IVUS interpretation

Clinical evidence

Advanced imaging

Peripheral IVUS

Angiography alone is not enough in PCI

Angiography provides information on luminal characteristics of vessels, but does not provide a clear picture of the vessel and disease.

However, with IVUS guidance you can see more clearly and improve patient outcomes with informed pre-stent planning and post-stent optimization.¹

74%

of the time, IVUS use resulted in a change in PCI strategy^2,3,4,5

46%

Reduction in TVF at 1 year when IVUS was used^6,7

43%

Lower risk of cardiac death associated with IVUS⁸

Plan, land and expand stents optimally

Learn how Dr. Kerrigan defines stent optimization

Enable improved outcomes and fewer complications. The treatment of coronary lesions with DES is complicated by the challenges of suboptimal post stent results, such as stent under expansion, incomplete stent apposition, edge dissection and geographic miss, which may contribute to increased risk of stent failure.

See clearly and treat optimally with IVUS in a variety of clinical scenarios

Left main

IVUS is an AHA/ACC/SCAI Class IIa recommendation for the assessment of angiographically indeterminant left main CAD.⁹

IVUS may help to determine:

• Lesion significance

• Vessel sizing

• Optimal stent deployment
Ostial and bifurcation lesions

IVUS guidance reduced long-term all-cause mortality by 76%.¹⁰

IVUS may help to determine:

• Location of the true ostium to decrease risk of geographic miss

• Plaque distribution

• Whether two stents are needed

• Lesion length

• Landing zones

• Whether post-dilation is needed (especially at the proximal stent)
Diffuse disease

Using IVUS for long lesions (stents ≥ 28mm) was associated with a 47% reduction in MACE from 1 to 5 years in the IVUS-XPL randomized control trial.¹¹

IVUS may help to determine:

• Vessel size and length of disease

• Positive remodeling

• Plaque burden

• Stenosis
Repeat patients

IVUS is an AHA/ACC/SCAI Class IIa recommendation to determine the mechanism of stent restenosis.⁹

IVUS may help to determine:

• Extent and mechanism of restenosis for optimal treatment strategy and for the decrease of risk of geographic miss

• Location and amount of thrombus
Ambiguous angiogram

IVUS guidance was associated with less contrast: 20 ml vs. 64.5 ml, p<.001, n=83 patients randomized to IVUS or angiographyguided PCI.¹²

IVUS may help to determine:

• Pathology at the ambiguous site to optimize your treatment strategy

• Device utilization without additional radiation and contrast
