Forest plot of RR for MACE (a), all cause death (b), cardiac death (c), MI (d), ST (e), TLR (f) and TVR (g) associated with IVUS guided vs angiography guided DES implantation to treat LMCA disease. Squares is the effect size of the individual studies; diamonds, the summarized effect size; horizontal lines, upper and lower border of 95% confidence interval. DES = drug eluting stent; LMCA = left main coronary artery; IVUS = intravascular ultrasound; MACE = major adverse cardiac event; MI = myocardial infarction; relative ratio = RR; ST = stent thrombosis; TLR = target lesion revascularization; TVR = target vessel revascularization
