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...

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 intervention and who required early discontinuation of antiplatelet therapy because of major bleeding.
