Intravascular imaging-guided versus coronary angiography-guided percutaneous coronary intervention: Meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis of randomized controlled trials.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Previous meta-analyses have extensively compared the outcomes of intravascular imaging-guided versus coronary angiography-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the treatment of coronary artery disease. However, conducting repeated meta-analyses within a short period may increase the probability of type I or type II errors. Therefore, we employed both traditional meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis (TSA) methods to compare the clinical outcomes of intravascular imaging-guided and coronary angiography-guided PCI.

Methods

We searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science for literature comparing intravascular imaging-guided versus coronary angiography-guided PCI from inception to August 10, 2024. Four researchers, divided into 2 gr
