From: Effect of ticagrelor versus clopidogrel after implantation of drug-eluting stents guided by either intravascular ultrasound or angiography in patients with acute coronary syndrome—propensity score matching analysis

Kaplan-Meier survival curve of primary endpoint at follow-up after propensity score matching. (A) Compared to the angiography guidance group, there was a tendency to reduce the rate of MACE in the IVUS guidance group. (B-D) Compared to the clopidogrel group, MACCE was lower in the ticagrelor group both in the whole cohort (B) and the angiography-guided subgroup (C), while in the IVUS-guided subgroup MACCE was similar between the two antiplatelet treatments (D)

Abbreviation: CAG, angiography; IVUS, intravascular ultrasound; MACCE, major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular event; MACE, major adverse cardiac event
