PG - 68-76 LID - 10.14744/AnatolJCardiol.2019.77009 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: It is unknown whether the intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) should be routinely used in small-vessel coronary lesions in patients affected by Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study aimed to assess the clinical significance of the IVUS-guided PCI treatment for small-vessel coronary lesions in T2DM. METHODS: This was a prospective interventional trial.
