This is what a 34-week-old baby looks like outside the womb.

In Massachusetts, you can now abort an unborn baby at this age.

The only difference is the child’s location.

Our JACC publ from ILUMIEN IV. In 1973 pts with complex lesions OCT-guided stenting reduced serious MACE (cardiac death, TV-MI, or stent thrombosis) by 37% compared with angiography-guided stenting. Results consistent across all lesion types. Download from https://t.co/uxpXK11fxM

OCT has now shown in multiple trials it does NOT increase contrast use.

Getting every piece of information you need in a pullback automated and augmented by #AI helps you to #OptimizePCI

[Abbott Cardiovascular @AbbottCardio]

The CALIPSO Trial presented at #EuroPCR showed that in complex calcified lesions, OCT-guided PCI was superior to angio-guided PCI with larger MSA and w/ no difference in contrast usage & procedure time.

So why was TVF not different
-IDTVR identical
- Amazing operators in angio arm (OCT eyes) with very big stents and balloons at the highest pressures ive seen in a trial
- If you have angina versus risk of COVID, COVID wins and IDTVR biases to the mean.

#ILUMIENIV @ #HOTLINE #ESC2023
Take home
•OCT resulted in larger MSA than angio with greater stent expansion
•OCT led to fewer major dissections, malapposition, tissue protrusion and untreated focal reference disease
•OCT reduced angiographic complications
