Experience of stenting in the left main coronary artery using optical coherence tomography: A case-series

Over the past decade, optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging, with its high spatial resolution, has emerged as useful tool for planning percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and optimizing stent deployment, particularly in patients with complex lesions. However, there are limited reports of O...
