Optical Coherence Tomography Facilitating Early Withdrawal of Antiplatelet Agents in a High–Bleeding Risk Patient

Optical Coherence Tomography Facilitating Early Withdrawal of Antiplatelet Agents in a High–Bleeding Risk Patient

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) can guide percutaneous coronary interventions to optimize results, thus minimizing the risk of stent thrombosis. We present the case of a cancer patient, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, and unstable angina who underwent OCT–guided complex percutaneous coronary inte...
