Conclusions The ODESSA trial demonstrated: Feasibility of using intravascular OCT in prospective clinical trials >90% strut coverage at 6-month follow-up Trend towards higher incidence of uncovered and malapposed struts at the OL site of DES than in BMS Different degrees of strut coverage and NIH among DES platforms: SES : Highest rate of uncovered and malapposed struts (OL = non-OL) Lowest degree of NIH (OL> non-OL) ZES: Lowest rate ( 0%) of uncovered and malapposed struts (OL = non-OL) Highest degree of NIH (OL> non-OL) PES: Higher incidence of uncovered and malapposed struts (OL> non-OL) Intermediate degree of NIH (OL> non-OL)
