Key result
Intravascular imaging enhances ACS management by identifying vulnerable plaques and guiding PCI.
Why the study?
Recent advances in imaging, artificial intelligence, and computational modelling have expanded the role of intravascular imaging in ACS, requiring a summary to facilitate appropriate clinical use.
Intravascular imaging plays a crucial role in managing ACS by identifying atherothrombotic causes, detecting vulnerable plaques, and guiding percutaneous coronary interventions.

Supports intravascular imaging in ACS; leaves open need for RCTs to confirm outcome benefits.
Intravascular imaging is crucial for managing acute coronary syndrome (ACS) by identifying atherothrombotic causes, detecting vulnerable plaques, and guiding percutaneous coronary interventions. Over the past decade, advances in imaging, post-processing, hybrid morphological and molecular techniques, artificial intelligence, and computational modelling have enhanced clinical applications. This review summarizes current intravascular imaging modalities, their utility in ACS patients, and future directions to facilitate their appropriate use in clinical practice.
