Bern Intarcoronary Optical Coherence Tomography and Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography Registry
Bern Intracoronary Optical Coherence Tomography and Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography Registry (BIOCORE) is a systematic institutional registry on patients undergoing paired CCTA and OCT for validation and development of advanced methods to determine coronary plaque morphology, lesion severity, PCI guidance, and it association with long-term clinical outcomes.
Inclusion: ≥18 years of age; Written informed consent; CCTA within 3 months from invasive coronary angiography and OCT; At least one vessel with ≥50% diameter stenosis on CCTA; OCT performed in native coronary arteries (i.e. pre-PCI or no PCI).
Exclusion: Prior PCI or CABG in the vessel imaged with OCT; CCTA performed more than 3 months from OCT; Poor OCT quality; Poor CCTA quality; Coronary anomalies.
