Implication

Systematic review finds OCT-guided PCI reduces major adverse cardiovascular events in complex lesions, suggesting advanced imaging may improve results.

Key Points

OCT-guided PCI showed a significant reduction in major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) with a risk ratio of 0.71.
Cardiac mortality was notably lower in the OCT group (RR: 0.43), highlighting its effectiveness in high-risk patients.
Analysis included five RCTs with a total of 5737 patients, indicating strong evidence for OCT guidance.
Findings support the use of OCT in complex coronary lesions, potentially leading to better patient outcomes.
