IntroductionIn patients with myocardial infarction, the decision to treat a nonculprit lesion is generally based on its physiological significance. However, deferral of revascularisation based on nonischaemic fractional flow reserve (FFR) values in these patients results in less favourable outcomes compared with patients with stable coronary artery disease, potentially caused by vulnerable nonculprit lesions. Intravascular optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging allows for in vivo morphological assessment of plaque ‘vulnerability’ and might aid in the detection of FFR-negative lesions at high risk for recurrent events.Methods and analysisThe PECTUS-obs study is an international multicentre prospective observational study that aims to relate OCT-derived vulnerable plaque characteristics of nonflow limiting, nonculprit lesions to clinical outcome in patients with myocardial infarction. A total of 438 patients presenting with myocardial infarction (ST-elevation myocardial infarction and non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction) will undergo OCT-imaging of any FFR-negative nonculprit lesion for detection of plaque vulnerability. The primary study endpoint is a composite of major adverse cardiovascular events (all-cause mortality, nonfatal myocardial infarction or unplanned revascularisation) at 2-year follow-up. Secondary endpoints will be the same composite at 1-year and 5-year follow-up, target vessel failure, target vessel revascularisation, target lesion failure and target lesion revascularisation.Ethics and disseminationThis study has been approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the region Arnhem-Nijmegen. The results of this study will be disseminated in a main paper and additional papers with subgroup analyses.Trial registration numberNCT03857971.

Abstract Background Recent clinical study suggests newer-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) that combine ultrathin strut and nano-coating with biodegradable polymers sirolimus-eluting stent (BP-SES) could improve long-term clinical outcomes in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) over current generation DES. However, safety profiles in very early phase have not been systematically addressed. Objective and method We exploratory investigate early vascular response following BP-SES implantation in patients with STEMI to reveal mechanism of the favorable clinical outcomes in recent studies using frequency domain-optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT). Consecutive twenty patients with STEMI who underwent FD-OCT immediately after primary PCI and were eligible for follow-up FD-OCT at 2 weeks after implantation were enrolled between June 2018 and November 2019. Results Twenty patients (age 62.7±11.3 years, male 85.0%) were enrolled with frequencies of hypertension (45.0%), diabetes mellitus (35.0%), dyslipidemia (55.0%) and smoking (80.0%). Aspiration catheter were used in all patients, and 1.13±0.34 stents were used. Only one patient (5.0%) received chronic antiplatelet therapy with aspirin prior to the onset of STEMI. All patients started to receive prasugrel as thienopyridine from this event and continued dual antiplatelet therapy for 2 weeks. The percentage of uncovered struts significantly decreased from post-procedure to 2W follow-up (69±18% post-procedure versus 30±11% at 2W follow up, p<0.0001). Malapposed struts also decreased (5.6±5.7% post-procedure versus0.9±1.2% at 2W follow up, p<0.0001).The average protrusion area of athero-thrombotic burden numerically decreased (0.37±0.19 at post-procedure versus 0.34±0.14 mm2 at 2W follow up, p=0.19) and its volume showed similar tendency (10.60±6.40 at post-procedure versus 9.36±5.14 mm3 at 2W follow up, p=0.19). Conclusion(s) This study firstly elucidated very early vascular responses following ultrathin strut BP-SES implantation in STEMI patients, showing early progression of strut coverage and resolution of athero-thrombotic materials. This technology may have a potential to overcome the current generation DESs in this clinical setting. Thrombus, uncovered and malapposed struts Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical significance and safety of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS) combined with intermediate lesions.Methods: Sixty-five NSTEACS patients with intermediate lesions confirmed with coronary angiography at our department were included in this study. Among them, 33 patients received only standardized drug treatment (drug group) and the other 32 patients received percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) according to the OCT examination based on drug treatment (OCT group). Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), revascularization, success rate of OCT examination, related complications, and other patient situations in the two groups during hospitalization and the 12-month follow-up period were compared.Results: No death or stroke occurred in either group during hospitalization and follow-up. In the drug treatment group, six patients experienced frequent angina, and five patients with acute myocardial infarction were rehospitalized and underwent PCI procedures. In the OCT group, although two patients underwent repeat revascularization, no additional acute myocardial infarction events occurred. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P < .01). All patients in the OCT group successfully completed the related vessel examination, and 24 patients underwent PCI procedures because of unstable plaque diagnosed with OCT.Conclusion: OCT-guided PCI is safe and effective for the treatment of patients with NSTEACS combined with intermediate lesions.
