Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is an intravascular imaging modality that uses near-infrared light to provide high-definition, cross-sectional and three-dimensional images of the vessel microstructure during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

OCT imaging can be used pre and post-PCI (percutaneous coronary interventions) to guide treatment decisions. Learn more about OCT.

The largest impact of OCT-guided assessment over angiography was observed prior to stenting, in pre-PCI OCT or MLD steps. 1 These steps involve morphology assessment (M), stent sizing (L&D) and vessel preparation, key decisions which may influence final stent expansion.

2023年8月27日 · Ultreon™ Software, the latest OCT offering from Abbott, is the only intracoronary imaging solution on the market powered by artificial intelligence, guiding stents to be placed with precision. This leading technology provides enhanced views of coronary anatomy and blockages to help support physicians’ decision-making in real time.

2020年6月26日 · The new data provides strong evidence of the value of using OCT for decision-making within the PCI procedure. Initial data found: OCT changes angiographic-based decisions in 88% of lesions.

2021年6月11日 · Multiple intracoronary imaging OCT systems have been developed. Currently, the two systems most employed are the OPTIS™ system (Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA, USA), which also provides combined angiographic and OCT visualisation (co-registration), and the Lunawave® system (Terumo, Tokyo, Japan).

2021年8月5日 · Abbott's new interventional imaging platform powered by Ultreon 1.0 Software is a first-of-its-kind imaging software merges optical coherence tomography (OCT) intravascular imaging with the power of artificial intelligence (AI) for enhanced visualization.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT), an established intravascular imaging technique, enables rapid acquisition of high-resolution images during invasive coronary procedures to assist physician decision-making.

2023年8月30日 · 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...

The AHA/ACC 2021 Guidelines for use of intravascular imaging were updated and now recommend OCT imaging to guide stent implantation and to determine mechanism of stent underexpansion. 11 Clinical Evidence in Detail
