When I Use IVUSNeal Uren MD FRCPConsultant CardiologistRoyal Infirmary Edinburgh
MY CONFLICTS OF INTEREST ARE • Travel, Accomodation & Registration • PCR - May 2006 (BosSci) • TCT - October 2006 (BosSci) • Travel & Accomodation • Guidant Institute visit, Brussels - February 2006 (Abbott) • Emerging Technologies Symposium -March 2006(BosSci) • Annual SpR training, Malaga – June 2006 (BosSci)
IVUS Transducers Mechanical Transducer – 40 MHz Atlantis Pro (BosSci) Solid-State Transducer – 25 MHz EagleEye (Volcano)
Diagnostic Applications of IVUS • Identify specific disease - left main stem, ostial lesions • Detect angiographically silent disease- transplant vasculopathy • Identify plaque morphology • Examine vessel when angiography is inconclusive - hazy lesions, presence or absence of thrombus or dissection • Measure plaque load • Measure true vessel size
IVUS Determination of Atheroma Area Precise Planimetry of EEM and Lumen Borderswith Calculation of Atheroma Cross-sectional Area Vessel Area Lumen Diameter LumenArea Vessel Diameter Atheroma Area
Angiography versus IVUS ANGIOGRAPHY 2 dimensional Planar Shadow of lumen Wall structures not imaged Intermittent snapshots or repeat contrast injections necessary QCA measurements prone to magnification errors IVUS 360º view Tomographic and sagittal Visualisation of shape and location Visualisation of inner wall structures and morphology Continuous image Precise measurements
Interventional Indications of IVUS PRE-INTERVENTION • Accurate quantitation • Assessment of reference segment disease • Interventional strategy & device selection • In-stent restenosis POST-INTERVENTION • Recognition of an ambiguous appearance • Optimal balloon angioplasty • IVUS-guided stenting

Left Main Stenting PRE-INTERVENTION • Confirm length of left main stem = pullback time (0.5 mm/s) ÷ 2 • Confirm lesion length • Assess for ostial disease in LAD or CFX • Measure true vessel size = [maximum + minimum vessel diameter] ÷ 2
IVUS & Left Main Stenting POST-INTERVENTION • Confirm optimal stent deployment • Recognition of an ambiguous appearance • Maximise stent expansion - clinical experience MLA≥7 mm2 - parent vessel MLA should be 1.5x daughter (4mm2)
IVUS & Unprotected LMS Stenting • 18 LMS vs. 60 non-LMS PCI • Additional high-pressure or larger size balloon dilatations were more frequently performed in LMS stenting vs. non-LMS stenting (p <0.05) • After IVUS-guided stent implantation, MLA was ≥9 mm2 in 88% of LMS patients vs. 19% of non-LMS (p<0.001) Hong MK et al, AJC 1998;82:670-3

When I Use IVUS CLINICAL PRACTICE • Diagnostic uncertainty • Assessment of in-stent restenosis • Left main stenting • Atherosclerosis research
