Figure 3: Serial Cine and IVUS Images Demonstrate the Use of Intravascular Ultrasound to Mark Structures of Interest During Coronary Interventions.

Figure 3:

A–B) Angiographic views show ostial LAD and LCx stenoses. C–D) The imaging window is positioned at the ostium of the C) LAD and then the D) LCx and short cine runs are obtained to mark their respective locations, using an Eagle Eye® Platinum ST Rx Digital IVUS Catheter, (Volvano Corporation, Rancho Cordova, CA). E) An IVUS image of the LCx ostium prior to intervention is shown. F) A two stent strategy is chosen and stents are positioned in accordance to the IVUS guided ostial marking. G) Post intervention G, I) cine and H) IVUS findings are shown. LAD: Left anterior descending coronary artery; LCx: Left circumflex coronary artery; IVUS: Intravascular Ultrasound.
