Outcomes of intravascular imaging-guided percutaneous coronary intervention according to lesion complexity.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recent trials have shown that intravascular imaging (IVI)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) improves clinical outcome, as compared to angiography-guided PCI, in complex coronary artery lesions. However, it is unclear whether this benefit is affected by overall lesion complexity in each patient.

Aims

The present study sought to investigate the impact of overall lesion complexity on the benefit of IVI-guided PCI.

Methods

A total of 4,611 patients with complex coronary artery lesions from the RENOVATE-COMPLEX-PCI trial (n=1,639) and the institutional registry of the Samsung Medical Center (n=2,972) were classified according to the number of complex lesion features found in each patient. The primary outcome was target vessel failure (TVF) at 3 yea
