The use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has seen exponential growth across registries over the years, combined with mounting and increasingly robust evidence. The fact that it will enable us to characterize plaque morphology and extension prior the intervention, and even assess stent expansion post intervention, has turned it into a pillar of our efforts to...

In surgically ineligible patients with complex coronary anatomy short term risk of death with PCI is considerably lower than the estimated surgical risk. These are the outcomes of the OPTIMUM registry, presented during the TCT scientific sessions. The good short-term outcomes highlight the importance of trying percutaneous revascularization to treat complex patients. The current data...
Compared with visual estimation of lesions, using quantitative angiography-derived fractional flow reserve (quantitative flow ration, QFR) provides better clinical outcomes at one year for angioplasty. These results emerge from the Chinese FAVOR III study, presented at the 2021 TCT scientific sessions and simultaneously published in The Lancet. The simplicity and safety offered by QRF—since there is...
