The INNOVATE-PCI trial (NCT05807841) is enrolling 3,000 patients across South Korea to validate IVUS-based imaging models and their impact on target vessel failure following percutaneous coronary intervention. Led by Asan Medical Center, the study addresses a critical evidence gap in how intravascular imaging guidance should be standardised in contemporary PCI practice. Results are anticipated by 2028–2029 and carry significant implications for interventional cardiology guidelines worldwide.
