We established a standardized protocol to consistently obtain OCT images that helped guide interventional decision-making during CAS. OCT imaging in the carotids requires a higher contrast load and prolongs procedure time. However, it can be performed without significant increases in fluoroscopy time or negatively affecting renal function. There were no negative safety signals in this pilot study.
