Aim
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been recently emerged diagnostic imaging tool to assess coronary lesions. However, there is a few data related to OCT in coronary intermediate lesion. Therefore, in this meta-analysis, we aimed to investigate the role of OCT compared to fractional flow reserve (FFR) in intermediate coronary lesion.
Methods
We searched the MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane Library for studies published from January 2000 to January 2014. We included nine trials in which had at least one OCT-derived anatomic measurements such as minimal luminal diameter (MLD), minimal luminal area (MLA) and/or area stenosis (AS) compared to significant FFR cut-off value (0.75 or 0.80) into this meta-analysis.
