OCT supplied a major benefit in 86.2% of cases, especially by identifying significant coroanry stenosis in CA borderline and nonsignificant lesions; OCT led to PCI indication in two-thirds and, respectively, one-third of these cases. In the post-PCI context, OCT led to an indication of PCI optimization in half of the complex left main and bifurcation lesions, as well as in a quarter of "systematic" post-PCI OCT controls.
