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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
The use of noninvasive imaging (magnetic resonance angiography or computed tomographic angiography) should be individualized. Prior to the stent procedure, a complete evaluation of the aortic arch as ...
