  ABSTRACT: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) offers unique advantages as a high-resolution real-time imaging tool for interventional therapies. It can be used to assess the characteristics of vascular and stents, guide interventional treatments, and provide clinicians with complete real-time imaging, all of which can improve surgical safety and efficacy. OCT is widely used in percutaneous coronary interventions with favorable outcomes. However, its application in peripheral vascular treatment is relatively limited, and sufficient trials to provide adequate clinical evidence to support its functionality are lacking. In this review, we outline the fundamental principles of OCT and discuss its potential use in interventions of the peripheral arteries, providing information for future research in this domain.
