Optical coherence tomography-guided versus angiography-guided percutaneous coronary intervention in acute coronary syndrome: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is standard of care in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) suitable for interventional revascularization. Intracoronary imaging by optical coherence tomography (OCT) expanded treatment approaches adding diagnostic information and contributing to stent optimization.

Objectives

This meta-analysis aimed to assess the effects of OCT-guided vs. angiography-guided PCI in treatment of ACS.

Methods

A structured literature search was performed. All controlled trials evaluating OCT-guided vs. angiography-guided PCI in patients with ACS were eligible. The primary end point was major adverse cardiac events (MACE).

Results

Eight studies enrolling 2612 patients with ACS were eligible. 1263 patients underwent OCT-gui
