The basics of intravascular optical coherence tomography
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has opened new horizons for intravascular coronary imaging. It utilizes near-infrared light to provide a microscopic insight into the pathology of coronary arteries in vivo. Optical coherence tomography is also capable of identifying the chemical composition of atherosclerotic plaques and detecting traits of their vulnerability. At present it is the only tool ...
متن کاملIntravascular ultrasound versus optical coherence tomography guidance.
After the introduction of coronary stenting, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) was established as the most reliable imaging tool to guide stenting in complex lesions, including coverage of ostial lesions, bifurcation lesions, left main stenting, and chronic total occlusions; and is helpful in determining the cause of stent failures, including in-stent restenosis. These features once verified by I...
متن کاملOptical coherence tomography or intravascular ultrasound?
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has been an important modality in understanding the in vivo pathophysiology of coronary artery disease and in predicting outcome of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The IVUS features associated with acute coronary syndromes include positive remodeling, large plaque burden, ruptured plaque, and intracoronary thrombus. Plaque burden, lesion site calcium, a...
متن کاملOptical coherence tomography: its value in intravascular diagnosis today.
Optical coherence tomography is a recently developed high-resolution intravascular diagnostic technique. Initially, it was mainly used for characterizing atherosclerotic plaque because it served a number of functions, from identifying plaque with high lipid content to detecting macrophage accumulation, both of which are associated with plaque instability. Currently, there is growing interest in...
متن کاملVolumetric quantification of fibrous caps using intravascular optical coherence tomography
The rupture of thin-cap fibroatheroma accounts for most acute coronary events. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) allows quantification of fibrous cap (FC) thickness in vivo. Conventional manual analysis, by visually determining the thinnest part of the FC is subject to inter-observer variability and does not capture the 3-D morphology of the FC. We propose and validate a computer-aided method ...
