Summary

Delve into this EuroPCR 2024 session to gain insights into NIRS IVUS, exploring its applications, supported by current data, and understanding its clinical significance. Learn how to utilize NIRS IVUS in PCI planning through case examples, addressing lesion characteristics such as length and calcific nodules. Explore local and systemic strategies for modifying plaque vulnerability and envision the future role of NIRS IVUS in PCI, with a glimpse into upcoming studies on the subject.

Learning Objectives

  • To learn how imaging helps unmask and characterise vulnerable plaques
  • To utilise imaging findings for patient risk stratification and tailored interventions
  • To discuss PCI strategy planning, guided by intracoronary imaging
  • To identify high-risk patients to personalise interventional strategy and pharmacotherapy
