No IVUS was performed before stent placement in either group. In the angiography-directed (AG) arm, procedural success was defined as <10% stent diameter stenosis compared with the distal reference ...
The use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) to guide stent placement in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) leads to better clinical outcomes than use of angiography guidance, according to a ...
WASHINGTON, DC—A three-way comparison of optical coherence tomography (OCT), intravascular ultrasound, and angiography has come up with mixed results when it comes to choosing the best imaging ...
When IVUS did not outperform angiography for guiding percutaneous interventions in two trials, the results offered more questions than answers.
Abbott aims to build optical coherence tomography into a preferred tool for guiding the placement of stents that increase blood flow to the heart muscle. But a pair of major late-breaking studies ...
Background Despite the expanding use of flow-diverting stents (flow diverters—FDs) for middle cerebral artery (MCA) ...
