Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has rapidly advanced as a key treatment modality for CHD. With an aging population, the number of PCIs performed in China is projected to increase over the long term. To enhance the prognosis for patients with CHD, it is essential to improve the quality of care while ensuring a reasonable growth in the volume of procedures. In recent years, intravascular imaging-guided PCI has emerged as a crucial approach for the precise optimization of PCI procedures in clinical practice. This imaging primarily encompasses intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Since the 1990s, a wealth of clinical evidence has been published regarding the efficacy and safety of IVUS.<span><sup>2, 3</sup></span> However, despite OCT's superior image resolution, high-quality evidence concerning its impact on patient prognosis remains limited due to its more recent application. Results from two clinical trials comparing OCT-guided PCI with angiography-guided PCI were presented at the European Society of Cardiology Annual Meeting 2023 and subsequently published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
