“…7 In a small study of 100 patients treated with thrombus aspiration followed by OCT, no stent was implanted if the occlusion was mostly thrombotic and no significant coronary narrowing was detected by OCT, provided that the patient was symptom-free and TIMI flow was ≥2 (20 patients). 30 Follow-up OCT studies showed a ''normal vessel'' and there were no adverse events at 12-month follow-up. The safety and feasibility of medical management without stent placement in selected ACS patients with large thrombus burden detected by OCT has also been reported in other studies, in which OCT revealed lesion characteristics that were not disclosed by angiography and facilitated treatment decisions.…”

“…After the intervention, OCT allows a complete assessment of the size, and proper abutment of the struts. To date, there are no randomized trials that support the routine use of OCT to guide coronary intervention (31). Use of OCT has been expanding in recent years; however, it is well recognized that its main disadvantages are the inability to visualize ostial lesions, difficulty providing a ''blood-free environment'' in the coronary ostium and insufficient evidence related to its use for the evaluation of clinical significance of these lesions ( Figure 4).…”

“…40) OCT guidance can also guide intevention to avoid balloon angioplasty (POBA) and stenting in specific lesion subset. In a study by Cervinka et al 41) OCT showed clear differentiation between real lesions and thrombus formation in the setting of ST segment elevation MI and led to the avoidance of POBA and stenting. However, the OCT criteria to guide PCI and long-term clinical follow-up of OCT-guided PCI remain undefined; further studies are warranted to clarify the role of OCT in PCI guidance or optimization.…”
