About

Understanding Intravascular Ultrasound

Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) is a minimally invasive imaging technique used to visualize blood vessels from the inside, providing high-resolution images of arterial walls and plaque buildup. By offering detailed insights into vascular anatomy and pathology, IVUS assists healthcare providers in making accurate diagnoses and guiding optimal treatment strategies.

SYMPTOMS

Symptoms that May Lead to Intravascular Ultrasound:

Patients experiencing symptoms such as chest pain, leg swelling, or shortness of breath may require Intravascular Ultrasound to evaluate underlying vascular issues and assess the extent of arterial disease.

Chest Pain

Persistent or recurrent chest pain, particularly during physical exertion or emotional stress, may indicate coronary artery disease or other cardiovascular conditions warranting further assessment with IVUS imaging.

Leg Swelling

Swelling, heaviness, or discomfort in the legs, often accompanied by visible varicose veins or skin changes, may suggest venous insufficiency or deep vein thrombosis, necessitating IVUS evaluation for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

Shortness of Breath

Difficulty breathing, especially with exertion or when lying flat, may be a sign of heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, or other cardiopulmonary conditions requiring intravascular imaging to assess cardiac and pulmonary vascular function.

CONDITIONS

Conditions Diagnosed with Intravascular Ultrasound

Intravascular Ultrasound is utilized in the diagnosis and management of conditions such as coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, and carotid artery stenosis, providing detailed anatomical information to guide treatment decisions and interventions.

Coronary Artery Disease

Assessing coronary artery anatomy and identifying plaque morphology with IVUS helps cardiologists determine the severity of coronary artery disease and select appropriate treatment strategies, such as stenting or bypass surgery.

Peripheral Artery Disease

Intravascular Ultrasound aids in evaluating arterial narrowing or blockages in the peripheral vessels, facilitating endovascular interventions such as angioplasty, stenting, or atherectomy to restore blood flow and alleviate symptoms in patients with peripheral artery disease.

Carotid Artery Stenosis

Assessing carotid artery anatomy and identifying plaque characteristics using IVUS assists vascular specialists in determining the degree of carotid artery stenosis and the risk of stroke, guiding decisions regarding carotid artery revascularization procedures to reduce stroke risk.
