Abstract

AIMS: To test the hypothesis that near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) combined with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) would provide novel information of human coronary plaque characterization. METHODS AND RESULTS: Greyscale-IVUS, virtual histology (VH)-IVUS, and NIRS were compared in 131 native lesions ...
