title: Pitfalls of angiography in the assessment of atherosclerosis: the role of optical coherence tomography.
abstract: We report the case of a patient presenting with unstable angina, in whom information obtained by coronary angiography was inconclusive for the existence of a culprit lesion in the ostium of the right coronary artery. The use of optical coherence tomography was required for proper lesion assessment.
