Hypothesis-generating for anticoagulation-free stenting with IVUS optimization; leaves open need for randomized confirmation before practice change.
Does intravascular ultrasound-guided optimized stent deployment improve immediate and 6-month clinical and angiographic outcomes in selected patients?
IVUS-guided optimal stent expansion may allow for safe coronary stenting without systemic anticoagulation, resulting in favorable immediate and 6-month outcomes.
Peter de Jaegere (1998) studied this question.
