Intra Vascular Ultrasound (IVUS) Imaging to Play a Key Role in Increasing Clinical Success of Interventional Cardiology

Summary

Angiography is the most widely used technique for diagnosis of coronary heart disease. Angiography reliably identifies luminal dimension of the epicardial tree with high resolution and remains vital for detecting severely stenotic coronary lesions. However, the technique visualizes only the lumen of the arterial wall where as coronary artery disease is primarily attributed to the arterial wall. This makes angiography less reliable in the early detection of plaque build up in the arterial walls.
