OCT or Angiography Guided De-escalation of DAPT
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
OCT-guided PCI: OCT-guided PCI based on MLD MAX algorithm
Conventional angiography-based PCI: Conventional angiography-based PCI
DAPT de-escalation: Aspirin and clopidogrel 30 days after DES implantation
default DAPT regimen: Aspirin and ticagrelor 30 days after DES implantation
Study summary
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) offers a high-resolution intravascular imaging modality to accurately assess vessel and lumen geometry and identify the hallmark of a culprit lesion including plaque disruption and thrombus. In addition, the incorporation of the MLD MAX algorithm into daily practice guides an efficient and easily-memorable workflow for optimized OCT-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DES). Regarding the antithrombotic therapy after revascularization, the 2023 ESC guidelines recommend the P2Y12 receptor inhibitor de-escalation (i.e. switching from ticagrelor to clopidogrel) in ACS patients may be considered as an alternative strategy to the default treatment regimen in order to reduce the risk of bleeding events.
Based on the above conclusions, we designed a single-center, prospective, randomized controlled, exploratory study trial to evaluate whether the utility of OCT for guiding PCI with DES followed by antiplatelet de-escalation therapy could further reduce the stent-induced intimal hyperplasia of STEMI patients after stent implantation.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Neointimal thickness after DES implantation — At 12-month follow up after PCI
Stent and luminal cross-sectional areas (CSAs) were measured. Neointimal CSA was calculated as stent CSA minus lumen CSA. Neointimal thickness was measured as the distance between endoluminal surface of neointima and strut, which was obtained at 12-month follow-up.
