Data regarding clinical outcomes after optical coherence tomography (OCT)–guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as compared with angiography-guided PCI are limited. In this prospective, ...

An “optical biopsy” of intravascular plaque during stenting is more effective at reducing the rate of restenosis or thrombosis in people with moderately or severely calcified lesions than angiography ...

STANFORD, Calif. — Doctors may be implanting too many artery-opening stents and could improve patient outcomes — and ultimately save lives — if they did more in-depth measurements of blood flow in the ...

Patients with complex coronary artery disease who underwent a stenting procedure guided by intravascular imaging were nearly 40% less likely to die of heart disease, have a heart attack caused by a ...

Using intravascular imaging (IVI) to guide stent implantation during complex stenting procedures is safer and more effective for patients with severely calcified coronary artery disease than ...
