Routine Coronary CT Angiography vs Standard Care for Follow-Up After LM-PCI: The PULSE Trial

The PULSE trial demonstrated that among patients undergoing PCI for unprotected LM coronary artery disease, routine coronary CT angiography (CCTA) at 6 months did not reduce 18-month MACE compared with standard care, although it was associated with a lower incidence of spontaneous MI and a higher rate of imaging-triggered TLR, Dr. Fabrizio D’Ascenzo, Citta della Salute e della Scienza Hospital, Italy, reported in the November 11 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

The researchers evaluated 606 patients with unprotected LM disease who underwent implantation of sec...
