First case of stenting of a vulnerable plaque in the SECRITT I trial—the dawn of a new era?

Ramcharitar et al. describe the first case treated in the SECRITT I trial. The 63-year-old man presented with class II anginal symptoms and was diagnosed as having a culprit lesion in the left circumflex artery and a vulnerable plaque in the left anterior descending artery. The vulnerable plaque was treated with a self-expanding stent tailored to shield this type of plaque.

Photonics in cardiovascular medicine

The use of photonics technology is bringing new capabilities and insights to cardiovascular medicine. Intracoronary imaging and sensing, laser ablation and optical pacing are just some of the functions being explored to help diagnose and treat conditions of the heart and arteries.

Optical coherence tomography in coronary atherosclerosis assessment and intervention

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been widely adopted in research on coronary atherosclerosis and adopted clinically to optimize percutaneous coronary intervention. In this Review, Jang and colleagues summarize this rapidly progressing field, with the aim of standardizing the use of OCT in coronary atherosclerosis.
