Summary

This study compares two imaging methods during heart stent procedures: ultrasound-guided versus standard X-ray imaging. Researchers want to see if using ultrasound during stent placement leads to better long-term results for people with complex artery blockages. The study involves 3,100 participants across multiple countries who will be followed for two years to track heart-related complications.
