PARIS, France—Patients with calcified lesions undergoing PCI can benefit from an OCT-based strategy for lesion preparation and stent optimization, achieving greater minimum stent area (MSA) than with ...
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am 68 and in good shape; I work out daily. I had a few episodes of angina two to three years ago and started going to a cardiologist as a result. I have had quite a few tests done, ...
An “optical biopsy” of intravascular plaque during stenting is more effective at reducing the rate of restenosis or thrombosis in people with moderately or severely calcified lesions than angiography ...
