SAN DIEGO, CA—IVUS-guided implantation of drug-eluting stents results in lower rates of target vessel failure (TVF) by 1 year compared to angiography-guided procedures, according to results from a new ...

No IVUS was performed before stent placement in either group. In the angiography-directed (AG) arm, procedural success was defined as <10% stent diameter stenosis compared with the distal reference ...

WASHINGTON, DC—A three-way comparison of optical coherence tomography (OCT), intravascular ultrasound, and angiography has come up with mixed results when it comes to choosing the best imaging ...

Doctors may be implanting too many artery-opening stents and could improve patient outcomes -- and ultimately save lives -- if they did more in-depth measurements of blood flow in the vessels to the ...

Abbott aims to build optical coherence tomography into a preferred tool for guiding the placement of stents that increase blood flow to the heart muscle. But a pair of major late-breaking studies ...

This study evaluated the value of computed tomographic angiography (CTA) early after an endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) in relation to CTA 3 months after EVAR. We retrospectively reviewed all ...
