Ultra-Low Contrast Imaging and PCI
Dr. Ziad A. Ali, Interventional Cardiologist at Saint Francis Hospital and Heart Center, emphasizes the significance of reducing contrast exposure and utilizing the least nephrotoxic contrast agents in angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention, particularly in patients with pre-existing chronic kidney disease. By implementing intravenous volume hydration, ensuring appropriate catheter engagement, and limiting contrast injection volume, […]

Dissections Identified by IVUS vs. Angiography Alone
This informative graph demonstrates the effectiveness of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) compared to angiography in identifying dissections. Key findings indicate that IVUS outperforms angiography, identifying 4 times more post-stent dissections, 3.4 times more post-angioplasty dissections, and 6 times more post-atherectomy dissections. These results underscore the benefits of utilizing the IVUS system and intracoronary imaging for accurate […]
Femoropopliteal Artery with Thrombus Identified
This graphic highlights an outcome disparity between intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and angiography, specifically when examining the femoropopliteal artery. The data reveals that IVUS identified twice as much thrombus compared to angiography. This disparity underscores the enhanced thrombus detection capability of IVUS/intracoronary imaging in this arterial segment. Note: See full resource above for complete citations […]
Peripheral Artery Lesions with Calcium Identified
This graphic depicts a comparison between intravascular imaging (IVUS) and angiography in identifying peripheral artery lesions with calcium. Within the same lesions, IVUS detects 69% more calcium compared to angiography. This data highlights IVUS/intracoronary imaging’s ability to accurately identify and quantify calcium deposits in peripheral artery lesions. Note: See full resource above for complete […]
