In the most recent recommendations of the European Society of Cardiology and European Association of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, both Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) are classified as class IIa for procedural optimization. In a comparison of OCT and IVUS measurement in the phantom model, OCT data corresponded to the real lumen area of the model, but IVUS readings were inflated and less repeatable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
