- Largest-ever randomized trial to evaluate superiority of light-based, three-dimensional imaging (optical coherence tomography (OCT)) versus X-ray-based angiography in patients with complex coronary artery disease who receive a stent

- Trial will assess if stent procedures guided by high-resolution imaging result in larger vessel diameters and improved patient clinical outcomes versus stent procedures that use standard-of-care imaging

- Use of OCT imaging may help doctors be more precise in stent implantation
