Summary
Intra-coronary ultrasound has a unique value to guide percutaneous coronary intervention procedures. Pre-intervention ultrasound imaging may help determine device selection. Intra-coronary ultrasound during interventions often results in improved immediate outcome during balloon angioplasty or atherectomy and in particular during stent implantation. Intra-coronary ultrasound may offer a unique opportunity for precise radiation dosage during brachytherapy.
