Impact of real-time optical coherence tomography and angiographic coregistration on the percutaneous coronary intervention strategy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The use of optical coherence tomography (OCT) with angiographic coregistration (ACR) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for procedural decision-making is evolving; however, large-scale data in real-world practice are lacking.

Aims

Our study aims to evaluate the real-time impact of OCT-ACR on clinician decision-making during PCI.

Methods

Patients with angiographic diameter stenosis >70% in at least one native coronary artery were enrolled in the study. The pre- and post-PCI procedural strategies were prospectively assessed after angiography, OCT, and ACR.

Results

A total of 500 patients were enrolled in the study between November 2018 and March 2020. Among these, data related to 472 patients with 483 lesions were considered for analysis.
