Optical coherence tomography image acquisition was found to be safe, effective, and to provide valuable information about plaque morphology and stent-vessel interactions. The role of perioperative anticoagulation after stenting should be re-evaluated given the new findings. A study comparing CAS with and without OCT with a clinical primary outcome such as ipsilateral stroke could help determine if OCT is an innovative tool to guide stenting and antithrombotic management.
