Intravascular ultrasound, optical coherence tomography and near infrared spectroscopy

3rd Department of Cardiology, Medical University of Silesia in Katowice, Katowice, Poland

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), optical coherence tomography (OCT) and near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) allow for a thorough analysis of the atheroma's morphology in vivo. Moreover, it helps to guide coronary intervention and assess the results of stenting. IVUS, OCT and NIRS provide unique data about the analyzed tissue and thus all of them complement each other. Their application in daily clinical practice helps to understand the underlying pathology of disease and may contribute to the improvement of outcomes in coronary interventions.
