OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY (OCT)
OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY (OCT) is an advanced technique allowing Cardiologist to see the inside of an artery in 10 times more detail than Intravascular ultrasound technique. OCT is one of the most effective techniques used in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac diseases.
WHAT IS OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY (OCT) PROCEDURE
In OCT procedure, the near infrared light is used to create image of the inside of the Coronary Arteries. This OCT technique delivers very high resolution images to assess the severity of the coronary blockages for Angioplasty.
CLINICAL INDICATIONS OF OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY (OCT)
Delineation of Angiographically uncertain lesion
Evaluation for types of lesion & complexity
Evaluation of amount of calcium in the artery
Lesion assessment pre percutaneous coronary intervention
Stent deployment post percutaneous coronary intervention
To assess post stenting complications
APPLICATIONS OF OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY (OCT)
In-Stent Restenosis
Assessment of Calcified Lesions
Thrombosis
Stent Sizing
Stent Deployment &Malapposition
Stent Deployment & Edge Dissection
Bifurcation Lesion Evaluation
Bioabsorbable Scaffold
Decision Whether to Stent a Lesion or Not
ADVANTAGES OF OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY (OCT)
Decreases stent related complications
Helps in proper stent sizing
Can avoid stenting in younger patients especially those with thrombus but no blockages in acute heart attack
Decrease the chances of long term stent failure
Helps to know the cause of stent failure
