Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates various techniques for guiding percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to determine which yields the best patient outcomes.
- It analyzes data from 39 randomized trials involving over 29,000 patients, highlighting that intravascular imaging (like OCT and IVUS) and physiology-guided strategies (like FFR) significantly reduce cardiac death compared to traditional coronary angiography (CA).
- Overall, the results suggest that OCT is the most effective guidance method, leading to lower rates of myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, and all-cause mortality compared to CA.
