Interventional technologies in the field of Cardiology have changed the way diseases are diagnosed and treated. Interventional Cardiologists are faced with challenging situations every day with decision-making in terms of whether to proceed with stenting or surgery, ascertaining the correct stent placement, especially in case of multivessel disease, calcified lesions, long blockages, edge dissection as well as need for revascularization in intermediate lesion.

Newer technologies, like OCT, are a great help in planning of interventional strategies and optimization before and after the stent deployment, particularly with complex diseases. New age imaging tools help improve patient outcomes by limiting geographic misses, stent malapposition, under-expansion, etc., thus translating into better long-term clinical results.
