Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an emerging intravascular imaging modality, which allows to visualize the coronary pathophysiology in vivo with unprecedented detail and clarity almost comparable to histology. While many hundreds of studies have been published utilizing coronary artery OCT, very few have focused on its application in day-to-day clinical practice.
The cardiac catheterization laboratory at the Mount Sinai Hospital in New York is proud to share best practices for improving outcomes in complex coronary cases. We conduct teaching classes every day, use webcasts for live cases watched across the world by more than 6000 cardiologists once every month, and hold two large symposia every year to help drive best practices among interventional cardiologists and fellows of the catheterization laboratory. OCT is being evaluated as a promising intravascular imaging modality that may contribute immensely to niche areas in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and clinical trials.
