Objective
to report the 5 year clinical outcomes of IVUS-guided compared to angiography-guided PCI with an everolimus-eluting stent in patients with long lesions
Study
multicentre randomised trial
Population
patients with typical chest pain or evidence of myocardial ischemia and long coronary lesion (â¥28 mm length)
Endpoints
MACE as cardiac death, TL-MI, ischemia-driven TL-revascularisation at 5 years
Conclusion
IVUS-guided DES implantation is associated with significant lower MACE rate at 5 years as compared to angiography-guided DES implantation
