Intravascular Ultrasound Imaging Following Mechanical Coronary Interventions: Theoretic Advantages and Initial Clinical Experience

  • Chapter
Restenosis after Intervention with New Mechanical Devices

Part of the book series: Developments in Cardiovascular Medicine ((DICM,volume 131))

Abstract

During the past decade, catheter-based mechanical interventions have emerged as the most frequently applied methods for revascularization in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) surpassing bypass graft surgery in the number of procedures performed per annum. Although angioplasty has achieved widespread clinical acceptance, several problems continue to impede optimal application of catheter-based mechanical interventions. These include difficulty in selecting patients ideally suited for angioplasty, problems in assessing the adequacy of angiographic results, and limitations in predicting the long-term success of the procedure. Despite significant advances in the catheter equipment utilized for PTCA, technical developments have yielded little improvement in the incidence of restenosis.
