Summary: Advancements in stent technology and endovascular devices have improved the safety and effectiveness of second-generation drug-eluting stents. However, in-stent restenosis and stent thrombosis still pose challenges in percutaneous coronary intervention. Recent studies have highlighted the value of intravascular imaging in identifying causes of stent failure and guiding therapy.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the neointimal response of coronary drug-eluting stents in swine with significant coronary atherosclerosis. The results showed that in swine with mild atherosclerosis, the stents induced fibrotic neointima, while in swine with severe atherosclerosis, incomplete healing was observed.

Summary: Coronary angiography has been the standard for diagnosing coronary artery disease and guiding percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Intravascular imaging (IVI) technologies are used in conjunction with angiography to better assess plaque morphology and optimize PCI. IVI has utility in preintervention assessment, procedural guidance, and postintervention evaluation. IVI's role in reducing major adverse cardiac events in complex lesions is emerging, and further studies are underway. This paper provides an overview of available IVI technologies, reviews evidence supporting their use in PCI, and advocates for broader utilization.

Summary: The study evaluated the diagnostic performance of HR-IVUS in detecting abnormal post-stent findings, finding that it had low sensitivity for identifying stent edge dissection, intrastent tissue protrusion, and ISA. The assessment of abnormal post-stent findings may be underestimated due to the low sensitivity of HR-IVUS.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing the clinical outcomes of optical coherence tomography (OCT)-guided versus angiography-guided and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided coronary stent implantation. The results showed that OCT-guided PCI was associated with increased minimal stent area compared to angiography and reduced all-cause and cardiovascular mortality compared to angiography-guided PCI. However, OCT-guided and IVUS-guided PCI had similar post-PCI outcomes.

Summary: This meta-analysis suggests that intravascular imaging-guided drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation is associated with a significantly reduced risk of target lesion revascularization, target vessel revascularization, cardiac death, major adverse cardiac events, and stent thrombosis compared to angiography-guided DES implantation. However, there was no significant difference in myocardial infarction and all-cause death between the two groups.

Summary: The use of intravascular imaging (IVI)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been increasing among Medicare beneficiaries in the USA. IVI-guided PCI is associated with lower rates of major adverse cardiovascular events and target lesion revascularization compared with standard angiographic guidance.

Summary: The study found that the Apo B/A1 ratio was higher in ACS patients than CCS patients, and also higher in patients with plaque rupture, erosion, or thrombus. A high Apo B/A1 ratio was associated with a high percentage of vulnerable plaques, and negatively related to fibrous cap thickness in lipid-rich plaques.

Summary: The angiography-derived radial wall strain (RWS) was found to be associated with plaque composition and vulnerability features as assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT). In patients with intermediate coronary stenosis, RWS was positively correlated with lipid plaque burden and the thinnest fibrous cap thickness, while negatively correlated with fibrous cap thickness. An RWSmax >12% could serve as an angiographic predictor for lipid-to-cap ratio (LCR) >0.33 and thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA).

Summary: This study investigated the ability of quantitative plaque characteristics from intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) images taken just prior to stent implantation to predict neoatherosclerosis after implantation. The results showed that the surface area of the fibrous cap was the strongest predictor of neoatherosclerosis development after stent implantation.

Summary: Coronary angiography, although widely used, has limitations in assessing coronary artery disease. Intravascular imaging technologies provide more accurate information about the coronary arteries and have been shown to improve patient outcomes.

Summary: Photoacoustic (PA) imaging can monitor flowing blood in microvascular and capillaries, accurately estimate blood flow velocity, and extract functional parameters. This study demonstrates a quantitative method to estimate flow velocities based on normalized first order field autocorrelation function, showing an angle independent flow velocity imaging method. The decorrelation time of signals acquired over frames is related to flow speed.

Summary: Optical coherence elastography (OCE) is a technique that deduces the biomechanical properties of tissues by visualizing tissue strain. In this study, intravascular OCE was successfully performed using a specific catheter and OCT system, enabling the capture of dynamic strain. By providing both tissue structure and stiffness information simultaneously with conventional OCT images, the technique offers valuable insights.
