Optical coherence tomography and coronary revascularization: from indication to procedural optimization

Rick Volleberg et al.

Summary: Angiography is commonly used for percutaneous coronary interventions, but it has limitations in providing detailed information on plaque composition and functional stenosis severity. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) offers higher spatial resolution than other imaging modalities, allowing precise measurement of vessel wall and luminal dimensions. OCT can also characterize plaque and provide valuable guidance for procedural planning and evaluation of stent complications. It has the potential to become an all-in-one tool for percutaneous coronary revascularization.

Summary: In this study, FFR-guided PCI for patients with three-vessel coronary artery disease was not found to be noninferior to CABG in terms of the occurrence of a composite of death, myocardial infarction, stroke, or repeat revascularization within 1 year.

Summary: In patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing PCI with second-generation drug-eluting stent implantation, the use of IVUS guidance is associated with a significant reduction in 3-year target lesion failure, mainly driven by lower risk of cardiac death and target vessel myocardial infarction.

Summary: Among patients with obstructive coronary artery disease, FFR-guided revascularisation did not reduce the risk of long-term adverse cardiac events. However, FFR-guided revascularisation was associated with fewer number of stents.

Summary: For patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel disease, guided complete revascularization (CR) using angiography or fractional flow reserve (FFR) for nonculprit stenosis is associated with a lower incidence of adverse events compared to culprit-only revascularization.

Clinical Outcomes Following Hemodynamic Parameter or Intravascular Imaging-Guided Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in the Era of Drug-Eluting Stents: An Updated Systematic Review and Bayesian Network Meta-Analysis of 28 Randomized Trials and 11,860 Patients

Meng-Jin Hu et al.

Summary: In the era of drug-eluting stent (DES), intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) was found to reduce major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and cardiovascular death compared to coronary angiography (CAG). Hemodynamic parameter-guided PCI, such as fractional flow reserve (FFR) and quantitative flow ratio (QFR), significantly reduced the risk of stroke compared to CAG, IVUS, and optical coherence tomography (OCT)/optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI).

Fractional Flow Reserve or Intravascular Ultrasonography to Guide PCI

Bon-Kwon Koo et al.

Summary: In patients with intermediate stenosis who were being evaluated for PCI, FFR guidance was found to be noninferior to IVUS guidance with respect to the composite primary outcome of death, myocardial infarction, or revascularization at 24 months. Patient-reported outcomes as reported on the Seattle Angina Questionnaire were similar in the two groups.

Etienne Puymirat et al.

Summary: In patients with STEMI undergoing complete revascularization, an FFR-guided strategy did not have a significant benefit over an angiography-guided strategy with respect to the risk of death, myocardial infarction, or urgent revascularization at 1 year. However, the findings do not allow for a conclusive interpretation due to wide confidence intervals.

Thin-cap fibroatheroma predicts clinical events in diabetic patients with normal fractional flow reserve: the COMBINE OCT-FFR trial

Elvin Kedhi et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of optical coherence tomography (OCT)-detected thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) on clinical outcomes of diabetes mellitus (DM) patients with fractional flow reserve (FFR)-negative lesions. The results showed that among DM patients with FFR-negative lesions, TCFA-positive patients had a five-fold higher rate of major adverse clinical events (MACE) compared to TCFA-negative patients, suggesting a potential paradigm shift for coronary artery disease risk stratification in DM patients.
