Abstract

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging provides high resolution assessment of coronary parietal and endoluminal abnormalities. Clinical evidence and intuitive utilization make this tool relevant for use in daily practice in the catheterization laboratory. In the present review, we summarize the benefits of OCT for the optimization of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in daily practice. First, we focus on the characterization of lesion type with a view to anticipating challenges during PCI. Then, we describe the utility of OCT to identify culprit lesions and ambiguous angiographic findings. Finally, we outline targets for optimization after PCI and the mechanisms underlying stent failure.
