Imaging during percutaneous coronary intervention for optimizing outcomes

Abstract: Angiography is the current gold standard for imaging during percutaneous coronary interventions but has significant limitations. Catheter-based intravascular imaging techniques such as intravascular ultrasound and the more recent optical coherence tomography have the potential to overcome these limitations and thus optimize clinical outcomes. In this update, we discussed the current applications of the available imaging techniques, existing evidence, continuing unmet needs, and potential areas for further rese… Show more

“…The technologies range from angiography and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), which offer an unparalleled view inside the arteries, to fractional flow reserve (FFR), which quantifies the functional significance of stenosis. Other imaging techniques, like intracardiac echo (ICE), which enables real-time images of the heart, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), which assesses plaque composition, and optical coherence tomography (OCT), which unveils microscopic details of vessel walls, are also gaining popularity [58,59].…”

“…OCT utilizes infrared light, has better spatial resolution allowing better view of superficial surface of vessel wall, but the penetration isn't as good as IVUS. IVUS on the other hand is ultrasound based, and has poorer resolution but can map the whole thickness of the vessel wall [13].…”

“…Coronary imaging guidance during PCI is one of the key determinants of treatment outcomes. Imaging is integral to every stage of PCI, such as assessment of lesion severity, preprocedural planning, optimization, and management of immediate complications 18 , 19 . OCT has significant advantages for characterizing coronary calcification that typically has a signal-poor area with sharply delineated borders 20 .…”
