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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
