Saki Iwai,Makoto Watanabe,Akihiko Okamura,Atsushi Kyodo,Kazutaka Nogi,Daisuke Kamon,Yukihiro Hashimoto,Tomoya Ueda,Tsunenari Soeda,Hiroyuki Okura,Yoshihiko Saito +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the prognostic impact of calcified plaque morphology in patients with coronary artery calcification who underwent newer-generation drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of myocardial bridge by optical coherence tomography
Akihiko Okamura,Hiroyuki Okura,Saki Iwai,Atsushi Kyodo,Daisuke Kamon,Yukihiro Hashimoto,Tomoya Ueda,Tsunenari Soeda,Makoto Watanabe,Yoshihiko Saito +9 more
TL;DR: MB is frequently detected as intermediate intensity, fine layer by OCT during systole, vessel and lumen size decrease with increased medial thickness, and should be careful for OCT interpretation of the coronary arteries with MB.
Journal ArticleDOI
Usefulness of longitudinal reconstructed optical coherence tomography images for predicting the need for the reverse wire technique during coronary bifurcation interventions
Makoto Watanabe,Hiroyuki Okura,Akihiko Okamura,Saki Iwai,Ayaka Keshi,Daisuke Kamon,Takuya Isojima,Tomoya Ueda,Tsunenari Soeda,Yoshihiko Saito +9 more
TL;DR: The aim is to investigate the usefulness of longitudinal reconstructed optical coherence tomography images in selecting the reverse wire (RW) technique for inserting a guidewire into a side branch (SB).
Journal ArticleDOI
Post-Stent Optical Coherence Tomography Findings at Index Percutaneous Coronary Intervention ― Characteristics Related to Subsequent Stent Thrombosis ―
Atsushi Kyodo,Makoto Watanabe,Akihiko Okamura,Saki Iwai,Azusa Sakagami,Kazutaka Nogi,Daisuke Kamon,Yukihiro Hashimoto,Tomoya Ueda,Tsunenari Soeda,Hiroyuki Okura,Yoshihiko Saito +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the ST-related characteristics of post-stent OCT findings at index percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in 15 patients with ST onset after OCT-guided PCI (ST group) were retrospectively enrolled.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incidence and prognostic impact of the calcified nodule in coronary artery disease patients with end-stage renal disease on dialysis
Akihiko Okamura,Hiroyuki Okura,Saki Iwai,Azusa Sakagami,Daisuke Kamon,Yukihiro Hashimoto,Tomoya Ueda,Tsunenari Soeda,Makoto Watanabe,Yoshihiko Saito +9 more
TL;DR: In conclusion, CN was observed in about 60% of the CAD patients with ESRD and was associated with duration of dialysis and worse prognosis, and Kaplan–Meier survival analysis revealed that MACE-free survival was significantly lower in patients with CN compared with those without CN.
