Guiding intervention for complex coronary lesions by optical coherence tomography or intravascular ultrasound
06 Nov 2023
The OCTIVUS trial was a prospective multicentre, open-label, randomised controlled trial comparing OCT guided PCI with IVUS guided PCI. In this pre-specified sub-study, the authors report the outcomes in patients with complex coronary lesions undergoing OCT- or IVUS-guided PCI.

The unimaginable evolution of interventional cardiology from imagination to imaging
07 Nov 2023
Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe... Read this editorial by Flavio Ribichini, Martine Gilard and Salvatore Brugaletta which introduces this section dedicated to cardiovascular imaging. ...
OCTIVUS: OCT- vs. IVUS-Guided PCI
27 Aug 2023
Ali Nazmi Calik interviews Duk-Woo Park & Do-Yoon Kang regarding the results of the OCTIVUS trial which were presented during the ESC Congress 2023 in Amsterdam.
Key message is that optical coherence tomography (OCT) is non-inferior to intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) for guiding percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Stent failure management - Contemporary management options - Part 2
18 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
In this session, explore the evolving causes of restenosis in contemporary practice and understand how to tailor in-stent restenosis treatment based on its underlying mechanism. Discover why imaging is crucial for selecting the appropriate treatment in cases of in-stent restenosis, and learn that drug-coated balloons are...
Coronary CT reading
18 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
Watch this session to master reading and interpreting standard coronary CT angiography images, to learn how to determine lesion location, quantify stenosis, and to characterize plaques from CT imaging, while gaining the skills to differentiate between image artifacts and true coronary stenosis or plaques.
Artificial intelligence: current applications in coronary image analysis in its potential in treatment planning
18 May 2023 – From EuroPCR 2023
