The OCTOBER Trial: Image-Guided PCI for Bifurcation Lesions

In this episode, we break down the OCTOBER trial — a pivotal study investigating whether optical coherence tomography (OCT)-guided PCI offers better outcomes than angiography alone in treating coronary bifurcation lesions. We explore the clinical rationale, study design, and what the findings mean for the evolving role of intravascular imaging in complex coronary interventions.
