Intravascular Imaging–Guided Optimization of Complex Percutaneous Coronary Intervention by Sex: A Subgroup Analysis of the RENOVATE-COMPLEX-PCI Trial

JAMA CardiolPublished Secondary analysis of the RENOVATE-COMPLEX-PCI randomised trial

Authors' conclusion

In patients undergoing complex PCI, compared with angiographic guidance, intravascular imaging guidance was associated with similar reduction in the risk of target vessel failure among women and men.
