About the Intravascular Guidance Center
on Angioplasty.Org
To assist in educating the professional and patient population in the U.S.
about these new imaging, measurement and therapetic techniques, Angioplasty.Org
created
the "Intravascular Guidance
Center" in 2006: a special section which is devoted to information
and news for both patients and physicians about intravascular ultrasound (IVUS),
fractional flow reserve (FFR), optical coherence tomography (OCT) and other intravascular
modalities. The Intravascular Guidance Center features overview articles, the
latest news and interviews with leading practitioners of these techniques, such
as Drs. Antonio Colombo, John McBarron Hodgson, Augusto Pichard, William Fearon
and Nico Pijls. This special section receives
support from Volcano
Corporation.
