Poststent balloon dilation significantly increases the risk of coronary artery rupture and intramural hematoma formation, which can be precisely assessed using optical coherence tomography.
OCT is a valuable high-resolution intravascular imaging modality for the precise assessment and management of coronary artery rupture and pseudo-aneurysm complications.
Poststent balloon dilation significantly increases the risk of coronary artery rupture and intramural hematoma formation. OCT provides high-resolution intravascular imaging that enables precise assessment of vessel pathology and facilitates individualized treatment strategies for optimal patient outcomes.
Li et al. (2026) studied this question. Poststent balloon dilation significantly increases the risk of coronary artery rupture and intramural hematoma formation, which can be precisely assessed using optical coherence tomography.
