Assessment of Coronary Artery Lesion Using Optical Coherence Tomography Versus IntraVascular Ultrasound for BiorEsorbable Vascular Scaffold Implantation (ACTIV-BVS)

September 5, 2018 updated by: Young-Hak Kim, MD, PhD
The primary objective is to determine whether IVUS- (vs. OCT-) guided BVS implantation is non-inferior to achieve a large in-scaffold minimal lumen area (primary endpoint) measured by OCT at 1-year follow-up.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Optical coherent tomography
Optical coherent tomography provides more detailed information about the morphology of scaffolds, microstructures and coronary vasculature based on tissue characteristics as compared to conventional IVUS. In spite of angiographic success in BVS placement, further scaffold optimization was required in over a quarter of cases based on OCT findings due to malapposition or scaffold under expansion.
comparative method for BVS
Active Comparator: IntraVascular UltraSound
Intravascular ultrasound guidance has been associated with improved event-free survival compared with angiographic guidance after DES placement.
