This document summarizes a presentation about minimally invasive image-guided cardiovascular therapies. It discusses various catheter-based imaging technologies like intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) that can provide images of the inside of blood vessels and heart structures. These emerging technologies are able to characterize plaque and identify vulnerable plaques through methods like spectroscopy and tissue characterization. The document also discusses potential applications of these imaging technologies in areas like valvular interventions through guidance and visualization of procedures. In general, it promotes the benefits of minimally invasive image-guided approaches for cardiovascular applications.
