Optical coherence tomography evaluating the culprit coronary lesion
We present a case in which a 64-year-old man was suffering from accelerated angina for 1 week. Conventional coronary angiography and intravascular ultrasound were unable to detect the culprit coronary lesion. However, optical coherence tomography (OCT) obtained superior images to detect a rupture wi...

| description | We present a case in which a 64-year-old man was suffering from accelerated angina for 1 week. Conventional coronary angiography and intravascular ultrasound were unable to detect the culprit coronary lesion. However, optical coherence tomography (OCT) obtained superior images to detect a rupture with thin-cap fibroatheroma plaque in the proximal right coronary artery. The symptom of angina disappeared after one coronary stent covering the ruptured plaque. This case indicates that OCT is a new intravascular imaging modality that allows clear visualization of vulnerable plaques. |
