Patients with narrowing of at least 50% in three major coronary arteries did equally well when treated with a minimally invasive stent placement guided either by ultrasound-based imaging or by a novel, artificial-intelligence-powered (AI), non-invasive imaging technique derived from angiography, researchers reported at the American College of Cardiology\u2019s Annual Scientific Session (ACC.25<\/a>) on March 30 in Chicago. The work was simultaneously published<\/a> in The Lancet.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the first such study to be conducted in patients with angiographically significant lesions,\u201d said Jian\u2019an Wang, MD, a professor in the Heart Center at The Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine in Hangzhou, China, and the study\u2019s senior author. \u201cPatients whose evaluation was non-invasively guided by the novel, AI-powered technique underwent approximately 10% fewer procedures, and their outcomes were comparable with those for patients whose evaluation was guided by a commonly used ultrasound-based imaging technique.\u201d<\/p>\n

The study, known as FLAVOUR II, met its primary endpoint, a composite of death, a heart attack or need for a repeat procedure at one year, Wang said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
