The Role of Optical Coherence Tomography in Guiding Percutaneous Coronary Interventions: A Comparative Study

Abstract

Isaac de Vries

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is an advanced imaging technique that uses light waves to capture high-resolution, cross-sectional images of coronary arteries. Over the past decade, OCT has gained significant attention in the field of interventional cardiology due to its superior imaging resolution compared to traditional modalities like Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) and angiography.
