Summary

This study looks at whether using a special camera called optical coherence tomography (OCT) during heart artery procedures helps doctors make better decisions and get better results. About 3,200 people with various heart conditions will be included. The goal is to see if OCT guidance reduces the risk of heart-related death, heart attacks, or the need for repeat procedures.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that using OCT during heart procedures leads to better treatment decisions and fewer future heart events.
What could go wrong: This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so it can't prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all patients or hospitals.
