简要总结
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a recent imaging modality that yields cross-sectional images with a resolution 10 times greater than that of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). OCT uses a near-infra-red light source to obtain images of the interior walls of the coronary arteries and is increasingly used to evaluate vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques and assess placement and response to stenting. - To date, no study has evaluated whether optical coherence tomography (OCT) contributes to optimizing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and stenting.
The DOCTORS study is a randomized, open label study to evaluate whether OCT-guided angioplasty would provide useful clinical information beyond that obtained by angiography, and whether this information would subsequently modify physician behavior and treatment choices. In particular, we will evaluate the impact of changes in procedural strategy resulting from the use of OCT on the value of fractional flow reserve (FFR) obtained after angioplasty and stent implantation of a lesion responsible for non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndromes.

研究组 & 干预措施
Control Group
Randomization will be performed after initial coronary angiography, once the operator has identified the lesion responsible for the ACS. Patients will be randomly allocated to one of two groups. In the "Control" Group, the angioplasty procedure will be guided by traditional fluoroscopy alone.
In both groups, fractional flow reserve (FFR) will be measured at the end of the procedure, once the operator considers the result of the angioplasty to be optimal. The average of three consecutive FFR measures will be recorded.
Optical Coherence Tomography
Randomization will be performed after initial coronary angiography, once the operator has identified the lesion responsible for the ACS. Patients will be randomly allocated to one of two groups.
In the "OCT" group, OCT will be performed to optimise the results of angioplasty. The procedure will be performed according to usual practice, with or without pre-dilation before implantation of one or more stents (drug-eluting or bare metal). In the OCT group, OCT will be performed after initial coronary angiography and at the end of the procedure and the operator will have the possibility to change procedural strategy according to the data immediately available on the OCT images, with the possibility of additional interventions (additional balloon inflations, addition stent implantation, use of GPIIb/IIIa inhibitors and/or thromboaspiration and/or rotational atherectomy).

结局指标
主要结局
Functional result of the angioplasty procedure as assessed by fractional flow reserve (FFR)
时间窗: Measured at the end of the angioplasty procedure
Evaluation of the functional result of the angioplasty procedure as assessed by fractional flow reserve (FFR) at the end of the procedure. The average of three consecutive FFR measures will be recorded.
次要结局
- Percentage of patients in whom OCT revealed a sub-optimal result of angioplasty(Assessed during the initial angioplasty procedure (Day 0))
- Identification of quantitative OCT (i.e. minimum lumen diameter and minimum lumen area) variables that predict FFR as measured at the end of the initial angioplasty procedure.(At the end of the initial angioplasty procedure (Day 0))
- Percentage of patients in whom a change in procedural strategy was decided based on the information obtained from OCT images(During the initial angioplasty procedure, as soon as the operator decides whether or not to proceed with additional interventions based on OCT data (Day 0))
- Comparison between online and offline analyses of OCT data(Analysis of offline data is performed centrally, and comparison will be performed once both online and offline analysis data are performed (Day 90))
- Safety of OCT in the context of angioplasty for ACS(At the end of the angioplasty procedure (Day 0) and up to 24 hours (for peak troponin and creatinine clearance))
- Adverse cardiac events at 6 months(Recorded by telephone contact with the patient, the treating physician or general practitioner or cardiologist at 6 months after initial angioplasty)
- Determination of a threshold value for quantitative OCT measures (i.e. minimal lumen diameter and minimal lumen area) that best predict a fractional flow reserve value >=0.90.(At the end of the initial angioplasty procedure (Day 0))
