Optical Coherence Tomography-guided Intervention in STEMI Patients with Normal Looking Coronaries

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an increasingly available intracoronary imaging modality that provides highresolution imaging of coronary arteries and guides operators in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) by accurately defining luminal geometry and detailed plaque composition. The two c...

Description
Summary:	Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an increasingly available intracoronary imaging modality that provides highresolution imaging of coronary arteries and guides operators in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) by accurately defining luminal geometry and detailed plaque composition. The two cases under discussion in this report, presented with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with angiography showing minor narrowing (<30%) with TIMI III flow in which OCT-guided approach was used regarding the management owing to its improved temporal and axial resolution, thus providing proper plaque assessment and subsequent proper management.
