Comparable outcomes of intravascular ultrasound or optical coherence tomography-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention

Aim: The use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) or Optical coherence tomography (OCT) to guide stent placement in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) leads to better clinical outcomes than use of angiography guidance. We hypothesis which image-assisted PCI could lead better clinical outcomes in acute myocardial infarction (MI) patients.
