Currently, IVOCT is being pursued as a method for improving PCI outcomes and may have some utility for detecting microstructural features of vulnerable plaque. While IVOCT is very powerful, it is incapable of detecting more than superficial architectural morphology and thus does cannot completely characterize intracoronary lesions. In our laboratory, we have been developing newer IVOCT technologies that address this gap. Multimodality technologies \u00a0such as OCT-near infrared fluorescence (OCT-NIRF) and OCT-near infrared spectroscopy (OCT-NIRS) offer the potential to image complementary structural and molecular\/chemical information. A more advanced 1-\u00b5m-resolution form of OCT (\u00b5OCT) makes it possible to see cells and sub cellular structures in the vessel wall using a coronary catheter. This next generation of OCT technology will improve our capacity to better understand human coronary atherosclerosis and precisely characterize coronary phenotypes in individual patients.<\/span><\/p>\n Matthias Nahrendorf MD, PhD<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Professor, Harvard Medical School<\/span><\/p>\n “Macrophages in cardiovascular health”<\/span><\/p>\n Isabelle Deschenes, PhD<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Professor, Case Western Reserve University<\/span><\/p>\n “Identifying Mechanisms Linked to Sudden Cardiac Death”<\/span><\/p>\n Douglas Lewandowski, PhD<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Professor of Internal Medicine, Ohio State University\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n “Targeting Maladaptive Metabolic Remodeling in and Around the Failing Heart”<\/span><\/p>\n Navin K.
