Summary

This study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging of the coronary arteries. OCT provides high-resolution images of the vessel wall and stented segments during routine cardiac catheterization. All patients who undergo OCT as part of their clinical care are invited to participate in this prospective registry.

The study will examine whether specific OCT-derived characteristics-such as plaque morphology, vulnerable features, or indicators of stent optimization-are associated with long-term clinical outcomes. Follow-up information on symptoms, medication use, hospitalizations, cardiac procedures, and major cardiac events will be collected through medical records, questionnaires, and national registry data over a period of up to 10 years.

In addition, pseudonymized OCT pullbacks will be used to support the development of an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm for automated annotation of OCT images. This algorithm may help improve the clinical interpretation of OCT by identifying relevant imaging features in a consistent and efficient manner.

Participation is voluntary and includes permission to use clinical data, OCT images, and follow-up information for research purposes. Data are coded to protect participant privacy and stored securely according to applicable regulations. The results of this study may contribute to better understanding of coronary plaque characteristics and may support improved decision-making in interventional cardiology.
