Predictors and Outcomes of Side-Branch Occlusion in Coronary Chronic Total Occlusion Interventions

The impact of contrast type on coronary imaging using optical coherence tomography (OCT) has received limited study. We compared OCT imaging obtained using the non-ionic, iso-osmolar iodixanol with the ionic, low-osmolar ioxaglate.

The impact of contrast type on...
