OP-003 The Impact of Intravascular Ultrasound Guidance During Drug Eluting Stent Implantation on Angiographic Outcomes




Objectives


The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided stenting on angiographic results for drug eluting stent (DES) implantation.




Material-Methods


For the present study, we included 30 patients who received DES with IVUS-guided stenting (Group A) and 30 patients receiving the DES without IVUS-guided stenting (Group B). The patients were evaluated for their ninth month control angiographies and were followed during two years for the development of relevant clinical events after the DES implantations. The angiographic and clinical results were compared between the groups.
