Abstract

Among patients with unprotected left main coronary artery disease, IVUS-guided PCI showed no additional benefit over angiography-guided PCI with respect to the incidence of stroke, myocardial infarction, any revascularization, or death from any cause at a median follow-up of 2.9 years. (Funded by Philips Image Guided Therapy Devices and Boston Scientific; OPTIMAL ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT04111770.).
