Optical Coherence Tomography in STEMI

May 31, 2016 updated by: National Heart Centre Singapore

Plaque Evaluation by Optical Coherence Tomography and Its Association With Microvascular Obstruction in Reperfused STEMI Patients - The POMS Study

The overall objective of this research proposal is to use OCT to investigate those morphological culprit plaque characteristics associated with the risk of developing MVO in reperfused STEMI patients.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The specific research objectives include:

  1. To use OCT to determine the type of plaque (plaque rupture, plaque erosion or calcified nodule) most associated with the presence and severity of MVO (as measured by IMR and cardiac MRI).
  2. To use OCT to investigate the relationship between the extent of tissue protrusion and the amount of residual stent thrombus with the presence and severity of MVO (as measured by IMR and cardiac MRI).
