About the episode

ESC 2023 — Dr Niels Ramsing Holm (Aarhus University, DK) outlines the findings from the OCTOBER trial (NCT03171311). 

 

The OCTOBER trial (Aarhus University Hospital Skejby, Abbott) aimed to compare the median two-year clinical outcome after optical coherence tomography (OCT) guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as compared to angiographic-guided PCI. This was an investigator-initiated, randomized, controlled, prospective trial, which enrolled 1201 participants. Patients were randomized to receive either angiographic-guided PCI, or OCT-guided PCI.

 

Findings suggest that OCT-guided PCI reduced adverse cardiac events in patients with bifurcation lesions. These procedures were deemed safe, but took longer and used more contrast.

 

Questions: 

  1. What is the reasoning behind this study?
  2. Please tell us a bit more about OCT-Guided PCI
  3. What was the patient population and study design?
  4. What are the key findings?
  5. How should these findings influence clinical practice?
  6. Where are the knowledge gaps?

 

Recorded on-site at ESC Congress 2023, Amsterdam.
