Key result
Intravascular imaging with IVUS or OCT provides accurate assessment of stent deployment and procedural complications, helping to optimize procedural and long-term clinical outcomes during PCI.
Why the study?
Does intravascular imaging (IVUS or OCT) improve stent deployment and procedural outcomes in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention?
Does intravascular imaging (IVUS or OCT) improve stent deployment and procedural outcomes in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention?
Intravascular imaging with IVUS or OCT is essential for optimizing stent deployment and identifying complications during PCI, offering significant advantages over standard angiography.
May support IVUS/OCT for PCI stent optimization; leaves open need for RCTs confirming outcome gains.
Coronary angiography is routinely used to assess the extent and severity of coronary artery disease and for decision-making during percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). However, it is sometimes inadequate for deciding a strategy and defining optimal stenting outcomes. In this review, we present a comprehensive and practical approach to PCI using intravascular ultrasound or optical coherence tomography to optimize stent deployment and assess procedural complications after stent implantation.

Hachinohe et al. (2018) conducted a review in Coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Intravascular imaging (IVUS or OCT) vs. Coronary angiography was evaluated. Intravascular imaging with IVUS or OCT provides accurate assessment of stent deployment and procedural complications, helping to optimize procedural and long-term clinical outcomes during PCI.
