Overview

IVUS and OCT improve clinical outcomes in complex coronary artery disease, suggesting cost-effective benefits for PCI procedures.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the role of intravascular imaging in percutaneous coronary interventions.
  • Discussed the applications of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) in PCI.
  • Analyzed the advantages of both modalities regarding vessel morphology and plaque assessment.
  • Considered clinical guidance recommendations and factors influencing real-world adoption.
  • IVUS and OCT improve procedural success and clinical outcomes in complex cases.
  • The utility of imaging is heightened in complicated coronary lesions, enhancing stent expansion and apposition.
  • Low real-world adoption rates are linked to operator proficiency and reimbursement challenges.
