Description
Anyi Xu and co-authors pool trial evidence on ultrasound-guided stent placement in a 2024 paper. Six randomized trials, with more than five thousand patients who had complex coronary artery disease, compared stents placed with an internal ultrasound probe against stents placed with standard guidance alone.
The ultrasound-guided group suffered fewer major adverse heart events overall. Heart deaths were lower too. Fewer patients needed repeat procedures on the treated vessel or on the treated lesion. Clots forming inside stents were also rarer. Heart attack rates and deaths from all causes did not differ clearly between the two groups. Readers get trial-backed support for imaging guidance when artery disease is complex.
