Angiography

Among patients with STEMI who underwent complete revascularization, a fractional flow reserve-guided strategy did not improve outcomes compared with an angiography-guided strategy, according to results of the FLOWER-MI trial.

Direct transfer to angiography suite vs. CT suite in patients with acute stroke who are candidates for endovascular treatment.

Patients with suspected large vessel occlusion stroke transferred directly to the angiography suite at admission had better functional outcomes compared with those transferred to the CT suite, a researcher reported.

Posterior uveitis is the most common form of involvement in intraocular tuberculosis.

In patients undergoing PCI with a drug-eluting stent, those whose procedures were guided by IVUS had less target vessel failure at 3 years than those whose procedures were guided by angiography, new data from the ULTIMATE trial showed.

Patients who underwent IVUS-guided PCI had more comorbidities but experienced less mortality, MI and repeat revascularization during the follow-up period than patients who underwent PCI without IVUS, researchers reported.

Results from the ISCHEMIA trial may lead to increased use of coronary CT angiography to determine risk for events, according to a presentation at Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography Annual Scientific Meeting.

The strongest predictor of nonfatal or fatal MI in patients who presented with stable chest pain was low-attenuation plaque burden, according to a new analysis of the SCOT-HEART trial presented at the American College of Cardiology Scientific Session.

KOLOA, Hawaii — Even though OCT angiography is a helpful diagnostic tool, there are practical challenges to implementing this technology in practice.

PHILADELPHIA — Immediate coronary angiography and delayed coronary angiography conferred similar outcomes at 1 year in patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest but without STEMI, according to new data from the COACT trial presented at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions.
