Optical coherence tomography to Optimize results of Percutaneous coronary intervention in Patients with non–st-elevation acute coronary syndrome

ahaNicolas Meneveau, MD, PhD, Geraud Souteyrand, MD,  Pascal Motreff, MD, PhD, Christophe Caussin, MD, Nicolas Amabile, MD et 13 autres*

BACKGROUND: No randomized study has investigated the value of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in optimizing the results of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for non–ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes.

METHODS: We conducted a multicenter, randomized study involving 240 patients with non–ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes to compare OCT-guided PCI (use of OCT pre- and post-PCI; OCT-guided group) to fluoroscopy-guided PCI (angiography-guided group).

Dr Sonia Houssany  et Dr Julien Adjedj
Hôpital Cochin, Paris

A 38 years old woman was admitted to our department by mobile care unit for chest pain at day 7 of post partum.

Her medical history included only gestational diabetes and a smoking habit.

She experienced chest pain at rest, while waking up and called for medical assistance. ECG revealed a ST elevation in anterior lead, therefore the patient was referred to the cath lab for coronary angiography.
