Optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides safe and improved guidance for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention to treat coronary artery disease, according to results from the ...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is non-inferior to intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) for guiding percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), according to late breaking research presented in a Hot Line ...

With respect to prevention of important clinical events, including cardiac death, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) under optical coherence tomography (OCT) guidance performs similarly to PCI ...

In patients with coronary bifurcation lesions, optical coherence tomography–guided PCI was associated with a lower incidence of major adverse cardiac events at a median 2 years of follow-up than ...

Integrating the reverse Aslanger pattern with Littmann’s continuity, the patient was diagnosed with a high lateral, high-risk, occlusive myocardial infarction. The patient immediately received dual ...
