Article Synopsis
- Early vascular healing after drug-eluting stent implantation is crucial for positive patient outcomes and reducing in-stent thrombosis.
- A study compared outcomes for patients with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome undergoing PCI, using either optical coherence tomography (OCT) or traditional angiography guidance.
- Results showed that at 3 months, OCT guidance led to better strut coverage than angiography, but the advantage decreased by 6 months, suggesting healing may depend more on time than the guidance method used.*
Background: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has a well-established role in revascularization for coronary artery disease. We performed network meta-analysis to provide evidence on optimal intervention strategies for lesions in small coronary arteries.
Materials And Methods: Enrolled studies were randomized clinical trials that compared different intervention strategies [balloon angioplasty (BA), biolimus-coated balloon (BCB), bare-metal stent (BMS), new-generation drug-eluting stent (New-DES), older generation sirolimus-eluting stent (Old-SES), paclitaxel-coated balloon (PCB), and paclitaxel-eluting stent (PES)] for lesions in small coronary arteries.
