  Purpose: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides superior-resolution images than coronary angiography and accurately evaluates the vessel size and plaque morphology guiding the treatment strategy before and after stent implantations. Very limited data is available in the public domain in India on OCT-guided PCI. The aim of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of OCT-guided PCI in a real-world setting in India. Methods: Records of patients ≥ 18 years who underwent OCT-guided PCI between April 2016 and December 2018 at KLE’s Hospital, Department of Cardiology and had one-year follow-up data were retrospectively analysed. All patients underwent pre- and post-PCI angiography and post-PCI OCT. The primary endpoint was post-PCI minimum stent area (MSA) and target lesion failure (TLF) at one year. .. Read More»
