IntroductionIntravascular optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-contact, light-based high-resolution imaging device for plaque characterization, which provides additional morphological information beyond intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) images.
OCT Imaging System
OCT (Image Wire, Light-lab Imaging, Goodman, Co, Ltd, Nagoya)
Methodsprobe interface unit withauto pull-back system
9 Fr guiding catheterwith a balloon forCCA occlusion
Guardwire for ECA occlusion
Since OCT is approved only for coronary arteries in Japan, its use for human carotid arteries was approved by our institutional ethics committee (No. 21-108), and the study was registered on the internet (UMIN 000002808).

The patient presented with temporary lt. hemiparesis.
Just before stenting, plaque shape was changed.So, we performed OCT and IVUS first.

Discussion• I this study, OCT examination was performed safely without
any complication. • The typical OCT image has an axial resolution of 10 µm, which
is 10 times higher than those of other clinical imaging.• Thrombus, fibrous cap rupture and postoperative plaque
protrusion could be detected by OCT examination, which were hard to be obtained by other methods.
Conclusions:
• The present study suggested that OCT might be useful to investigate the carotid artery stenosis.
• One of the important limitations of OCT is degree of tissue penetration.
• Then, combination of OCT and VH-IVUS may be a good way to evaluate total plaque morphology.
