Early Clinical Experience with Color Three-Dimensional Intravascular Ultrasound in Peripheral Interventions

Abstract: ChromaFlo-enhanced IVUS demonstrates colorized blood flow inside the vessel lumen, which is helpful in distinguishing echolucent disease from luminal blood flow and can also be used to perform peripheral interventions in patients with renal failure or allergy, avoiding the use of contrast media.

“…The absence of the ChromaFlo function in the standard imaging protocol could be considered a potential limitation as it has been shown to be a useful adjunctive tool. 45 There is the potential that this could result in non-identification of minor dissections, however the experience in our unit has been that while Chromaflo has particular value in assisting new users to recognize potential ambiguous IVUS appearances it is not routinely required for experienced operators.…”

“…These added capabilities that have had some preliminary use in the arterial tree include color imaging, three-dimensional imaging, and virtual histology. [5][6][7] Briefly, color IVUS compares sequential axial images and records any difference in position of echogenic blood particles between images. Although velocities cannot be determined, a color map of low to high flow can be created with the assistance of special software.…”
