SWSeong-Bong Wee DKDo-Yoon Kang JAJung-Min Ahn

Key Points

The aim is to compare the effectiveness of OCT and IVUS in guiding PCI for true bifurcation lesions.
Comparative analysis of OCT-guided and IVUS-guided PCI in patients with bifurcation lesions.
Assessment of target-vessel failure rates in both approaches.
OCT-guided PCI had a risk of target-vessel failure similar to IVUS-guided PCI.
Both techniques were effective in managing true bifurcation lesions.

Abstract

In patients with true bifurcation lesions, OCT-guided PCI demonstrated a similar risk of target-vessel failure compared with IVUS-guided PCI. (Optical Coherence Tomography versus Intravascular Ultrasound-Guided Percutaneous Coronary Intervention; NCT03394079).
