Imaging in Coronary Interventions

Coronary angiography has historically served as the gold standard for diagnosis of coronary artery disease and guidance of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), but the evolution of PCI would not have been possible without intravascular imaging which provides unique insights about coronary artery pathology.

Over the last 30 years IVUS and, more recently, optical coherence tomography (OCT) have been extensively used to examine the extent and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD), guide PCI in complex lesions, and assess the performance of emerging devices introduced to treat CAD. In this section, you will find a selection of resources showing the use of imaging in real-life scenarios.

What is the role of intra-coronary physiology and imaging to guide left main bifurcation PCI?

17 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023

As Alejandro Travieso explains, physiology and imaging are complementary to achieve good assessment of left main PCI. Dejan Milasinovic adds that different imaging tools can be used in different patients, so practitioners may choose between OCT and IVUS, depending on their main target of interest.
