Illustration showing how the near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), of NIRS-IVUS, intracoronary imaging system can help identify angiographically non-obstructive lesions with high-risk characteristics for future adverse cardiac outcomes. The system can identify unstable, vulnerable plaques.

A complex PCI case to revascularize a chronic total occlusion (CTO) at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. Complex PCI and CHIP cases are increasing patient volumes in the cath lab and using a minimally invasive approach in patients who otherwise would have been sent for CABG. Pictured is Khaldoon Alaswad, M.D. (right) who is proctoring a fellow in treating CTOs.
