Objective
to assess the clinical outcomes of intravascular image guided (IVUS vs OCT) PCI compared to angiography guided PCI for the treatment of complex coronary artery lesions
Study
prospective, multicentre, randomised trial 2:1 ratio
Population
patients with complex coronary artery lesions
Endpoints
composite of cardiac death, MI and clinically driven target-vessel revascularisation after median follow-up of 2.1 years
Conclusion
intravascular imaging guided PCI of complex coronary lesions led to a lower risk of major adverse coronary events compared to angiograpyguided PCI
