Does StentBoost enhanced x-ray imaging accurately measure coronary stent deployment compared to intravascular ultrasound in patients undergoing PCI?
Effect estimate: r = 0.62
Computer-enhanced x-ray imaging (StentBoost) provides accurate assessment of coronary stent deployment when using two projection angles and guide catheter calibration, offering a less invasive alternative to IVUS.
Davies et al. (2012) conducted an observational in Coronary artery disease requiring percutaneous coronary intervention (n=33). StentBoost enhanced x-ray imaging vs. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) was evaluated on Correlation of minimum stent diameter between StentBoost (using two views and guide catheter calibration) and IVUS (r = 0.62). StentBoost enhanced x-ray imaging showed improved agreement with intravascular ultrasound for assessing minimum stent diameter when using two projection angles and guide catheter calibration (r=0.62).
