About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
All comers registry with patients with chronic coronary syndrome or acute coronary syndrome who underwent intracoronary imaging during cardiac catherization. The aim is to identify plaque characteristics on OCT or IVUS that are associated with adverse cardiac events including myocardial infarction and atherosclerotic progression.
