Trial Review

Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
1. Participants who undergo clinically indicated coronary angiography within 72 hours of presenting with NSTEMI.
2. Participants able to provide written informed consent before baseline angiography.
3. Male or female >= 18 and <=82 years of age at screening.
4. Participants must meet all of the following criteria at the qualifying coronary catheterisation procedure:
a. Angiographic evidence of coronary artery disease, with a culprit lesion identifiable
for the NSTEMI, and managed as clinically indicated
b. Target coronary artery for OCT:
i. At least one non-culprit intermediate lesion in a non-culprit

ii. When multiple non-culprit intermediate lesions are present, the most
angiographically severe one will be imaged.
iii. Vessel for interrogation must be accessible to the OCT catheter.
iv. Target vessel has not undergone prior percutaneous coronary intervention
(PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, and is not a bypass
graft.
v. Target vessel is not currently a candidate for intervention or a likely
candidate for intervention over the next 12 months.
