Aims: The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of unprotected non-ostial left main (LM) imaging by frequency domain optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT).Methods and results: We conducted a retrospective analysis of OCT studies performed to image lesions located in the non-ostial LM. OCT studies were analysed to detect the number of artefact frames in the different LM/bifurcation segments. OCT cross-sectional images were used to assess area measures. OCT longitudinal reconstructions were used to obtain the LM length. Standard quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) was used as the reference methodology. A total of 54 patients with non-ostial LM disease entered the study. The mean number of LM artefact frames was 8 +/- 10, corresponding to 19% of the total number of LM frames analysed. The percentages of artefact frames differed significantly according to the segment analysed: 43.3% proximal LM, 11.4% mid LM and 2.1% distal LM, 1.9% ostial left anterior descending artery and 0% ostial left circumflex artery (p
