1/4 Just publ in the Lancet our updated network meta-analysis of imaging-guided (OCT or IVUS) vs. angio-guided PCI across the spectrum of CAD. With 22 RCTs and 15,964 pts this is the 1st study to demonstrate that imaging reduces all-cause death (by 25%), as well as all MI (17%).

Very important study by @PhilGenereuxMD and colleagues supporting that mortality is not just driven by the AS severity, but rather emphasizing the importance to consider the myocardial response. Would #yesCCT be the one stop shop to assess myocardial damage and its consequences?
Major Study including >1 million patients from 24 US centers demonstrating the mortality burden of the different degrees of severity of aortic stenosis. And with an editorial from the godfather of AS Dr. E. Braunwald! https://t.co/GaCYHst2ZF
