Improved Clinical Outcomes with Intravascular Imaging-Guided PCI: Impact of Standardized Optimization Protocols

Cardiology Update

Intravascular imaging (IVI), such as intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT), play a crucial role in assessing lesion characteristics and optimizing stent placement during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Patients were divided into two groups based on IVI usage. vs 6.7%; HR: 0.77; 95% CI: 0.61-0.97;

Fractional flow reserve for guiding coronary intervention and functional SYNTAX score

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

If the FFR normalizes after stenting, the restenosis rates at six months is less than 5%. Since the FFR wire can be used for guiding balloon catheters and stents, it is easy to make post procedure measurements without any additional effort. Routine FFR measurement probably lead to more judicious use of stents and improved outcomes.
