Assessment of coronary stent by optical coherence tomography, methodology and definitions

Optical coherence tomography has emerged as a powerful tool for stent assessment, and in a short time, has become the modality of choice for studying stent and vascular interactions in vivo. In this review, we discuss qualitative and quantitative parameters used for stent assessment by OCT. Various qualitative/quantitative variables of stent assessment are discussed in the perspective of the clinical and research values of each of them.
