Angioscopy
Abstract
Angioscopy provides a magnified, real-time, 360-degree view of the endoluminal surface of blood vessels, yielding unique information that is often complementary to conventional angiography. This unique perspective can significantly enhance one's perception and appreciation of endovascular disease. Although angioscopy is primarily used as a research tool, its ability to characterize accurately the morphology and color of atherosclerotic lesions may lead to improved treatment and better clinical outcomes.
