Why Intravascular Imaging? With the best cardiologist in Bangalore Dr. Ameet Oswal. Intravascular Imaging is a technique that helps your cardiologist to get inside the artery. This is done with a camera-like device that provides a real-time view of the artery of heart. It gives information like severity of blockage, abnormalities like calcium, dissection and thrombus. It can also be used in planning for the insertion of stents. During the procedure, the cardiologist will make a small incision in your groin to gain access to a large artery. Your cardiologist, with a slim guide wire, will gently advance the wire to the arteries of your heart. There are three ways that this technique is executed: • IVUS (Intravascular Ultra Sound) • OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) • FFR (Fractional Flow Reserve) • Intravascular Imaging in Basavanagudi || Dr. Ameet Oswal
