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.
