Key result
Intravascular imaging guidance improves PCI outcomes over angiography alone.
Why the study?

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Intravascular imaging modalities provide information beyond angiography that improves patient outcomes during PCI and helps identify high-risk plaques.
Waxman et al. (2025) conducted a review in Percutaneous coronary intervention. Intravascular coronary imaging (IVUS, OCT, NIRS) vs. Angiography alone was evaluated. Intravascular imaging-guided strategies are superior to angiography alone for improving outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention.
