On Thursday 27 March at 15:00, Omeed Neghabat defends his PhD dissertation entitled "Optical Coherence Tomography in Bifurcation PCI".
This PhD study explores how advanced imaging can improve stent procedures for patients with complex coronary artery disease. The study, based on the OCTOBER trial, examines the role of optical coherence tomography (OCT) — a newer high-resolution imaging technique — in guiding these procedures compared to traditional X-ray-based methods.
The aims are to understand why some stent procedures fail, assess how well OCT guidance is followed in clinical practice, and determine whether traditional imaging techniques can provide equally reliable results. By addressing these questions, the study seeks to refine treatment strategies, improve procedural accuracy, and ultimately enhance patient outcomes.
The findings may help optimize the use of OCT in daily clinical practice, ensuring that heart patients receive safer and more effective treatments.
The summary is written by the PhD student.
The defence is public and takes place in auditorium G206-145, Aarhus University Hospital. Please see the press release for more information.
