The use of optical coherence tomography in acute coronary syndrome
- Interní kardiologická klinika FN a LF MU Brno
Acute coronary syndrome as an acute form of coronary artery disease is one of the most important causes of patient morbidity and mortality. Its most effective treatment method is percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) routinely using angiographic imaging. Currently, the most accurate assessment of coronary artery morphology is provided by optical coherence tomography (OCT), an intravascular imaging technique. The main application of OCT has been shifting from mostly scientific use to almost routine practice in recent years, particularly in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Optical coherence tomography is, except for a few limitations, one of unbeatable imaging methods with respect to image resolution and the amount of information obtained. First data have been available suggesting a patient benefit from the use of OCT in interventional treatment of patients with acute myocardial infarction. The paper provides an overview of the use of OCT, especially in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
