Schematic diagram of the study flow chart. (A) This study enrolled patients who underwent OCT-guided PCI for coronary artery disease. Pre-PCI and non-culprit vessel imaging were performed in the available cases, and all stented lesions were imaged after PCI for stent optimization. (B) A coronary angiogram obtained after stenting the proximal lesion of the left anterior descending artery (left). Cross-sectional OCT images obtained from a stented vessel using iodine contrast and pentastarch (right upper panel) and customized 3D-rendered reconstruction of paired OCT images (right lower panel). 3D three-dimensional, DES drug-eluting stent, OCT optimal coherence tomography, PCI percutaneous coronary intervention.
