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.

How can you determine the culprit lesion in NSTEMI?

16 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023

Since patients with NSTEMI represent an important population in practice, Ziad Ali and Natalia Pinilla discuss the diagnosis of culprit lesions in such patients. The first tool to rely on is intravascular imaging, even if imaging does not yet allow the interpretation of ambiguous or residual lesions....

Results from the DCR4Contrast (Dynamic Coronary Roadmap for Contrast reduction) Trial

16 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023

Javier Escaned joins Ajay Kirtane to discuss the DCR4C Trial he conducted, and more specifically to present the main results.

The framework of the study was the contrast reduction during PCI, which is closely related to what is now known as ultra-low contrast PCI, and which mainly concerns particularly...
