PANOVISION: Feasibility and Safety of Hybrid IVUS-OCT System

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were all recommended for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) optimization in the latest guidelines, however, which imaging modality was more suitable as either a diagnostic or guidance tool was still unknown. Recently, a novel, well-designed hybrid imaging system was approved for clinical use, allowing the accurate co-registration of two imaging modalities and immediate, simultaneous image review. For testing each modality in the hybrid imaging system, the investigators conducted this prospective, multicentre, non-inferiority trial. In this study, all participants achieved hybrid IVUS-OCT imaging after stenting, at meanwhile, patients randomly assigned to the IVUS arm were performed control IVUS (OptiCross, Boston Scientific, Natick, MA), and patients randomly assigned to the OCT arm were performed control OCT (C7 Dragonfly Duo, St. Jude Medical, St. Paul, MN). In this study, the investigators evaluated the non-inferiority of standalone IVUS versus control IVUS or standalone OCT versus control OCT in clinical feasibility using clear stent capture rate (CSCR) and safety using perioperative device-related adverse cardiovascular events.
