Medical - Medical: Cardiology / Angiography / Stenting
Spanish term or phrase: OCT
The following appears in a hosptal discharge summary for a patient with acute coronary syndrome/myocardial infarction (The hospital location is not indicated but I believe it is Madrid, Spain.):

Cx: EBU 3.5 y guía BMW a CD distal. Se predilata la lesión con balón 2.50 y se implanta stent farmacoactivo 3.00 x 24 mm a 16 atm con postdilatación de parte proximal del stent con balón NC de 3.50 mm hasta 24 atm.
A continuación se realiza OCT final.

I am unable to determine what "OCT" is intended to indicate in this context. Can anyone help?

Cheers,
John
