Feasibility and safety of non-contrast optical coherence tomography imaging using hydroxyethyl starch in coronary arteries

Abstract Intracoronary optical coherence tomography (OCT) requires injection of flushing media for image acquisition. Alternative flushing media needs to be investigated to reduce the risk of contrast-induced renal dysfunction. We investigated the feasibility and safety of pentastarch (hydroxyethyl...
