What it is?
IVUS (Intravascular imaging) and OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) are advanced imaging techniques used during coronary interventions to visualize blood vessels in detail.

How it’s done
A miniature ultrasound or light-based catheter is inserted into the artery, capturing real-time, high-resolution images to guide precise stent placement or plaque removal.

What are the benefits?

• Ensures precise stent placement
• Minimizes the risk of artery re-narrowing
• Provides better outcomes in complex cases

What are the risks and how to avoid them?

• Minor bleeding or bruising at the insertion site
• Rare allergic reactions to contrast dye
  Risk reduction: Performed by skilled hands, risks are minimal. Monitoring and managing any immediate reactions ensures safety.
