光学相干断层扫描（OCT）最近被提出作为高分辨率成像方法。我们的男性患者，曾接受过冠状动脉支架治疗，死于急性白血病。死后使用血管内超声（IVUS）和OCT获得冠状动脉图像。我们还比较了组织病理学检查与IVUS和OCT评估的支架植入后新生内膜形成的图像。OCT显示了IVUS无法完全显示的贴壁良好的支架支柱和新生内膜形成。OCT可用于监测支架植入后的结构变化。
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has recently been proposed as a high-resolution imaging method. Our male patient, who had been treated with a coronary stent, died due to acute leukemia. Coronary artery images using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and OCT were obtained postmortem. We also compared the image of neointima formation after stent implantation evaluated by histopathological examination with that evaluated by IVUS and OCT. OCT visualized well-apposed stent Struts and neointima formation, Which Could not be Visualized completely by IVUS. OCT may be useful for monitoring structural changes after stent implantation.
