A 59 year-old man is admitted in our institution for a first STEMI

His medical history includes a previous ischemic stroke with residual hemiplegia, dyslipidemia and previous smoking.

The diagnosis is made by mobile care unit physicians at H4 . Initial EKG depict ST elevation in the anterior leads. The patient is referred to our cath lab for emergent coronary angiography Cliquez pour voir plus :: Click to see more CASE OF THE MONTH : JANUARY

Mechanisms of stent thrombosis analysed by optical coherence tomography: insights from the national PESTO French registry

na1
Aims: angiography has limited value for identifying the causes of stent thrombosis (ST). We studied a large cohort of patients by optical coherence tomography (OCT) to explore ST characteristics and mechanisms.

Imagerie endocoronaire par cohérence optique : OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) ou OFDI (Optical Frequency Domain Imaging)

La tomographie par cohérence optique (OCT pour Optical Coherence Tomography) est une imagerie endocoronaire de très haute résolution (10 microns) susceptible de résoudre des ambiguïtés morphologiques rencontrées en Cardiologie Interventionnelle.

Nous proposons dans ce document une revue d’images OCT de dernière génération … Cliquez pour voir plus :: Click to see more LE FROG SPECIAL – Atlas d’imagerie OCT
