Popis: Objectives The goal of this study was to assess the clinical impact of optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Background OCT provides unprecedented high-definition visualization of plaque/stent structures during PCI; however, the impact of OCT findings on outcome remains undefined. Methods In the context of the multicenter CLI-OPCI (Centro per la Lotta contro l’Infarto–Optimisation of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) registry, we retrospectively analyzed patients undergoing end-procedural OCT assessment and compared the findings with clinical outcomes. Results A total of 1,002 lesions (832 patients) were assessed. Appropriate OCT assessment was obtained in 98.2% of cases and revealed suboptimal stent implantation in 31.0% of lesions, with increased incidence in patients experiencing major adverse cardiac events (MACE) during follow-up (59.2% vs. 26.9%; p 200 μm at the distal stent edge (HR: 2.54; p = 0.004), and reference lumen area 200 μm (HR: 1.15; p = 0.52), intrastent plaque/thrombus protrusion >500 μm (HR: 1.00; p = 0.99), and dissection >200 μm at the proximal stent edge (HR: 0.83; p = 0.65) were not associated with worse outcomes. Using multivariable Cox hazard analysis, the presence of at least 1 significant criterion for suboptimal OCT stent deployment was confirmed as an independent predictor of MACE (HR: 3.53; 95% confidence interval: 2.2 to 5.8; p Conclusions Suboptimal stent deployment defined according to specific quantitative OCT criteria was associated with an increased risk of MACE during follow-up.
