Abstract：Optical coherence tomography(OCT)has become an important imaging technology for the assessment of Coronary artery disease(CAD).This article reviews the current status of OCT in the diagnosis and treatment of CAD,including the identification and classification of coronary plaques,the assessment of coronary stenosis,the application in acute coronary syndrome,and comparisons with other imaging techniques.OCT has great value in guiding coronary interventional therapy,including imaging assessment before and after stent implantation,guiding and evaluating biodegradable stents,and guiding the treatment strategy of complex lesions.In addition,this article also introduces the new progress of OCT technology,such as intelligent analysis and multimodal imaging.OCT has important clinical value in the diagnosis and treatment of CAD.With the continuous development and application of technology,OCT is expected to provide more accurate diagnostic tools and treatment strategies for the management of cardiovascular diseases,thus improving the treatment effect and prognosis of patients.
