Randomized Controlled Trial of Optical Coherence Tomography Versus Angiography for Culprit Lesion Revascularization in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction
The aim of the study is to compare clinical outcomes between optical coherence tomography-guided versus angiography-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
• Subject must be at least 19 years of age
• Acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)
• \*STEMI: ST-segment elevation ≥0.1 mV in ≥2 contiguous leads or documented newly developed left bundle-branch block1
• Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in \< 12 h after the onset of symptoms for STEMI patients
• Subject is able to verbally confirm understandings of risks, benefits and treatment alternatives of receiving invasive physiologic evaluation and PCI and he/she or his/her legally authorized representative provides written informed consent prior to any study related procedure.
