IVUS ImagingIntravascular Ultrasound

An advanced diagnostic technique using sound waves from a miniature ultrasound probe to visualize arterial walls from the inside, ensuring highly accurate stenting.

What is Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS)?

Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) is a medical imaging methodology that utilizes sound waves to inspect the interior walls of your coronary arteries. While standard angiography provides a two-dimensional "silhouette shadow" outline of the blood pathway, IVUS goes deeper. By passing a tiny ultrasound transducer directly inside the artery, it renders a detailed 360-degree cross-sectional scan showing the vessel layers and plaque deposits.

CLINICAL USAGE

When Is IVUS Used?

Ambiguous Lesion EvaluationProvides a clear 360-degree cross-sectional look at vessel segments that appear unclear or borderline on standard X-ray angiograms.
Plaque CharacterizationAccurately determines the volume, burden, and structural composition (fibrous, fatty, or calcified) of plaque accumulation.
Stent Diameter & Length SelectionAllows measurements of actual arterial dimensions to ensure correct stent sizing, minimizing restenosis risks.
Left Main Stenosis AssessmentAssesses critical blockages in the left main coronary artery, directing decisions between angioplasty and bypass surgery.
Post-Stenting Optimization checkEvaluates the success of stent expansion and checks for tissue tearing (dissection) or incomplete expansion.
IMAGING COMPARISON

IVUS vs. OCT

IVUS is highly efficient for evaluating the total volume of plaque buildup (plaque burden) and studying deeper layers of the arterial wall.

OCT provides much higher resolution, scanning the innermost surface (lumen) and stent struts with micron-level detail.

Both modalities are complementary technologies utilized by Dr. Chaudhari for complex coronary stenting.

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Subhash. My father's Coronary Calcium score was way too high but he was asymptomatic. Dr. explained everything in very detail and went above and beyond to do the very best he could. He checked all the alternatives available and advised us the best. He answered all the doubts I had and made it very clear for us what next steps should be taken.
