Guide PCI Planning and Treatment Decisions With Intravascular Imaging

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is an intravascular imaging modality that uses near-infrared light to provide high-definition, cross-sectional and three-dimensional images of the vessel microstructure.

OCT provides automated, accurate measurements to help guide stent selection, placement and deployment.¹ OCT reduces ambiguities impacting vessel prep, stent sizing and expansion to deliver optimal results.²

Intravascular imaging with OCT is performed using Ultreon™ Software, the Dragonfly OpStar™ Imaging Catheter, and the OPTIS™ Next Imaging Systems.
