Intravascular Imaging-Guided PCI Reaches a Turning Point With Survival, MI Benefits
For the first time, intravascular imaging-guided coronary stenting was associated with better survival and reduced myocardial infarction (MI) in a meta-analysis powered to detect these benefits against angiography, researchers reported. Randomized to optical coherence tomography (OCT) or intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance, patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with contemporary stents showed a decrease in […]
