LONG-TERM CLINICAL OUTCOMES OF ORBITAL ATHERECTOMY PRECEDED BY OCT-GUIDED STENT IMPLANTATION

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is useful for predicting long-term outcomes after stent implantation. In 143 pts who underwent OCT-guided stenting preceded by orbital atherectomy (OA), the association between post-PCI OCT findings and 2-yr major adverse clinical events (MACE: cardiac death,
