Long-Term Comparative Outcomes of FFR vs IVUS-Guided PCI in Intermediate Coronary Stenosis: Insights from the FLAVOUR Trial Extended Follow-Up

By MedXY 08/22/2025

The FLAVOUR trial's extended 6.3-year follow-up shows equivalent long-term outcomes for FFR- and IVUS-guided PCI strategies in intermediate coronary stenosis, with FFR associated with fewer total PCIs but slight increases in late revascularization.

Delayed Remote Ischemic Preconditioning Reduces Contrast-Associated Acute Kidney Injury After Coronary Angiography and PCI: Insights from a Randomized Trial

By MedXY 08/13/2025

A multicenter randomized trial demonstrates that delayed remote ischemic preconditioning 24 hours prior to coronary angiography or PCI significantly lowers the incidence of contrast-associated acute kidney injury in high-risk patients.
