Since optical coherence tomography (OCT) was first performed in humans two decades ago,
this imaging modality has been widely adopted in research on coronary atherosclerosis and …

Coronary angiography has historically served as the gold standard for diagnosis of coronary
artery disease and guidance of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Adjunctive use of …

Background Imaging-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with
better clinical outcomes than angiography-guided PCI. Whether routine optical coherence …
