Key result
Intravascular imaging-guided PCI reduces clinical events in bifurcation lesions.
Why the study?
Precise evaluation of bifurcation lesion severity and optimal dual antiplatelet therapy duration after PCI require further investigation.
Does intravascular imaging to guide PCI reduce clinical events in patients with coronary bifurcation lesions?
Does intravascular imaging to guide PCI reduce clinical events in patients with coronary bifurcation lesions?
Intravascular imaging guidance for PCI in bifurcation lesions reduces clinical events, though optimal DAPT duration remains unclear.
May support imaging-guided PCI in bifurcations; hypothesis-generating and leaves open need for RCTs.
In bifurcation lesion, a precise evaluation of lesion severity and disease extension requires the use of bifurcation (three branches) quantitative coronary angiography. The use of Intravascular imaging to guide PCI in bifurcation has shown to reduce clinical events. Selection and duration of the dual antiplatelet therapy after bifurcation lesion PCI require further investigation.
