Abstract
OCT is a new promising imaging modality allowing better definition of the surface morphology of coronary lesions and largely improved assessment of the immediate and late outcomes of coronary interventions. Further studies are needed to define the role of this atraumatic high-precision technology in clinical practice and particularly in guidance and follow-up of coronary interventions.
