An Observational Study Using Intravascular Ultrasound
نویسنده
چکیده
Background. Atherosclerotic plaque fracture and dissection of the arterial wall are frequent concomitants of the balloon angioplasty process. The composition and morphology of plaque within the vessel may be critical in determining the extent of plaque fracture and dissection during balloon angioplasty. To examine this potential association in the clinical setting, we studied patients with intravascular ultrasound imaging after balloon angioplasty. Methods and Results. Forty-one patients were studied with intravascular ultrasound after angioplasty in both peripheral and coronary arteries. Ultrasound images representing the target lesion cross section

Background: Intravascular imaging is a tool to detect coronary artery atherosclerosis which plays the major role in vessel stenosis degree determination and plaque pathology as a supplement of invasive angiography. This study aimed at comparing Intravascular imaging with invasive angiography. Materials and Methods: For retrieving second type studies, PubMed, Cochrane Library and Centre for R...

Introduction:The assessment of intravascular volume in severely traumatized patients or patients admitted in ICU is very essential. At present the accurate method for estimating the intravascular volume requirement is by measuring the CVP which is an invasive method. The measurement of IVC diameter by ultrasound has been suggested as an easily available and simple method for measuring the intra...
