Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation is superior to traditional angiography-guided DES implantation in reducing target vessel failure (TVF), a new analysis ...
No IVUS was performed before stent placement in either group. In the angiography-directed (AG) arm, procedural success was defined as <10% stent diameter stenosis compared with the distal reference ...
SAN DIEGO, CA—IVUS-guided implantation of drug-eluting stents results in lower rates of target vessel failure (TVF) by 1 year compared to angiography-guided procedures, according to results from a new ...

A new study could lead to more widespread use of imaging technique to improve survival and prevent complications. Using intravascular imaging (IVI) to guide stent implantation during complex stenting ...
Patients with complex coronary artery disease who underwent a stenting procedure guided by intravascular imaging were nearly 40% less likely to die of heart disease, have a heart attack caused by a ...
