In the European guidelines, OCT or IVUS in complex lesions (e.g. Left Main) has a 1A recommendation and thus more adopted.

A large, prospective, multicentre study of left main PCI using a latest-generation zotarolimus-eluting stent: the ROLEX study This prospective study evaluated outcomes of left main PCI with the Resolute Onyx DES in 450 patients, finding the 1-year primary endpoint occurred in 5.1% and intravascular imaging guidance was assoc...

The ROLEX Study evaluated the safety and efficacy of LM PCI with zotarolimus-eluting DES. The prospective, multicentre registry highlighted the benefits of using dedicated large-vessel stent platforms and IC imaging guidance, which significantly reduces adverse events @ 1Y.

The latest consensus statement provides detailed guidance on managing high-risk patients with reduced LVEF deemed unsuitable for surgical revascularization. It covers:

➡️ Patient selection criteria.
➡️ Procedural techniques to minimize risk
➡️ Long-term strategies to improve outcomes
