Current research indicates that image-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) offers improved outcomes compared to angiogram-guided PCI. It is essential for interventional cardiologists to be knowledgeable about intravascular imaging to uphold high healthcare standards and ensure optimal patient outcomes. Image-guided PCI is invaluable for pre-procedural plaque assessment, determining the best plaque modification strategies, and selecting appropriate balloon and stent sizes. Post-PCI optimization focuses on identifying and correcting edge dissections, under-expansion, and malapposition, which are linked to acute and long-term adverse events. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), with its high-resolution 3D imaging, provides detailed assessment of vessel wall characteristics, including plaque type, burden, and the identification of vulnerable plaques susceptible to rupture, dissection, and intramural hematomas. OCT also distinguishes intraluminal structures such as thrombus (red and white), recanalized thrombus, neointima, stent struts, and the precise positioning of guidewires (abluminal placement, proximity to stent struts, and crossing angles). Furthermore, it can detect entrapped broken balloon shafts, guidewires, and other intravascular foreign bodies, all of which are crucial for optimizing PCI results.
