Comparison of left atrial appendage measurements between conventional transesophageal echocardiography and “Virtual TEE” reconstructed from computed tomography for pre-procedural planning of device closure
For pre-procedural planning of left atrial appendage (LAA) closure, sizing is crucial. Although transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a standard modality, cardiac computed tomography (CT) is also widely us...

Evaluation of the thickness of coronary calcium by 60-MHz intravascular ultrasound: head-to-head comparison with optical frequency domain imaging
The region behind the coronary calcium could not be visualized by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) because of acoustic shadow. However, some pathological studies have shown that IVUS delineated the vessel borde...

Open AccessClinical expert consensus document on drug-coated balloon for coronary artery disease from the Japanese Association of Cardiovascular Intervention and Therapeutics
Drug-coated balloon (DCB) technology was developed to deliver the antiproliferative drugs to the vessel wall without leaving any permanent prosthesis or durable polymers. The absence of foreign material can re...

IVUS-Guided PCI Procedures and Methods
In the era of bare metal stent (BMS), excessive full lesion coverage was not recommended because stent length was an independent contributor to in-stent restenosis. Therefore, “spot stenting” was widely accept...

Open AccessPeriprocedural and 30-day outcomes of robotic-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention used in the intravascular imaging guidance
In recent years, there have been several reports on robotic-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention (R-PCI), but few studies have been conducted on R-PCI performed under intravascular imaging guidance. To ...

Comparison of MECHANISM of early and late vascular responses following treatment of ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction with two different everolimus-eluting stents: a randomized controlled trial of biodegradable versus durable polymer stents
The early and mid-term arterial healing profile of biodegradable polymer-coated everolimus-eluting stents (BP-EES) is unclear, especially in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) culprit lesions. ...

High-definition intravascular ultrasound versus optical frequency domain imaging for the detection of calcium modification and fracture in heavily calcified coronary lesion
While optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI) can delineate calcium modification and fracture, the capability of high-definition intravascular ultrasound (HD-IVUS) for detecting these remains unclear. This stu...

Open AccessSafety and feasibility of retrograde INOUE-BALLOON for balloon aortic valvuloplasty without rapid ventricular pacing during transcatheter aortic valve replacement
Rapid ventricular pacing (RVP) is commonly employed during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR); however, frequent TAVR is associated with worse prognoses. The retrograde INOUE-BALLOON® (IB) allows ballo...
