OCT or Angiography Guided De-escalation of DAPT

March 24, 2024 updated by: Han Yaling, Shenyang Northern Hospital

Evaluation of Neointimal Coverage After Guiding De-escalation of Antiplatelet Treatment in Patients With ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention by Optical Coherence Tomography or Angiography of STEMI Patients

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.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Neointimal thickness after DES implantation
Time Frame: 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.
At 12-month follow up after PCI

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE)
Time Frame: During 12-month follow up
Defined as a composite endpoints of all-cause death, myofarction, stroke and clinically indicated revascularization
During 12-month follow up
BARC types 2-5 bleeding
Time Frame: During 12-month follow up
Defined as all BARC type 2-5 bleeding events
During 12-month follow up
In-stent thrombosis
Time Frame: During 12-month follow up
In-stent thrombosis was defined as new ST elevation with anginal symptoms or an equivalent due to thrombotic occlusion of the stent placed at the culprit lesion confirmed by coronary angiography during the index hospitalization.
During 12-month follow up
