Intracardiac Echocardiography Ultrasound technology has progressed rapidly over the past several years, leading to significant miniaturization of transducer design. The original catheter-based transducers, known as intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) catheters, are high frequency (20 to 40 MHz) and are used to image the walls of coronary arteries and other small vessels. They contain a single ultra...

Background: Use of intravascular warming catheters following major burns has been shown to be effective maintain normothermia, but their use may associated with complications. The aim this study was determine what proportion patients an catheter developed a potentially catheter-related venous thromboembolism (VTE) and identify contributing risk factors. Methods: This retrospective cohort admitt...
