This coronary catheter was part of a project by James Muller and his company, InfraReDx, to develop a system for identifying vulnerable plaque using imaging in patients to aid in the prevention of acute coronary syndrome. This catheter was developed for use in the ex-vivo study CDEV3 which used pig carcasses and human arteries. It was donated to the Harvard Medical Library in 2016 as part of the James Muller Papers (H MS c565).
