Routine intravascular ultrasound guidance of percutaneous coronary intervention

Abstract: Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has played an integral role in the evolution of interventional cardiology. However, routine IVUS guidance of coronary stent implantation is not supported by a critical reappraisal of the available evidence. Although there is a trend toward a benefit with respect to target lumen revascularization favoring IVUS-guided coronary stent implantation, it is likely that this effect is driven by improved outcomes in small vessels, long coronary stenoses, and possibly saphenous vein graft… Show more

“…[8][9][10] However, in daily practice, this technique is not used routinely because it is expensive, time-consuming, and there is a learning curve (requiring trained operators and laboratory staff). 11) Moreover, it is difficult to obtain an accurate location of the stent before the stent is released. Stent boost subtract (SBS) is a recently developed imaging technique that enhances stent fluoroscopic visibility.…”

“…Measures can include time savings or radiation exposure, success rate, or avoiding surgical alternatives. By comparison, the benefit of intravascular ultrasound during percutaneous coronary artery intervention has been inconsistent when tested in large clinical trials, even though it is widely considered a valuable or even essential element of coronary intervention by many operators [22]. In this small series, XFM improved subjective operator ease-of-use and confidence, although we provide no utility measures.…”

“…Intravascular ultrasonography (IVUS) has advantages for the evaluation of coronary atherosclerotic burden and disease progression. [19][20][21][22][23] Third, our study was a retrospective and crosssectional study, and not a randomized and controlled prospective study. Finally, all patients with normal MDCT findings did not undergo CCA.…”
