9. Imaging-guided PCI

OCT or Angiography guided PCI bifurcation lesions

OCTOBER
Objective
to investigate whether OCT-guided PCI is superior to angiography-guided PCI for treatment of bifurcation lesions
Study
multicentre, open-label, randomised controlled trial
Population
stable, unstable or non-STEMI and bifurcation lesion
Endpoints
composite MACE: any-death, MI, or ischemia driven target lesions revascularisation at median follow-up of 2 years
Conclusion
OCT-guided PCI for bifurcation lesions was associated with a significant lower incidence of 2-year MACE compared to angiography-guided PCI
