Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is an essential imaging modality for diagnosing deep vein disease as well as guiding safe and effective endovascular treatment, as shown in the VIDIO trial.

2022年7月12日 · What is intravascular ultrasound? Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) uses sound waves to assess soft tissue. Tiny instruments capture real-time images from inside your blood vessels. Intravascular ultrasound often evaluates arteries and veins near the heart (coronary arteries). It can also test other blood vessels.

2021年9月29日 · To summarize the most clinically pertinent data supporting IVUS in deep venous procedures, the basics of IVUS interpretation, technical steps of iliac vein stenting, and typical interventional case examples of acute iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and non-thrombotic iliac vein lesion (NIVL).

2020年2月1日 · IVUS is routinely used in procedures such as transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS)/direct intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (DIPS), May-Thurner stenting, guiding percutaneous fenestration in the setting of aortic dissection, inferior vena cava (IVC) filter placement (without cavography and/or fluoroscopy in the setting of an ...

2022年10月3日 · Interventional radiology applications of intravascular US (IVUS) continue to expand, complementing intraprocedural angiography and providing a unique vantage from which to guide endovascular interventions.

2025年3月11日 · IVUS helps assess IVC diameter, detects any iliocaval thrombus and helps identify the location of the renal veins while allowing real-time imaging for accurate positioning of the filter, thus reducing the risk of misplacement and associated complications [17].

2024年6月28日 · The case for intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) use in peripheral endovascular arterial and venous interventions is building. Observational and randomized data involving PCI have demonstrated that IVUS improves procedural and clinical outcomes, including reduction in major adverse cardiovascular events and even mortality. 1-5

2020年7月1日 · The use of IVUS for venous imaging and intervention is quickly becoming adopted as a standard of care due to the advantages it presents compared with venography alone. IVUS has the capacity to visualize nonocclusive thrombi that may be missed on traditional venography and aid in distinguishing chronic vs. acute thrombosis. 2

Background: Iliofemoral vein stenosis can cause debilitating chronic venous disease. Diagnostic tools include both computed tomography venography (CTV) and intravascular ultrasonography (IVUS). We aim to compare the diagnostic performance of CTV and IVUS.

Intravascular ultrasound is a useful tool for assessing the condition of internal structures: Assessing the narrowing of veins. Looking for blood clots in legs, blood clots in feet, or any other extremities. Measuring blood vessels to select stent sizes. Diagnosing peripheral artery disease.
