Abstract

Optical coherence tomography is a novel technique capable of studying coronary plaques and stented segments with superb resolution. Two consensus documents focused on the clinical applications of OCT for baseline or post-intervention assessment have been released. As the first goal of this chapter, we summarized the conclusion reached by the consensus documents, updating the statements that were made at that time, with new concepts.

The assessment of both atherosclerotic plaque and stent deployment using OCT, and the study of vessel healing require an extensive knowledge of the pertinent definitions. In all three published consensus documents, the authors tried to provide a complete list of definitions needed for conducting appropriate OCT based plaque and stent analyses.

However, researchers still continue to use different definitions especially in cases of plaque erosion and intra-stent thrombus. We first addressed the role of OCT in assessing coronary plaque morphology and vulnerability, then we focused on OCT guidance of coronary interventions.
