Using optimal coherence tomography (OCT) to guide stent implantation during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with complex coronary lesions significantly improves survival and ...
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation is superior to traditional angiography-guided DES implantation in reducing target vessel failure (TVF), a new analysis ...
Both the angiogram and angioplasty are useful tools when diagnosing and treating blockages and other heart issues. Both procedures are performed on an outpatient basis and are minimally invasive. If ...
WASHINGTON, DC—A three-way comparison of optical coherence tomography (OCT), intravascular ultrasound, and angiography has come up with mixed results when it comes to choosing the best imaging ...
Angiography has limitations that make it difficult to determine the true artery size and the makeup of the plaque, and is suboptimal in determining whether the stent is fully expanded post-PCI and ...
Cardiovascular diseases remain one of the leading causes of illness and mortality worldwide. When heart-related symptoms arise, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or unexplained fatigue, medical ...
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, ...
A new study could lead to more widespread use of imaging technique to improve survival and prevent complications. Using intravascular imaging (IVI) to guide stent implantation during complex stenting ...
