Heparinized saline flushing provides comparable vessel measurements to contrast media for OCT-guided percutaneous coronary intervention without safety concerns.
Does heparinized saline flushing provide comparable vessel measurements to contrast media during OCT-guided PCI?
Heparinized saline is a feasible and safe alternative to contrast media for OCT-guided PCI, which may be particularly useful for patients at risk of contrast-induced nephropathy.
