Serial Intravascular Ultrasound Examinations and Clinical Outcome

Serial Intravascular Ultrasound Assessment of Coronary Atherosclerosis Progression and Remodeling

Background: The relation between serum lipids and risk of coronary events has been established, but there are no data demonstrating directly the relation between serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol versus serial changes in coronary plaque dimensions. Methods and Results: We performed standard analyses of serial intravascular ultrasound ...

Clinical Applications of Intravascular Ultrasound

Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) is an invasive grey scale tomographic imaging modality providing cross-sectional images of the vessel wall. The reflected or scattered ultrasound signal received at the transducer is converted to a voltage. This voltage is known as radiofrequency data or backscattered signal. The time delay and amplitude of these emitting pulses provides 256 such backscattered si...

Serial Analysis of Human Iliac Arteries Using Intravascular Ultrasound

Background. Previous studies regarding the mechanism by which balloon angioplasty increases luminal patency have generally used animal models or postmortem specimens from occasional fatal cases of angioplasty performed in human patients. In either case, conclusions regarding participatory mechanisms have relied exclusively on nonserial, postangioplasty histopathological examination. Methods and...
