TCT 2020 | Using OCT to Detect Vulnerable Plaque even with Negative FFR

TCT 2020 | Using OCT to Detect Vulnerable Plaque even with Negative FFR

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has proven useful in diabetic patients, even those with negative FFR.  These findings make us rethink the ischemia and functional revascularization paradigm vs. the anatomical findings of vulnerable plaque.  Diabetic patients with lesions that might be deferred base don FFR might benefit from OCT to find in these plaques certain risk
