Why the study?
Do abnormal poststent OCT findings predict 1-year device-oriented clinical end points?
Do abnormal poststent OCT findings predict 1-year device-oriented clinical end points?
Abnormal poststent OCT findings, specifically irregular protrusion and small minimal stent area, are independent predictors of adverse 1-year device-oriented clinical outcomes.
Supports poststent OCT for risk stratification after PCI; leaves open whether targeting these findings improves outcomes.
Abnormal poststent OCT findings were frequent. Irregular protrusion and small minimal stent area were independent predictors of 1-year device-oriented clinical end points, which were primarily driven by target lesion revascularization.
