Abstract: Intravascular imaging modalities have an imperative role in contemporary cardiovascular research. Currently, there are several invasive imaging modalities available in the cardiac catheterization laboratory and new technologies are under development. In the current review, we aimed to provide an update on the research applications of contemporary intravascular imaging tools in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. For the purpose of this review, we separately discuss imaging tools for assessment of epicardia… Show more

“…Further, angiography only reveals epicardial collateral channels and fails to provide information on myocardial perfusion, thus limiting their value as a quantitative tool [14,15]. Quantification of recruitable collaterals is more accurately accomplished by the use of fractional collateral flow reserve, described in the current issue of this journal [3].…”

“…Fortunately, in the previous two decades, there has been an explosion of invasive physiologic and anatomic technologies that complement the diagnostic capabilities of coronary angiography and have emerged as gold standard modalities for uncovering the precise mechanisms of ischemia as required in the case of our patient (Figure 1). 7 These novel modalities allow precise identification of whether myocardial blood flow limitation exists at the epicardial, microvascular, or combined epicardial and microvascular level, or might be due to dynamic obstruction related to coronary vasospasm.…”

“…1 Pressure-derived fractional flow reserve is a more frequently used and extensively validated 13,14 and can be used to physiologically evaluate myocardial bridges. Escaned et al 15 demonstrated that the use of diastolic pressure ratios rather than mean pressure ratios may be more accurate in unmasking the physiologic significance of myocardial bridges.…”
