Many cardiologists are not familiar with image interpretation and don’t have enough background/knowledge to use the information in clinical practice. This book will be designed for busy interventional cardiologists to become quickly familiar with this emerging technology so that they can take advantage of its power improve patient care and outcome. History of OCT.- Physics of OCT.- Histology validation of OCT images.- Characterization of coronary plaques.- Basic interpretation skill.- Early stent evaluation.- Late stent changes.- Bioabsorbable stent.- Stent thrombosis.- Neoatherosclerosis.- Consensus document.- Future development.
