Intravascular Imaging

Intravascular Imaging is a private cardiovascular medical device company developing next-generation intravascular imaging systems for coronary artery disease. The company combines intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) with near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) to provide both structural and biologic information inside coronary vessels during catheter-based procedures. Its lead product is a proprietary 3-French NIRF-IVUS catheter and associated imaging system intended to improve plaque characterization and guide percutaneous coronary intervention. The company was created in collaboration with Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School and the Technical University of Munich to commercialize novel cardiovascular imaging technologies. Based on publicly available information, its technology appears to be in preclinical-to-early translational development rather than in late-stage clinical commercialization.
