LipiScan
Subjects who have at least one native coronary artery imaged with the LipiScan CIS.
|
Device: Intravascular Near Infrared Spectroscopy
Intravascular imaging with a catheter based spectroscopy system.
Other Name: LipiScan Coronary Imaging System |
- Identify associations of LCP with angiographic or symptomatic presentation of coronary artery disease in a catheterization laboratory population [ Time Frame: after completion of the study - during data analysis ]
- Identification of associations that LCP or the Lipid Core Burden Index (LCBI) may have with atherosclerosis appearance, progression, regression, and/or cardiac event [ Time Frame: Upto 2 years post procedure(baseline) ]
