Key result
IVUS and OCT reveal mechanical causes of ISR to optimize stenting and guide management.
Why the study?
Despite drug-eluting stents, in-stent restenosis still occurs, and more evidence is needed to define patient- and lesion-specific characteristics to tailor treatment selection and improve outcomes.
Does intravascular imaging (IVUS or OCT) guidance prevent in-stent restenosis and improve outcomes in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention?
Does intravascular imaging (IVUS or OCT) guidance prevent in-stent restenosis and improve outcomes in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention?
Intravascular imaging with IVUS or OCT provides critical insights into the mechanical causes of in-stent restenosis and can guide optimal stent deployment and restenosis management.

May aid stent optimization and restenosis management; leaves open whether routine imaging improves PCI outcomes.
Abouelnour et al. (2022) conducted a review in Coronary in-stent restenosis. Intravascular imaging (IVUS and OCT) vs. Angiography was evaluated. Intravascular imaging with IVUS or OCT provides unique insights into mechanical causes of in-stent restenosis, helping to optimize stenting procedures and guide management.
