Inteavascular ultrasound assessment of implanted endovascular stents

Intravascular ultrasound scanning improves long-term patency of iliac lesions treated with balloon angioplasty and primary stenting

“…The real time 360°cross-sectional imaging of an artery provided with IVUS permits an accurate measurement of both diseased and true lumen diameters of vessels, defines the composition and extent of occlusive lesions, and accurately assesses the results of an endovascular intervention. [6][7][8][10][11][12][13][14]27 Arteriography has been shown to underestimate the true diameter of the vessel as much as 50% of the time. 3 Incomplete apposition of a stent to the arterial wall was not detected by means of arteriography in 20% to 40% of patients subsequently examined with IVUS.…”

“…It is also a means of assessing the adequacy of stent deployment and provides the measurement information necessary for complete expansion of a stent to ensure its full apposition to the arterial wall. [6][7][8] Earlier studies have shown that arteriography, when compared with IVUS, fails to provide accurate information about stent deployment in as many as 40% of iliac arteries treated with balloon angioplasty and stenting. [9][10][11][12][13][14] The purpose of this study was to determine whether the use of IVUS influenced the long-term patency of aortoiliac occlusive lesions treated with balloon angioplasty and primary stenting.…”

Use of intravascular ultrasound improves long-term clinical outcome in the endovascular management of atherosclerotic aortoiliac occlusive disease

“…IVUS accurately measures diseased and true lumen diameters of vessels, detects significant intramural dissection, and locates major branch vessels. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]27 This information can directly alter the technical part of an endovascular procedure. Heavily calcified vessels require lower-compliance balloon catheters with higher inflation pressures.…”

“…[3][4][5][6][7][8] IVUS identifies underdeployed stents, and using true IVUS vessel diameter measurements these stents can be completely expanded with larger angioplasty catheters. [9][10][11] Incomplete stent deployment has been anecdotally identified as a cause of restenosis or occlusion of a treated lesion.…”

Application of intraluminal ultrasound imaging to vascular stenting

“…Recently catheter based intravascular ultrasound has been suggested as a valuable technique for imaging of stents [31,32]. In our laboratory we have examined the ability of IVUS to detect and image a wide variety of stents currently under investigation.…”
