Workflow-based Framework to Aid With High-Definition Intravascular Ultrasound-Optimised Coronary Stenting: Introducing IVUS 123 Essentials
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has been in clinical use for more than three decades. Despite evidence that supports the application of the technology from multiple registries, randomised trials and meta-analyses, adoption remains low. Potential barriers to the adoption of IVUS are a lack of understanding as to how to accurately interpret images and how to incorporate it into clinical workflow. To address this, this paper summarises evidence-based protocols for the application of IVUS during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) into an easily understood workflow. Standardisation of approaches and wider adoption of IVUS-optimised PCI should improve patient outcomes and PCI durability.
