Novel OCT Flushing Technique for Complex Scenarios: Imaging During Iatrogenic Transient AV Block Induced by Intracoronary Adenosine
10/27/2014
We report the application of a novel optical coherence tomography (OCT) flushing technique where OCT run was performed during transient complete atrioventricular block induced by intracoronary bolus of adenosine.
