OCT identifies heart patients who can forgo stenting

As many as one-fourth of heart attack patients who would normally have a stent implanted can forgo the procedure in favor of conservative management based on the results of optical coherence tomography (OCT), concluded U.S. researchers in a presentation at the European Society of Cardiology congress (ESC 2016) in Rome.

ESC: CT is effective gatekeeper for invasive angio

In stable patients with chest pain and suspected coronary artery disease, using coronary CT angiography to guide the selective use of invasive coronary angiography is safer and less expensive than sending patients directly to angiography, according to results presented on Monday at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) congress in Rome.
