Aims: We compared optical coherence tomography (OCT) features of intermediate and severe coronary stenoses in patients with stable angina and acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and tested the clinical impact of an OCT-based strategy for treating intermediate stenoses.
Methods: The study enrolled 135 consecutive patients with either ACS or stable angina and a single de-novo coronary stenosis. Patients were divided into two groups: intermediate stenosis defined as quantitative coronary angiography percentage narrowing less than 70%, or presence of angiographic vessel haziness and severe stenosis with percentage narrowing more than 70%.
