See clearly.
Treat optimally.

    Angiography alone is  not enough in PCI 


    Angiography provides information on luminal characteristics of vessels, but does not provide a clear picture of the vessel and disease.


    However, with IVUS guidance you can see more clearly and improve patient outcomes with informed pre-stent planning and post-stent optimization.1

    IVUS is an AHA/ACC/SCAI Class IIa recommendation for the assessment of angiographically indeterminant left main CAD.9

    IVUS may help to determine:

    • Lesion significance

    • Vessel sizing

    • Optimal stent deployment

    Ostial and bifurcation lesions

     

    IVUS guidance reduced long-term all-cause mortality by 76%.10

    IVUS may help to determine:

    • Location of the true ostium to decrease risk of geographic miss

    • Plaque distribution

    • Whether two stents are needed

    • Lesion length

    • Landing zones

    • Whether post-dilation is needed (especially at the proximal stent)

    Diffuse disease

     

    Using IVUS for long lesions (stents ≥ 28mm) was associated with a 47% reduction in MACE from 1 to 5 years in the IVUS-XPL randomized control trial.11

    IVUS may help to determine:

    • Vessel size and length of disease

    • Positive remodeling

    • Plaque burden

    • Stenosis

    IVUS is an AHA/ACC/SCAI Class IIa recommendation to determine the mechanism of stent restenosis.

    IVUS may help to determine:

    • Extent and mechanism of restenosis for optimal treatment strategy and for the decrease of risk of geographic miss

    • Location and amount of thrombus

    IVUS guidance was associated with less contrast: 20 ml vs. 64.5 ml, p<.001, n=83 patients randomized to IVUS or angiographyguided PCI.12

    IVUS may help to determine:

    • Pathology at the ambiguous site to optimize your treatment strategy

    • Device utilization without additional radiation and contrast
