Cardiovascular Repair: Coronary Imaging and the Evolution of PCI

Salvatore Brugaletta joins host Catherine Glass to explore how intracoronary imaging has transformed modern percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). From intravascular ultrasound and optical CT to stent optimisation, vascular dysfunction, and AI-enhanced image interpretation, this episode examines the technologies improving procedural precision and patient outcomes.  Timestamps:  0:55 – IVUS and OCT  2:58 – Endothelial recovery  4:55 – Stent failure mechanisms  6:19 – Barriers to adoption  8:18 – Innovations in imaging
