Overview

OCT may aid plaque characterization and PCI optimization; leaves open need for randomized outcome trials.

Structured PICO

I
Intervention
Intravascular optical coherence tomography (OCT)

OCT is a valuable high-resolution imaging tool for assessing coronary plaque pathobiology and optimizing percutaneous coronary intervention.

Limitations

  • OCT-guided PCI has not yet been shown to be superior to IVUS-guided or angiography-guided PCI regarding long-term outcomes.
  • Current OCT systems cannot image the detachment of endothelial cells to definitively diagnose plaque erosion.

Cite This Study

Sugiyama et al. (2017) conducted a review in Coronary artery disease. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) vs. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) or angiography was evaluated. Optical coherence tomography provides high-resolution in vivo characterization of coronary plaque pathology and assists in optimizing percutaneous coronary intervention.
