Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>Enhanced Stent Imaging (ESI) refers to a rapidly evolving class of imaging tools that seek to provide enhanced visualization of coronary stent architecture with minimal disruption to the catheterization laboratory workflow. Various ESI stent platforms are available, all of which utilize a brief cine acquisition of a deflated balloon within a stent to generate a motion‐corrected, enhanced image of the stent. The enhanced image permits detailed assessment of stent architecture, integrity, and positioning relative to other stents. We present two illustrative cases of percutaneous coronary intervention utilizing a new ESI platform. The relevant literature is briefly reviewed.© 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.</p> </abstract>
