Learning Objectives:
- Analyze a real-world case where IVUS imaging was utilized to guide PCI decision-making and optimize procedural outcomes.
- Compare and contrast the advantages and limitations of using IVUS imaging techniques in PCI compared to conventional angiography.
- Identify key findings and challenges encountered during an IVUS-guided PCI procedure.
- Discuss how the insights gained from IVUS-guided PCI influenced procedural strategy, stent optimization, and patient management in the presented case.
