Core Tip	The management of intermediate coronary lesions (ICL), defined as a diameter stenosis of 40% to 70%, remains a therapeutic dilemma. The 2-dimensional representation of the arterial lesion by angiography is limited in guiding therapy. Frequency-domain op¬tical coherence tomography (FD-OCT) is an ultra-high resolution imaging technique that enables a detailed evaluation of the coronary lumen. Despite its undebatable superiority over angiography and other intravascular imaging techniques, the benefit of FD-OCT over its procedural risks in clinical practice is uncertain. The current study is the first to date to investigate whether FD-OCT is safe and effective in the evaluation of ICL, in guiding treatment, and optimizing procedural outcomes.
