Advantages and prospects of optical coherence tomography in interventional therapy of coronary heart disease (Review)

Abstract: Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of mortality among all diseases globally. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a key method for the treatment of coronary heart disease. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an optical diagnostic technology with a resolution of up to 10 µm, which is able to accurately assess the composition of the coronary arterial wall and determine the characteristics of atherosclerotic lesions. It is also highly consistent with pathological examinations, optimizing the eff… Show more

“…While OCT has a higher resolution than IVUS [ 17 ] and can accurately identify plaque components and microstructure, it is an invasive procedure with inevitable limitations such as high cost, and potential complication risks [ 5 ]. Therefore, effective biomarkers that can predict TP need to be explored.…”

“…OCT provides the highest resolution (1–15 μm) among current intravascular imaging technologies, enabling detailed exploration of microscopic vascular structures ( 18 ). In cardiovascular clinical applications, the significance of OCT encompasses: (1) Comprehensive plaque assessment: OCT provides detailed information about plaque size, type, and composition, aiding in understanding the total burden of atherosclerosis, not merely localized stenosis ( 19 ); (2) Vulnerable plaque identification: OCT can provide detailed views of potentially hazardous plaques by analyzing tissue characteristics, such as the size of the lipid core and the thickness of the fibrous cap ( 20 ); (3) Enhanced risk stratification: The detailed plaque and vascular information provided by OCT can help more accurately assess the risk of cardiovascular events, thus improving the accuracy of risk stratification ( 21 ); (4) Complementing traditional imaging techniques: By offering direct observation of vessel walls and plaques, OCT supplements the limitations of traditional imaging methods, providing a more comprehensive cardiovascular health assessment ( 22 ). Thus, OCT is not only a potent diagnostic tool but also adds a new dimension to the risk assessment and management of cardiovascular diseases.…”

“…If our heart muscles contract as a consequence of an accumulation of atheroma, the blood supply to the muscle fibers will be limited. This might cause angina chest symptoms, and a blocked coronary artery could cause a heart attack [2]- [4]. According to the "World Health Organization (WHO) ", 18.9 million people worldwide die from heart-related disorders each year, accounting for 42% of all fatalities.…”
