9. Imaging-guided PCI

OCT versus IVUS for stent guidance

OCTIVUS
Objective
to compare the effectiveness of guidance of stent implantation using OCT as compared to IVUS
Study
investigator-initiated, open-label, multicentre randomised trial (non-inferiority margin 3.1%)
Population
patients undergoing PCI with contemporary DES
Endpoints
MACE as composite of any death, MI or ischemia-driven target vessel revascularisation at 1 year
Conclusion
among patients undergoing PCI using contemporary DES OCT-guided PCI was non-inferior to IVUS-guided PCI with respect to MACE at 1 year
