OCT-guided PCI Improved Procedural Outcomes and Safety Results as Demonstrated in ILUMIEN IV,¹ OCTOBER²

OCT-guided PCI improved stent implantation results with larger stent area and stent expansion¹

OCT reduced procedural complications¹:

Major dissections
Major malapposition
Major tissue protrusion
Untreated focal reference segment disease

Stent expansion impacts outcomes. Achieving optimal stent expansion (MSA area ≥ 90%) is proven to reduce rates of adverse cardiac events.³ Stent underexpansion is an indicator of adverse events, such as stent thrombosis and restenosis.³

OCT-guided PCI improved safety including reduced stent thrombosis (ST) rates as observed in ILUMIEN IV^1,4

Significant reduction in ST 0.5% vs 1.4%, p=0.02 compared to angiography⁴

Stent thrombosis is a severe PCI complication that can lead to death or myocardial infarction.⁵

OCT-guided PCI improved clinical outcomes in complex bifurcation lesions with reduced MACE rates, as demonstrated in OCTOBER²

OCT-guided PCI reduced MACE by 28% compared to angiography²

OCT and IVUS showed comparable clinical results in OCTIVUS⁶

OCT-guided PCI demonstrated comparable results to IVUS-guided PCI in TVF at 1 year.⁶

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

Intravascular imaging to guide PCI is superior to angiography guidance, as demonstrated in the LANCET Network Meta-Analysis⁷

Routine use of intravascular imaging to guide PCI is superior to angiography and has shown to improve patient outcomes consistently in the network meta-analysis from 22 RCTs and 15,964 patients.⁷

Imaging guidance leads to lower risk of adverse events across efficacy and safety endpoints.⁷ Imaging guidance has shown a significant reduction in all-cause death (45%) and all-cause MI (25%).

Image-guided PCI leads to lower risk of adverse events across safety & efficacy endpoints compared to angiography⁷

Reduction:

45% Cardiac death
18% TV-MI
28% TLR

Safety Benefits of Imaging:

48% Reduction ST
25% Reduction all cause mortality
17% Reduction MI

Imaging guidance leads to lower risk of adverse events

OCT guidance significantly reduces TLF, Cardiac Death and Definite/Probable Stent Thrombosis⁷

OCT-guided PCI demonstrated 24% reduction in TLF, 39% reduction in Cardiac Death and 53% reduction in definite and probable stent thrombosis, as demonstrated in the LANCET Network Meta-Analysis⁷

OT guidance significantly reduces outcomes vs angio alone

Intravascular Imaging: Can We Still Ignore the Evidence?

Watch Dr. Alasnag review all imaging clinical data presented at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) 2023.

Imaging matters: new large body of data supports imaging benefit

Intravascular imaging data from over 15,000 patients solidifies the notion that intravascular imaging (IVI) should be the gold standard of care for better patient outcomes.

Societies and guidelines recommend imaging guidance for PCI

2024 SCAI Expert Consensus Statement on the Management of Calcified Coronary Lesions recommends intravascular imaging in calcified Coronary Artery Disease to assess calcium severity to determine modification strategy, and to understand mechanism of stent failure and calcium distribution in ISR cases.¹²
2023 ESC Guidelines for The Management of Acute Coronary Syndromes recommend intravascular imaging to guide PCI and recommend OCT to guide PCI in patients with ambiguous culprit lesions.⁸
2023 ACC/AHA/SCAI Advanced Training Statement on Interventional Cardiology now require the knowledge of imaging and physiology devices, how to perform imaging-guided PCI as well as the outcomes data to support the use.⁹
ACC recommends that operators use IVI as an essential adjunct to angiography, that all US cardiac catheterization labs have IVI capability and national training programs provide training on IVI.¹⁰
The AHA/ACC 2021 Guidelines for use of intravascular imaging were updated and now recommend OCT imaging to guide stent implantation and to determine mechanism of stent underexpansion.¹¹
