Abstract

BACKGROUND: Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is essential for assessing complex coronary lesions, but remains underutilized in part due to difficulties in image interpretation. The AVVIGO IVUS Automated Lesion Assessment (ALA) software, which uses machine learning (ML) for automatic segmentation, promises to simplify lesion assessment. This study evaluated the agreement in stent size selection between ALA, an independent core laboratory (CL), and an expert interventional cardiologist (IC) for complex lesions.
