Abstract

Coronary angiography alone is often insufficient in the evaluation of coronary artery disease (CAD). In certain scenarios, more information is required before and after percutaneous coronary revascularization (PCI). Determination of degree of calcification may be important to determine if further vessel modification is required with either higher pressure non-compliant balloons and/or mechanical rotablation atherectomy. Longer stent length may be necessary if there is lipid rich plaque at the margins of the lesion being treated. Ambiguities of angiography may need to be further delineated prior to committing to PCI. After PCI, determination of stent results maybe suboptimal with angiography alone with significant limitations involving stent malapposition or underexpansion, proximal or distal dissections, and angiographic haziness due to clot or tissue prolapse. This chapter will highlight the role of OCT in coronary artery disease and intervention.
