Abstract

During recent years, a variety of second-generation techniques became available for chatheter treatment of symptomatic conorary disease. In contrast to balloon angioplasty, these devices are designed for the reduction of plaque mass (directional, rotational and TEC atherectomy, laser angioplasty) or to maintain vessel geometry (stents). The ability of the second-generation devices to accomplish these goals mainly depends on vessel and lesion morphology. It is logical that optimal visualization of the target lesion is even more essential for the efficacy of these techniques than for balloon angioplasty. efficacy and safety of the new catheter devices is one of the most challenging clinical applications of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging [1]. In contrast to conventional angiography, IVUS provides a cross-sectional view of the lumen and plaque; thus, it has the potential to better characterize vessel geometry as well as extent, location and composition of the plaque (Figures 1 and 2). Initial experience with IVUS imaging during the clinical use of second-generation devices suggests that IVUS may be helpful tool to optimize these interventions (see also Chapters 21, 22 and 25).
