Overview

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and coronary physiology can resolve abnormalities within the coronary artery to a degree that is not possible with angiography alone. They have the potential to change clinical management decisions and to ensure correct stent sizing and apposition. This webinar describes scenarios of clinical uncertainty where the coronary angiogram has not provided enough information. It also gives examples of how IVUS with physiology co-registration can help to clarify decision-making in such cases.

Andrew SP Sharp
