The results of this study did not confer benefit with regards to 30-day hospital readmission rates when utilizing intracoronary imaging versus angiography-alone in percutaneous coronary intervention, but did suggest there may be an association between the use of intracoronary imaging and improved in-hospital mortality. In addition, resource utilization was higher in the intra-coronary imaging arm of the study.
