Bøger af Yasuhiro Honda

In this issue of Interventional Cardiology Clinics, guest editor Dr. Yasuhiro Honda brings his considerable expertise to the topic of Intracoronary Imaging and Its Use in Interventional Cardiology. Intracoronary imaging has the capability of accurately measuring vessel and stenosis dimensions, assessing vessel integrity, characterizing lesion morphology, and guiding optimal percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).  In this issue, top experts bring you fully up to date with recent advances in this fast-changing field. Contains 15 practice-oriented topics IVUS-guided PCI; IVUS+OCT hybrid catheter system; OCT in vulnerable plaque and ACS; NIRS-guided PCI; serial monitoring of disease progression or regression; assessment of cardiac allograft vasculopathy; intravascular imaging-based physiologic assessment; and more.  Provides in-depth clinical reviews on intracoronary imaging and its use in interventional cardiology, offering actionable insights for clinical practice.  Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is a cardiovascular imaging technology using a specially designed catheter with a miniaturized ultrasound probe for the assessment of vascular anatomy with detailed visualization of arterial layers. Over the past two decades, this technology has developed into an indispensable tool for research and clinical practice in cardiovascular medicine, offering the opportunity to gather diagnostic information about the process of atherosclerosis in vivo, and to directly observe the effects of various interventions on the plaque and arterial wall. This book aims to give a comprehensive overview of this rapidly evolving technique from basic principles and instrumentation to research and clinical applications with future perspectives.
