1. Target-vessel failure was significantly lower in the ultrasound-guided group than the angiography-guided group. 2. There was no significant difference between groups concerning stent thrombosis. Evidence Rating Level: 1 (Excellent) Study Rundown: Angiography-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the current standard of care for patients with coronary artery stenosis, although this is associated with complications.
1. Intravascular imaging-guided PCI significantly reduces target lesion failure compared to angiography-guided PCI. 2. The risks of stent thrombosis, all myocardial infarction, and all-cause mortality were significantly lower in the intravascular imaging guidance group. Evidence Rating Level: 1 (Excellent) Study Rundown: Previous meta-analyses have suggested the benefits of intravascular imaging-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) over
