Factors affecting short- and long-term survival of patients with acute coronary syndrome treated invasively using intravascular ultrasound and fractional flow reserve: Analysis of data from the Polish Registry of Acute Coronary Syndromes 2017-2020

CONCLUSION: In the consequent years, the number of FFR and IVUS procedures performed in patients with ACS in Poland increased. There was lower in-hospital mortality in the FFR and/or IVUS group in ACS, no differences in the incidence of stroke, reinfarction, target vessel revascularization and major bleeding were observed. Performing FFR and IVUS in ACS does not significantly affect 30-day or one-year mortality.PMID:36404732 | DOI:10.33963/KP.a2022.0261
