Accelerating the trend towards less invasive procedures. Four major trends are driving the demand for less invasive cardiovascular procedures: improved non-invasive diagnostic and therapeutic techniques; cost-containment pressures from payors; increasing incidence of vascular and structural heart disease; and patient demand for less invasive procedures which require shorter hospital stays and allow more rapid recovery. This shift to less invasive procedures requires diagnostic modalities that can provide more comprehensive clinical information than angiography. Our IVUS products offer continuous, real-time, three-dimensional imaging, plaque visualization, color-coded identification of plaque composition, and automatic drawing of lumen and plaque borders allowing for automatic vessel sizing. Our FM products offer physicians a simple pressure and flow based method to determine whether stenting or additional percutaneous intervention is required. We believe our combination of IVUS enhancements and functional assessment is instrumental in facilitating less invasive procedures

Exhibit 10.4

Loan and Security Agreement

This LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT dated the Effective Date between SILICON VALLEY BANK (“Bank”), whose address is 3003 Tasman Drive, Santa Clara, California 95054 and VOLCANO THERAPEUTICS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), whose address is 26061 Merit Circle, Suite 103, Laguna Hills, California 92653, provides the terms on which Bank will lend to Borrower and Borrower will repay Bank. The parties agree as follows:

1. ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS.

Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement will be construed following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. The term “financial statements” includes the notes and schedules. The terms “including” and “includes” always mean “including (or includes) without limitation,” in this or any Loan Document.

2. LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.

2.1. Promise to Pay.

Borrower promises to pay Bank the unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions and interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Credit Extensions.

2.1.1. Revolving Advances.

(a) Bank will make Advances not exceeding the Credit Limit shown on Schedule 1. Amounts borrowed under this Section may be repaid and reborrowed during the term of this Agreement.

(b) To obtain an Advance, Borrower must notify Bank by facsimile or telephone by 12:00 p.m. Pacific time on the Business Day the Advance is to be made. Borrower must promptly confirm the notification by delivering to Bank the Payment/Advance Form attached as Exhibit B. Bank will credit Advances to Borrower’s deposit account. Bank may make Advances under this Agreement based on instructions from a Responsible Officer or his or her designee or without instructions if the Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due. Bank may rely on any telephone notice given by a person whom Bank believes is a Responsible Officer or designee. Borrower will indemnify Bank for any loss Bank suffers due to such reliance.

2.1.2. Letters of Credit Sublimit.

Bank will issue or have issued letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit”) for Borrower’s account not exceeding the amount shown on Schedule 2. Borrower shall secure all of Borrower’s reimbursement obligations relating to all outstanding Letters of Credit by unencumbered cash on terms acceptable to Bank on or before the Revolving Maturity Date if the term of this Agreement is not extended by Bank. Borrower agrees to execute any further documentation in connection with the Letters of Credit as Bank may reasonably request.

2.1.3. Foreign Exchange Sublimit.

If there is availability under the Committed Revolving Line and the Borrowing Base for the making of an Advance in the amount of the applicable FX Reserve relating to the proposed FX Forward Contract, then Borrower may enter into foreign exchange forward contracts with the Bank under which Borrower commits to purchase from or sell to Bank a set amount of foreign currency more than one business day

after the contract date (the “FX Forward Contract”). Bank will subtract 10% of each outstanding FX Forward Contract from the foreign exchange sublimit which is set forth in Schedule 2 (the “FX Reserve”). The total FX Forward Contracts at any one time may not exceed 10 times the amount of the FX Reserve. Bank may terminate the FX Forward Contracts if an Event of Default occurs.

2.1.4 Cash Management Services Sublimit.

Borrower may use up to the amount shown on Schedule 2 (the “Cash Management Services Sublimit”) for Bank’s cash management services, which may include merchant services, direct deposit of payroll, business credit card, and check cashing services identified in various cash management services agreements related to such services (the “Cash Management Services”). The aggregate amounts utilized under the Cash Management Services Sublimit will at all times reduce the amount otherwise available to be borrowed under the Committed Revolving Line and new Cash Management Services may be extended only if the amount of such proposed new extension of such services would otherwise be available for the making of an Advance in such amount. Any amounts Bank pays on behalf of Borrower or any amounts that are not paid by Borrower for any Cash Management Services will be treated as Advances under the Committed Revolving Line and will accrue interest at the rate for Advances.

2.2. Overadvances.

If Borrower’s Obligations under Section 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.1.3 or 2.1.4 exceed the applicable lending limitations set forth above whether with respect to any specific sublimit provisions or otherwise in the aggregate, Borrower must immediately pay Bank any such excess.

2.3. Interest Rate, Payments.

(a) Interest Rate. Advances accrue interest on the outstanding principal balance at the interest rate set forth on Schedule 2. After an Event of Default, Obligations accrue interest at 5 percent above the rate effective immediately before the Event of Default. The interest rate increases or decreases when the Prime Rate changes. Interest is computed on a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

(b) Payments. Interest due on the Committed Revolving Line is payable on the first day of each month. Bank may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts maintained with Bank, including the Accounts shown on Schedule 1 for principal and interest payments owing or any amounts Borrower owes Bank. Bank will promptly notify Borrower when it debits Borrower’s accounts. These debits are not a set-off. Payments received after 12:00 noon Pacific time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and additional fees or interest accrue.

2.4. Fees.

Borrower will pay:

(a) Facility Fee. A fully earned, non refundable Facility Fee in the amount shown on Schedule 2, which shall be due on the Closing Date; and

Borrower has not changed its state of formation or its organizational structure or type or any organizational number (if any) assigned by its jurisdiction of formation.

The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized, and do not conflict with Borrower’s formation documents, nor constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower is bound. Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which it is a

party or by which it is bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

5.2. Collateral.

Borrower has good title to the Collateral and the Intellectual Property, free of Liens except Permitted Liens and the pledge of specific patents of the Borrower (having registered patent numbers in the United States Patent and Trademark Office of 5,871,449; 5,924,997; 6,245,026; and 6,536,949) in connection with the Guaranty dated July 3, 2003 by Borrower given to Philips Electronics N.V. relating to indebtedness of Pacific Rim Medical Ventures Corp. owing to Philips Electronics N.V.

Each Account with respect to which Advances are requested by Borrower shall, on the date each Advance is requested and made, represent an undisputed bona fide existing unconditional obligation of the account debtor created by the sale, delivery, and acceptance of goods or the rendition of services in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business. The Collateral is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as at a warehouse). In the event that Borrower, after the date hereof, intends to store or otherwise deliver the Collateral to such a bailee, then Borrower will receive the prior written consent of Bank and such bailee must acknowledge in writing that the bailee is holding such Collateral for the benefit of Bank.

Borrower is the sole owner of the Intellectual Property, except for non-exclusive licenses granted to its customers in the ordinary course of business. Each Patent is, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, valid and enforceable and no part of the Intellectual Property has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and no claim has been made that any part of the Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party, except to the extent such claim could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

5.3. Litigation.

Except as shown in Schedule 1 hereto, there are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower’s Responsible Officers and legal counsel, threatened by or against Borrower or any Subsidiary, which could result in damages or costs to Borrower or any Subsidiary of $100,000 or more, or in which an adverse decision could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

5.4. No Material Adverse Change in Financial Statements.

Borrower and each Subsidiary has timely filed all required tax returns and paid, or made

adequate provision to pay, all material taxes, except those being contested in good faith with adequate reserves under GAAP and which do not result in any tax lien on any of the Collateral or the Intellectual Property. Borrower and each Subsidiary have obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all government authorities that are necessary to continue its business as currently conducted, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change.

Borrower does not own any stock, partnership interest or other equity securities except for Permitted Investments.

5.7. Representations; Full Disclosure.

The information in the Representations previously submitted to Bank continues to be true and correct as of the date hereof.

(b) Stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank and terminate the Committed Revolving Line;

(c) Settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with account debtors for amounts, on terms and in any order that Bank considers advisable;

Borrower will assemble the Collateral if Bank requires and make it available as Bank designates. Bank may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower

grants Bank a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies;

(e) Apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower;

(f) Ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral.

(g) Dispose of the Collateral according to the Code.

9.2. Power of Attorney.

Effective only when an Event of Default occurs and continues, Borrower irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney to: (i) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (ii) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against account debtors, (iii) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (iv) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with account debtors, for amounts and on terms Bank determines reasonable; and (v) transfer the Collateral into the name of Bank or a third party as the Code permits. Bank may exercise the power of attorney to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred. Bank’s appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Bank’s rights and powers, are coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.

9.3. Accounts Collection.

When an Event of Default occurs and continues, Bank may notify any Person owing Borrower money of Bank’s security interest in the funds and demand payment of, and collect any Accounts, general intangibles and other Collateral, and, in connection therewith, Borrower irrevocably authorizes Bank to endorse or sign Borrower’s name on all collections, receipts, instruments and other documents, and, in Bank’s good faith business judgment, to grant extensions of time to pay, compromise claims and settle Accounts and general intangibles for less than face value.

9.4. Bank Expenses.

If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.5 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount, which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Bank may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then applicable rate and secured by the Collateral. No payments by Bank shall be deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default.

9.5. Bank’s Liability for Collateral.

EXHIBIT E

ASSET BASED TERMS

The following are the “Asset Based Terms”:

(1) Schedules and Documents relating to Accounts. Borrower shall deliver to Bank transaction reports, Advance requests, schedules of Accounts, and schedules of collections, all on Bank’s standard forms; provided, however, that Borrower’s failure to execute and deliver the same shall not affect or limit Bank’s security interest and other rights in all of Borrower’s Accounts. If requested by Bank, Borrower shall furnish Bank with copies (or, at Bank’s request, originals) of all contracts, orders, invoices, and other similar documents, and all shipping instructions, delivery receipts, bills of lading, and other evidence of delivery, for any goods the sale or disposition of which gave rise to such Accounts, and Borrower warrants the genuineness of all of the foregoing. Borrower shall also furnish to Bank an aged accounts receivable trial balance in such form and at such intervals as Bank shall request. In addition, Borrower shall deliver to Bank the originals of all instruments, chattel paper, security agreements, guarantees and other documents and property evidencing or securing any Accounts, immediately upon receipt thereof and in the same form as received, with all necessary endorsements, all of which shall be with recourse. Borrower shall also provide Bank with copies of all credit memos from time to time on request by Bank.

(2) Collection of Accounts. Borrower shall hold all payments on, and proceeds of, Accounts and all other Collateral in trust for Bank, and Borrower shall immediately deliver all such payments and proceeds to Bank in their original form, duly endorsed, to be applied to the Obligations in such order as Bank shall determine. Borrower agrees that it will not commingle such payments and proceeds with any of Borrower’s other funds or property, but will hold such payments and proceeds separate and apart from such other funds and property and in an express trust for Bank. Bank may, in its discretion, require that all proceeds of Collateral be deposited by Borrower into a lockbox account, or such other “blocked account” as Bank may specify, pursuant to a blocked account agreement in such form as Bank may specify. Bank or its designee may, at any time, notify Account Debtors that the Accounts have been assigned to Bank. Nothing in this Exhibit limits the restrictions on Transfers of Collateral set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.

Silicon shall not, however, be required to credit Borrower’s account for the amount of any item of payment which is unsatisfactory to Silicon in its good faith business judgment, and Silicon may charge Borrower’s loan account for the amount of any item of payment which is returned to Silicon unpaid.

(4) Loan Requests. Without limiting the right of Bank to cease making Advances on an Event of Default, requests for Advances shall be in writing and shall be accompanied by a current Transaction Report on Bank’s standard form.

(5) Reserves. Without limiting the right of Bank to cease making Advances on an Event of Default, Bank shall have the right, from time to time, to establish and deduct the following reserves from the amount of Advances, Letters of Credit and other financial accommodations under the lending formula(s) provided in Schedule 2: (a) reserves to reflect events, conditions contingencies or risks which, as determined by Bank in good faith, do or may affect adversely (1) the Collateral or any other property which is security for the Obligations or its Value (including without limitation any increase in delinquencies of Accounts), (ii) the assets, business or prospects of Borrower, or (iii) the security interests and other rights of Bank in the (Collateral (including the enforceability, perfection and priority thereof); and(b)
