Optical frequency domain imaging vs. intravascular ultrasound in percutaneous coronary intervention (OPINION trial): one-year angiographic and clinical results.

European Heart Journal 2017 November 8
Aims: Optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI) is a recently developed, light-based, high-resolution intravascular imaging technique. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is a widely used, conventional imaging technique for guiding percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We aimed to demonstrate the non-inferiority of OFDI-guided PCI compared with IVUS-guided PCI in terms of clinical outcomes.

Methods and results: We did a prospective, multicentre, randomized (ratio 1:1), active-controlled, non-inferiority study to compare head-to-head OFDI vs. IVUS in patients undergoing PCI with a second generation drug-eluting stent. The primary endpoint was target vessel failure defined as a composite of cardiac death, target-vessel related myocardial infarction, and ischaemia-driven target vessel revascularization until 12 months after the PCI. The major secondary endpoint was angiographic binary restenosis at 8 months. We randomly allocated 829 patients to receive OFDI-guided PCI (n = 414) or IVUS-guided PCI (n = 415). Target vessel failure occurred in 21 (5.2%) of 401 patients undergoing OFDI-guided PCI, and 19 (4.9%) of 390 patients undergoing IVUS-guided PCI, demonstrating non-inferiority of OFDI-guided PCI to IVUS-guided PCI (hazard ratio 1.07, upper limit of one-sided 95% confidence interval 1.80; Pnon-inferiority = 0.042). With 89.8% angiographic follow-up, the rate of binary restenosis was comparable between OFDI-guided PCI and IVUS-guided PCI (in-stent: 1.6% vs. 1.6%, P = 1.00; and in-segment: 6.2% vs. 6.0%, P = 1.00).

Conclusion: The 12-month clinical outcome in patients undergoing OFDI-guided PCI was non-inferior to that of patients undergoing IVUS-guided PCI. Both OFDI-guided and IVUS-guided PCI yielded excellent angiographic and clinical results, with very low rates of 8-month angiographic binary restenosis and 12-month target vessel failure.
