Kaplan-Meier estimates of occurrence of the primary end point for all patients and for patients who underwent IVUS-guided stent implantation in ULTIMATE. Cumulative incidence curves are for the primary end points of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, and clinically driven TLR. (A) Comparison of patients randomized to IVUS versus angiographic guidance. (B) Patients in the IVUS-guidance group, comparing those with versus those without stent optimization. HR, hazard ratio; IVUS, intravascular ultrasound; PCI, percutaneous coronary intervention; TLR, target vessel revascularization. Reprinted with permission from Zhang J, Gao X, Kan J, et al.
