Summary

Highlighting the critical role of intravascular imaging in PCI, this session explores its utility in procedural planning, optimization of outcomes, and identification and management of complications. Through international case studies, it demonstrates how imaging enhances understanding beyond angiography alone and facilitates tailored, effective interventions.
