Comparable Results Between OCT and IVUS as Demonstrated in OCTIVUS1

KEY RESULTS

OCT-guided PCI demonstrated comparable results to IVUS-guided PCI at 1 year.1

  • TVF 2.5% OCT vs 3.1% IVUS, p<0.001 for non-inferiority at 1 year
  • Fewer major procedural complications in the OCT group (2.2% vs 3.7%)
  • Reduced procedural time in the OCT group
  • No differences in contrast-related risk between OCT and IVUS

 

comparable results

Trial overview:

OCTIVUS trial is an investigator-initiated, prospective, multicenter trial.

  • Conducted at 9 sites in South Korea
  • n=2,008 patients
  • 1:1 randomized ratio to OCT-guided or IVUS-guided PCI

Primary endpoint:

Composite of death from cardiac cause (TV-MI or ID-TVR at one year, powered for non-inferiority of the OCT group as compared with the IVUS group)
