Precision Implantation with AI and Imaging
In 2026, the success of a DES is highly dependent on "optimal sizing," which is now guided by AI-enhanced Intravascular Imaging (OCT/IVS).
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): Provides a high-resolution "microscopic" view from inside the artery.
AI Analytics: Software now automatically calculates the exact length and diameter of the stent needed and ensures it is "fully apposed" (pressed firmly against the vessel wall), which is the single most important factor in preventing future blockages.
