Incorporating the invaluable experience of pioneers in the field, this
comprehensive, up-to-date work discusses the efficacy and uses of intravascular
ultrasound (IVUS) imaging in coronary intervention-emphasizing how decision
making and intraprocedural modifications are enhanced when the anatomy is
elucidated optimally.
Intravascular Ultrasound Imaging in Coronary Artery Disease
considers IVUS image interpretation in normal and diseased arteries as well as
the resulting prognostic implications
details the comparative utility of IVUS, angioscopy, the Doppler Flowire, and
angiography
documents IVUS findings before and after coronary intervention with balloon
angioplasty, rotoblators, lasers, directional atherectomy, and stents
reviews the practical role of IVUS in patient postcardiac transplants and for
prognostication in patient pre- and
