The IVUS system allows for a complete, only slightly invasive assessment of the femoral, pelvic and abdominal vessels in cross-section within the framework of intraoperative diagnostics and quality control. This method provides clear information concerning the vascular walls and internal structure. In our experience so far, it provides an ideal form of intraoperative control in cases of venous thrombectomy, embolectomy in the abdominal and pelvic vessels, following half-closed and open thromboendarterectomy and after intraoperatively performed angioplastic interventions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
