How the latest innovations in OCT help us improve PCI

Supported by an unrestricted grant from Abbott

Summary

In this discussion, Thomas Johnson, Nieves Gonzalo and Simone Biscaglia explore the latest advances with Ultreon 3.0, a new platform that integrates OCT imaging and physiology into a single workflow for PCI guidance. They highlight how faster pullback and reduced contrast volume can expand access to intracoronary imaging, while automated co-registration simplifies real-time navigation.

The addition of AI-driven tissue characterisation and OCT-derived FFR offers a more comprehensive understanding of coronary disease, supporting improved lesion assessment, stent planning, and post-PCI optimisation, ultimately aiming to deliver more precise and durable patient outcomes.
