At EuroPCR 2026, we will present the clinical role of intracoronary near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in detecting lipid-rich plaques and supporting plaque characterization in coronary artery disease.
By combining NIRS-based plaque composition analysis with the structural insights provided by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), physicians can gain a deeper understanding of coronary lesions beyond angiography alone.
Join our sponsored symposium and visit the NIPRO booth to explore how this dual-imaging approach can contribute to decision-making in stable and acute coronary syndromes.

This session will explore how combining structural vessel imaging (IVUS) with plaque composition analysis (NIRS) can enhance lesion assessment and guide treatment strategies during PCI.
Session topics include:
- The complementary value of IVUS and NIRS in coronary imaging
- Understanding lipid-rich plaques and their clinical significance
- Imaging strategies in stable coronary artery disease
- The role of plaque characterization in acute coronary syndromes
- Case-based discussions on imaging-guided PCI
