Ultrasonic characterization of the pulmonary venous wall: echographic and histological correlation [PDF]
Background: Pulmonary vein isolation with radiofrequency catheter ablation techniques is used to prevent recurrences of human atrial fibrillation. Visualization of the architecture at the venoatrial junction could be crucial for these ablative techniques.

A new approach for improving coronary plaque component analysis based on intravascular ultrasound images [PDF]
Virtual histology intravascular ultrasound (VH-IVUS) is a clinically available technique for atherosclerosis plaque characterization. It, however, suffers from a poor longitudinal resolution due to electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated acquisition.

Intravascular ultrasound imaging
Intravascular ultrasound imaging is a useful and promising modality that is capable of demonstrating the structure of blood vessel walls. It also provides a quantitative assessment of the amount of atheroma present that cannot be visualized by angiography.

Interventional MRA and intravascular imaging [PDF]
Several attributes make magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) attractive for guidance of intravascular therapeutic procedures, including high soft tissue contrast, imaging in arbitrary oblique planes, lack of ionizing radiation, and the ability to provide functional information, such as flow velocity or flow volume per unit time, in conjunction with ...

Intravascular Large B-Cell Lymphoma Presenting as Dementia and Hemolytic Anemia [PDF]
Background: Intravascular lymphoma (IVL) is an uncommon disease characterized by atypical lymphoid cells growing inside the lumina of small vessels. The diversity of clinical presentation due to possible involvement of multiple organs often complicates ...

Coronary atherosclerosis scoring with semiquantitative CCTA risk scores for prediction of major adverse cardiac events: Propensity score-based analysis of diabetic and non-diabetic patients. [PDF]
AIMS:We aimed to compare semiquantitative coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) risk scores - which score presence, extent, composition, stenosis and/or location of coronary artery disease (CAD) - and their prognostic value between patients ...
