Intracoronary Optical Coherence Tomography: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract: Cardiovascular optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a catheter-based invasive imaging system. Using light rather than ultrasound, OCT produces high-resolution in vivo images of coronary arteries and deployed stents. This comprehensive review will assist practicing interventional cardiologists in understanding the technical aspects of OCT based upon the physics of light and will also highlight the emerging research and clinical applications of OCT. Semi-automated imaging analyses of OCT systems permit accurate… Show more

“…Neointimal thickness was calculated by subtracting the luminal cross-sectional areas from the stent. The strut appearance and coverage was qualified as embedded, protruding covered, protruding uncovered and malapposed according to previously described definitions [15,16].…”

“…The inclusion criterion for the study was angiographically documented restenosis (≥50% diameter stenosis) with a DES (SES and PES) or BMS that necessitated referral for target lesion revascularization (TLR) with monitoring by OCT. The exclusion criteria were: (a) left main coronary artery disease, (b) target artery not anatomically suitable for OCT, 23 such as an ostial, severely tortuous or heavily calcified lesion, (c) congestive heart failure, (d) renal insufficiency, (e) contraindication for antiplatelet therapy, and (f) a lesion in which a preprocedural OCT examination had not been performed. During this period, OCT was performed if written informed consent was given by the patient.…”

“…1) The Z-offset also plays an important role in the accurate measurement and reproducibility of OCT. A 1% change in the magnitude of the ideal Z-offset resulted in a 12-14% error in area measurements by OCT. 19) A clinical study examined the inter-and intraobserver reproducibility of quantitative FD-OCT measurements.…”
