Forest plots for major adverse cardiovascular events. Risk ratio of cardiovascular death associated with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)–guided compared with angiography (Angio)–guided percutaneous coronary intervention. AIR‐CTO indicates Angiographic and Clinical Comparisons of Intravascular Ultrasound‐Versus Angiography‐Guided Drug‐Eluting Stent Implantation for Patients With Chronic Total Occlusion Lesions; AVID, Angiography Versus Intravascular Ultrasound‐Directed Stent Placement; CTO‐IVUS, Intravascular Ultrasound–Guided Chronic Total Occlusion Intervention; DIPOL, Direct Stenting vs Optimal Angioplasty Trial; EXCELLENT, Efficacy of Xience/Promus Versus Cypher in Reducing Late Loss After Stenting; HOME DES IVUS, Long‐Term Health Outcome and Mortality Evaluation After Invasive Coronary Treatment Using Drug Eluting Stents With or Without the IVUS Guidance; IVUS‐XPL, Intravascular Ultrasound Guidance on Outcomes of Xience Prime Stents in Long Lesions; MATRIX, Comprehensive Assessment of Sirolimus‐Eluting Stents in Complex Lesions; OPTICUS, Optimization With ICUS to Reduce Stent Restenosis; ULTIMATE, Intravascular Ultrasound Guided Drug Eluting Stents Implantation in “AllComers” Coronary Lesions trial; M‐H: Mantel–Haenszel.
