Brief Summary

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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Neointimal thickness after DES implantation

    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 Outcomes (3)

  • Major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE)

    During 12-month follow up

  • BARC types 2-5 bleeding

    During 12-month follow up

  • In-stent thrombosis

    During 12-month follow up
