AI Article Synopsis
- Coronary angiography is a traditional method for guiding percutaneous coronary interventions, but new imaging techniques like intravascular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography are gaining popularity.
- These advanced imaging methods allow for more detailed visualization of heart lesions, even those that cannot be seen with angiography alone.
- The review focuses on comparing recent research findings about how these intravascular imaging techniques can improve both immediate and long-term results of coronary interventions.
Article Abstract
Although coronary angiography has been well established as a standard modality for percutaneous coronary intervention guidance, recent developments in intravascular imaging techniques, such as intravascular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography, have become increasingly adopted, enabling direct detailed lesion visualization, including lesions beyond the scope of assessment using exclusively angiography. Intravascular imaging modalities have been reported to potentially improve both short- and long-term percutaneous intervention outcomes. This review aims to provide a comparative summary of recent advancements in research regarding the clinical applications and outcomes of intravascular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography.
