“…96 The intracoronary route is far preferable clinically, especially in the setting of recent reperfusion when the heart can be particularly susceptible to ventricular arrhythmias. 97 Thus, CDCs, which are effective after intracoronary delivery (Figures 1 and 2, and references 55–57 ), continue to be the prime therapeutic candidate for reducing infarct size translationally, as discussed further below.…”

For >4 decades, the holy grail in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction has been the mitigation of lethal injury. Despite promising initial results and decades of investigation by the cardiology research community, the only treatment with proven efficacy is early reperfusion of the occluded coronary artery. The remarkable record of failure has led us and others to wonder if cardioprotection is dead. The path to translation, like the ascent to Everest, is certainly littered with corpses. We do, however, highlight a therapeutic principle that provides a glimmer of hope: cellular postconditioning. Administration of cardiosphere-derived cells after reperfusion limits infarct size measured acutely, while providing long-term structural and functional benefits. The recognition that cell therapy may be cardioprotective, and not just regenerative, merits further exploration before we abandon the pursuit entirely.

The application of optical coherence tomography to the cardiovascular system has led to intense interest, both clinically and also on the research front. Based on sound optical physics, intracoronary, in vivo imaging with high resolution (approximately 15 microm) has given unique insights into not only atherosclerotic plaques but also the tissue responses underlying stent implantation. This article will introduce the application of optical coherence tomography technology to coronary arteries, with particular reference to the evaluation of stents, and will also give a glimpse into current and future developments that will see optical coherence tomography remain a key tool in the armamentarium of researchers and interventional cardiologists alike.

REVIEWOptical coherence tomography (OCT) has offered a greater understanding of coronary atherosclerosis with the ability to visualize plaque and quantify the thin, fibrous cap. Furthermore, OCT is able to traverse many of the limitations of angiography and intravascular ultrasound when imaging coronary stents in vivo. These applications are as a result of the use of near-infrared light, permitting an almost 'histological' resolution of the coronary artery. Novel developments with faster OCT pullback speeds (up to 20 mm/s with the next generation Fourier-domain systems) will further simplify the procedural requirements, meaning that the use of a proximal occlusion balloon is eliminated. Hence, OCT is, and will continue to be a unique imaging modality that is able to help improve our understanding of the atherosclerotic process and shed light on the all important interaction between coronary stents and the vessel wall.KEYWORDS: atherosclerosis n coronary artery n optical coherence tomography n stent
