Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is non-inferior to intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) for guiding percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), according to late breaking research presented in a Hot Line ...

ABBOTT PARK, Ill., Abbott today announced the initiation of a clinical trial evaluating long-term outcomes of patients who undergo stent implantation guided by high-resolution light-based imaging ...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides safe and improved guidance for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention to treat coronary artery disease, according to results from the ...

Abbott aims to build optical coherence tomography into a preferred tool for guiding the placement of stents that increase blood flow to the heart muscle. But a pair of major late-breaking studies ...

Clinical trial results from St Jude Medical have confirmed the potential importance of OCT as a means to guide surgeons carrying out percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures, a widening of ...

SAN FRANCISCO, CA—Among patients with complex coronary lesions, guiding PCI with either optical coherence tomography or intravascular ultrasound appears to yield similar results, according to a ...

US-based healthcare and medical device giant St Jude Medical has launched a new system based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging that is designed to improve the treatment of coronary artery ...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is usually performed using local anaesthesia. A guide wire and delivery sheath are introduced percutaneously into either the femoral or radial artery and passed into ...

SAN FRANCISCO -- Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was associated with fewer events down the line for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) candidates presenting with intermediate coronary lesions ...

This section describes safety outcomes from the published literature that the Committee considered as part of the evidence about this procedure. For more detailed information on the evidence, see the ...
