- Narrative review
Study context
- Population
- Coronary patients undergoing intracoronary imaging
- Comparison
- Hybrid (multimodality) intracoronary imaging catheters vs standalone intracoronary imaging
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Plaque characterization and high-risk plaque identification with hybrid vs standalone intracoronary imaging
- NIRS-IVUS-based studies showed promising results for identification of high-risk plaques
- Postmortem histology: hybrid imaging catheters enable more accurate characterization of plaque morphology than standalone imaging
