Abstract

Data regarding clinical outcomes after optical coherence tomography (OCT)–guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as compared with angiography-guided PCI are limited. Download a PDF of the Research Summary. In this prospective, randomized, single-blind trial, we randomly assigned patients with medication-treated diabetes or complex coronary-artery lesions to undergo OCT-guided PCI or angiography-guided PCI. A final blinded OCT procedure was performed in patients in the angiography group. The two primary efficacy end points were the minimum stent area after PCI as assessed with OCT and target-vessel failure at 2 years, defined as a composite of death from cardiac causes, target-vessel myocardial…
