Ultrasound-guided versus fluoroscopy-guided large-bore femoral access in PCI of complex coronary lesions: the international, multicentre, randomised ULTRACOLOR Trial
02 Dec 2024
Compared to fluoroscopy guidance, routine use of ultrasound for large-bore transfemoral access in complex PCI did not significantly reduce clinically relevant bleeding or vascular complications. However, it notably improved first-pass puncture success, with a very low crossover rate.
