“…Confirmation of complete stent apposition to the arterial wall immediately after deployment is important to reduce the incidence of late stent thrombosis [2]. Intravascular Optical Coherence Tomography (IVOCT) is a recently developed imaging modality with high axial resolution (5-15 μm) and sufficient tissue penetration depth of 1.5-2.0 mm to allow stent apposition assessment [3][4][5][6][7]. Although IVOCT does not penetrate tissue as deep as intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), finer image resolution of one order-of-magnitude allows IVOCT to provide stent apposition information that IVUS cannot offer and therefore gives IVOCT an important advantage.…”

Effect of beam size and catheter position on the apparent size and apposition of metallic stent struts in IVOCT images were examined. Micro-CT data was employed to determine light -stent strut interactions. Simulated results suggest that location of the reflecting regions depend on relative orientation and position of stent struts to the IVOCT beam. Erroneous stent apposition measurements can occur when the IVOCT catheter is at an eccentric position. A method that mitigates stent strut apposition measurement errors is proposed.
