OCT vs. IVUS vs. angiography guidance: a real-time updated network meta-analysis - report from ESC2023

Professor Gregg Stone provides a summary from a real-time updated network meta-analysis comparing OCT, IVUS and Angiography guidance in percutaneous coronary intervention procedures. The OCTOBER and ILUMIEN IV randomised trials both studied OCT-guided versus angiography-guided PCI. This analysis compared the overall effects of intravascular imaging in improving outcomes of the PCI procedure as compared to angiography, as well as IVUS vs angiography, OCT versus angiography, and IVUS versus OCT. Results showed that IVUS-guided PCI was associated with lower rates of target lesion failure as compared to angiography-guided PCI.
