AI Imaging Equals Ultrasound Imaging in Guiding Surgeons During Heart Procedures
A recent study has found that patients with significant blockages in three key coronary arteries had similar outcomes whether treated with stent placement guided by ultrasound imaging or a new AI-powered technique. The research, called FLAVOUR II, reached its main objective by showing no major differences in survival, heart attack rates, or the need for additional procedures within a year. The study focused on patients suffering from coronary artery illness, a condition where cholesterol buildup narrows the arteries supplying blood to the heart, leading to symptoms like shortness of breath and chest pain.
