Description
Objectives
The authors used the British Cardiovascular Intervention Society (BCIS) national percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) database to explore temporal changes in the use of intravascular imaging for unprotected left main stem PCI (uLMS PCI), defined the associates of imaging use, and correlate clinical outcomes including survival with imaging use.
Background
Limited registry data support the use of intravascular imaging during uLMS PCI to improve outcomes.
Methods
Data were analyzed from 11,264 uLMS PCI procedures performed in England and Wales between 2007 and 2014. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify associates of imaging use. Propensity matching created 5,056 pairs of subjects with and without imaging and logistic regression was performed to quantify the association between imaging and outcomes. Multivariate logistic regression to identify the independent …
