Optical Coherence Tomography-Guided or Intravascular Ultrasound Guided Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: The OCTIVUS Randomized Clinical Trial

Conclusions: In patients with significant coronary-artery lesions, OCT-guided PCI was noninferior to IVUS-guided PCI with respect to the incidence of a composite of death from cardiac causes, target-vessel-related myocardial infarction, or ischemia-driven target-vessel revascularization at 1 year. The selected study population and lower than expected event rates should be considered in interpreting the trial.PMID:37634092 | DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.123.066429
