Implication

Randomized trial demonstrates similar safety outcomes using intravascular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography in patients with false bifurcation lesions.

Key Points

In-stent restenosis rates at 12-month follow-up were 2.0% with IVUS and 4.8% with OCT, showing comparable efficacy in managing false bifurcation lesions.
The cumulative incidence of major adverse cardiac events was higher in the IVUS group at 10.0%, compared to 2.4% in the OCT group, indicating a need for careful monitoring.
Post-procedural fractional flow reserve measurement improved detection of residual ischemia, enhancing decision-making during percutaneous coronary interventions.
Myocardial infarction rates were reported at 8.0% for the IVUS group, highlighting the importance of ongoing evaluation and management strategies.
