Intracoronary Imaging and its use in Interventional Cardiology, An Issue of Interventional Cardiology Clinics The Clinics: Internal Medicine Series

In this issue of Interventional Cardiology Clinics, guest editor Dr. Yasuhiro Honda brings his considerable expertise to the topic of Intracoronary Imaging and Its Use in Interventional Cardiology. Intracoronary imaging has the capability of accurately measuring vessel and stenosis dimensions, assessing vessel integrity, characterizing lesion morphology, and guiding optimal percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).  In this issue, top experts bring you fully up to date with recent advances in this fast-changing field.

• Contains 15 practice-oriented topics IVUS-guided PCI; IVUS+OCT hybrid catheter system; OCT in vulnerable plaque and ACS; NIRS-guided PCI; serial monitoring of disease progression or regression; assessment of cardiac allograft vasculopathy; intravascular imaging-based physiologic assessment; and more. 

• Provides in-depth clinical reviews on intracoronary imaging and its use in interventional cardiology, offering actionable insights for clinical practice. 

• Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.
