneous catheters and is used to examine features of intracoronary plaques or stents that may increase the risk of subsequent adverse events, such as clot formation or blockage of the affected coronary artery.
