Originally published29 Jun 2021https://doi.org/10.1161/CIRCINTERVENTIONS.121.011004Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions. 2021;14In Response:We read with interest the letter by Alfonso et al1 about our iSIGHT trial (Optical Coherence Tomography Versus Intravascular Ultrasound and Angiography to Guide Percutaneous Coronary Interventions)2 and value their expert commentaries. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) both exert their benefits by minimizing the error on stent sizing judgment by operators, a principle which is indisputable and supported by guidelines. Debate remains on how to use each modality to identify landing zones and safely size stents and balloons.Alfonso et al raise an interesting point: iSIGHT found that stent sizing to the external elastic membrane (EEM) diameter in the OCT arm was more frequent than in the IVUS arm. At first, this appears counterintuitive, as the ability to see deeper layers of coronary arteries with IVUS is greater than with OCT. The answer lies precisely in the superior ability of IVUS to quantify plaque burden: IVUS studies have shown that landing stent borders onto an area with a plaque burden ≥50% increases the risk of edge complications.3 Therefore, in the IVUS arm in iSIGHT, whenever a landing zone had >50% plaque burden, we sized stents to the maximum lumen diameter to minimize injury at stent edges. This happened in 35.5% and 29.4% of the distal and proximal references, respectively. This approach is backed up by expert consensus and reflects widely accepted clinical practice.3 In the OCT arm, because plaque burden is not routinely quantified, stent sizing was more aggressive towards the EEM whenever it was visible for >180°—an approach applied to 92.2% and 80.4% of the distal and proximal references.iSIGHT should simply be viewed as an additional stent sizing protocol by OCT. There are other approaches, of course. A lumen-based stent sizing by OCT leads to smaller stents than an EEM sizing strategy by IVUS.4 Stent sizing to the EEM by OCT, rounding it down to the nearest 0.25 mm diameter results in noninferior minimal stent areas compared with IVUS (no specific protocol).5 In iSIGHT, we tested a more aggressive EEM sizing by OCT that resulted in noninferior stent expansions to a traditionally sizing algorithm by IVUS, with the potential for numerical superiority. Operators now have a menu of options that can suit patient's anatomic characteristics and interventionalists preferences. IVUS and OCT can be safely used interchangeably, providing the limitations of each modality are taken into consideration. The final message from iSIGHT is the following: use imaging and use it well.Disclosures None.FootnotesThe opinions expressed in this article are not necessarily those of the editors or of the American Heart Association.References1.
