2. Clinical relevance of DES implantation problems highlighted by OCT remains unclear

   Cardiovascularbusiness.com (Oct 3 2008) Cardiology Explore Article

   In a first study of its kind, researchers in Japan using serial optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging found that patients with unstable and stable angina have markedly different vascular responses to drug-eluting stents, and that those with unstable angina have greater risk of certain complications. The findings, however, were not associated with adverse outcomes in patients taking dual-antiplatelet therapy. While sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) reduce the need for target-vessel revascularization, they ... (Read Full Article)

3. Safety and Usefulness of Non-Occlusion Image Acquisition Technique for Optical Coherence Tomography

   jstage.jst.go.jp (Sep 1 2008) Cardiology Explore Article

   Background Because optical coherence tomography (OCT) requires balloon-occlusion to overcome image attenuation by blood, the present study investigated the safety and usefulness of a new non-occlusive technique. Methods and Results The 40 angina patients were assigned to the continuous-flushing method or the balloon-occlusion method group. The continuous-flushing method was superior for observing proximal lesions compared with the balloon-occlusion method (94% vs 55%, p=0.01). There were no differences between groups in ...

5. In-vivo characterisation of coronary atherosclerosis with optical coherence tomography

   mja.com.au (Jun 16 2008) Cardiology Explore Article

   The burden of atherosclerosis has triggered intense interest in the study of “vulnerable” plaques at high risk of rupture. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has recently contributed to the in-vivo visualisation of plaque, providing unique insights into the atherosclerotic process, previously only attainable through postmortem examination. This technique uses near infrared light and an optical imaging wire attached to a patient interface unit with a pullback speed of up to 3.0 ... (Read Full Article)

6. Optical Coherence Tomography for Drug Eluting Stent Safety (ODESSA)

   Home - ClinicalTrials.gov (Jun 8 2008) Cardiology Explore Article

   Increasing lesion complexity in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) has warranted the use of overlapping drug-eluting stents. Whether the substantial impairment of arterial healing observed at sites of overlap in preclinical pathologic studies persists in patients undergoing PCI is unknown. Consecutive patients with long lesions in native coronary vessels requiring stents in overlap are prospectively randomized to receive multiple sirolimus-,paclitaxel polymer-or zotarolimus eluting stents (Read Full Article)
