mpact of Intravascular Ultrasound on utcomes Following rcutaneous Coronary Interventio in Complex Lesions (iOPEN Complex)

Clinical data support the use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)–guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as being associated with improved outcomes. Nonetheless, global utilization of IVUS remains low. We hypothesize that, in the revascularization of complex lesions, IVUS use is associated with improved outcomes. All patients with complex lesions treated with PCI at a single center from 2003 to 2016 were stratified by use of IVUS....
