ABSTRACT


AIMS - To assess the possible merits of optical coherence tomography (OCT) guidance in primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI).


METHODS AND RESULTS - 201 patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) were enrolled in this study. Patients were randomized either to pPCI alone (angio-guided group, n=96) or to pPCI with OCT guidance (OCT-guided group, n=105) and also either to biolimus A9 or to everolimus-eluting stent implantation. All patients were scheduled for nine months of follow-up angiography and OCT study. OCT guidance led to post-pPCI optimization in 29% of cases (59% malapposition and 41% dissections). No complications were found related to the OCT study. OCT analysis at nine months showed significantly less in-segment area of stenosis (6% [-11, 19] versus 18% [3, 33]; p=0.0002) in favor of the OCT-guided group. The rate major adverse cardiovascular events were comparable at nine months in both groups (3% in the OCT group versus 2% in the angio-guided group; p=0.87).


CONCLUSIONS - This study demonstrates the safety of OCT guidance during pPCI. The use of OCT optimized stent deployment in 1/3 of patients in this clinical scenario and significantly reduced in-segment area of stenosis at nine months of follow-up. Whether such improvements in OCT endpoints will have a positive impact on late clinical outcomes, they demand both a larger and longer-term follow-up study.
