OCT ImagingOptical Coherence Tomography

An advanced, high-definition intracoronary imaging technology utilizing near-infrared light waves to map the interior structure of blockages and ensure perfect stent sizing.

What is Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)?

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is an advanced, high-resolution diagnostic imaging technique executed directly within the coronary arteries during cardiac catheterization. By utilizing near-infrared light waves rather than ultrasound sound waves, OCT generates cross-sectional images of the arterial lumen with exceptional microscopic clarity. This allows senior interventional cardiologists to inspect plaque characteristics and verify proper stent expansion.

IMAGING OUTLINE

Why OCT is Important for Angioplasty

Ten-Times Higher ResolutionEmploys near-infrared light waves to produce micron-level detail images, offering 10x higher resolution than traditional IVUS ultrasound.
Precision Vessel & Plaque SizingAccurately quantifies the exact length and diameter of coronary blockages, enabling perfect selection of stent dimensions.
Vulnerable Plaque IdentificationAllows mapping of the internal structure of plaque deposits to differentiate stable calcification from soft, rupture-prone plaque.
Stent Placement OptimizationVerifies correct expansion and seating (apposition) of the stent mesh against the arterial walls to prevent post-procedural failures.
Micro-Dissection & Tear DetectionPinpoints subtle structural tissue dissections, tears, or blood clots inside the artery that angiography might miss completely.
IMAGING METRICS

Key Benefits

How It Is DoneA micro-sized imaging wire catheter is threaded over the angioplasty guidewire to scan the vessels.
Stent AssessmentChecks for stent under-expansion, edge dissections, or poor apposition.
Clinical ValueAllows the physician to visualize arterial blockages with microscopic clarity for PCI optimization.

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Subhash. My father's Coronary Calcium score was way too high but he was asymptomatic. Dr. explained everything in very detail and went above and beyond to do the very best he could. He checked all the alternatives available and advised us the best. He answered all the doubts I had and made it very clear for us what next steps should be taken.
