<International Circulation>:What about the potential for combining IVUS with other technologies like OCT?

    Dr Patel: In our lab， we have started doing OCT studies and obviously here in Asia it is happening a lot more. My view of the future of intervention is that you will use IVUS to guide therapy and use OCT to manage and moderate how it has been done. When I see patients back in the lab and I go back in for complications， I understand it. OCT may obviously also help you on the edges.

  《国际循环》：IVUS与OCT等其他技术联合应用的前景如何？
    Patel教授：我所在的中心已经开展了OCT的研究，显然亚洲开展的研究更多。我对介入治疗未来的看法是，将来会应用IVUS来指导治疗，观察治疗的情况。有时患者会因为发生并发症而再次进入导管室。显然，OCT可能在这方面对我们有所帮助。

    <International Circulation>:Is there any data on DES in PCI for coronary stenotic lesion with distal aneurysm?

    Dr Patel:  There are observational reports from what we call malopposition or areas of aneurysm in studies， from some of the drug-eluting stent trials. In my view， and unless there is data that I am unaware of， there is no data that indicates that drug-eluting stents help in aneurysms.

  《国际循环》：对于合并远端动脉瘤的冠脉狭窄患者，有没有行PCI置入DES的数据？
    Patel教授：目前有来自观察性报告的数据，我们称之为贴壁不良或发生动脉瘤的区域，来自一些观察DES的试验。我认为，目前没有数据显示DES对动脉瘤有益，除非有些数据我不知道。
