These findings must be interpreted only for complex lesions, because all identified patients had long lesions or chronic total occlusions.

ILUMIEN III: OPTIMIZE PCI PRIMARY ENDPOINT
Conclusions IVUS is easy to use and widely available. Clinical evidence showing the benefits of IVUS-guided PCI is overwhelming All relevant measurements can be easily obtained by IVUS analysis IVUS should remain the imaging modality of choice for all coronary interventions
