TI  - The role of intravascular optical coherence tomography in peripheral percutaneous 
      interventions.
PG  - E51-3
AB  - Frequency domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT) is a new intravascular 
      imaging modality utilizing near-infrared light to generate high-quality images. 
      It provides a unique and detailed view of the vessel wall and vessel lumen. 
      FD-OCT has been increasingly used in coronary interventions; however, there is 
      limited experience regarding the use of FD-OCT in the evaluation and treatment of 
      peripheral arterial disease (PAD). We report three cases in which FD-OCT helped 
      elucidate and guide femoral artery interventions and renal artery stenting. With 
      the help of these cases, we depict how FD-OCT is uniquely positioned to be a 
      promising imaging tool in the diagnosis and treatment of peripheral artery 
      disease.
