Decision-Making During Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Guided by Optical Coherence Tomography: Insights From the LightLab Initiative

Abstract

A standardized OCT workflow impacted PCI decision-making in 86% of lesions, with a predominant effect on pre-PCI lesion assessment and planning of treatment strategy. This finding was consistent regardless of operator experience level and provides insight into mechanisms by which intravascular imaging might improve PCI outcomes.
