Impact of Diabetes on Outcomes of Contemporary PCI Guided by OCT vs Angiography: The ILUMIEN IV Trial.
Patients with diabetes are at higher risk for adverse events after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) compared with patients without diabetes. This study sought to assess the influence of diabetes and complex lesions on the outcomes of patients undergoing PCI with and without optical coherence tomography (OCT) guidance during a follow-up period of 2 years.
