Abstract

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains the mainstay management of symptomatic obstructive stable coronary artery disease (despite optimal medical treatment) and acute coronary syndrome. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has emerged as an adjunct to angiography, permitting better assessment of the coronary lesion and stent apposition. Data from multiple studies have demonstrated improved clinical and procedural outcomes with IVUS-guided PCI. This review discusses the use of IVUS, with emphasis on technique, parameters, and applications during coronary interventions. In addition, the clinical outcomes data are highlighted with IVUS compared with conventional angiography-guided PCI.
