IVUS in Endovascular Procedures

A practical overview highlighting the value of IVUS in venous, aortic and PAD procedures.

Angio alone image

Angiography alone is

not enough

Angiography provides information on luminal characteristics of peripheral arteries, but severely underestimates the extent of atherosclerosis in patients with PAD, even in “normal appearing” vessels.1

Visualize the best path forward with IVUS eyes

Philips IVUS provides the visualization needed to gain deeper insights into the lesion and choose the best procedural path forward.

Treat optimally with versatility

The Philips portfolio of therapeutic devices offers the versatility needed to treat the majority of PAD cases, including complex lesions. 

IVUS image interpretation for PAD intervention


Dr Michael Lichtenberg and Dr Konstantinos Stavroulakis discuss the basics of IVUS image interpretation for PAD intervention. Using case- based examples, they demonstrate the added value of IVUS to assess the architecture and pathology of diseased arteries and how this additional information may influence treatment strategy and improve patient outcomes

Dr Lichtenberg and Dr Stavroulakis discuss the IVUS technical characteristics and the rationale for using IVUS to complement angiography in PAD intervention

video thumbnail image

Using case based examples, Dr Stavroulakis discusses the four pillars of IVUS, a framework that demonstrates the added value IVUS brings to angiography

Dr Stavroulakis demonstrates the use of IVUS to understand calcium geometry and morphology and how this may influence treatment strategy.

Dr Lichtenberg demonstrates the ability of IVUS to reveal the depth, circumference and free lumen area resulting from dissection and how this may impact treatment strategy.

Dr Stavroulakis discusses how angiography can often underestimate severity of PAD, and how IVUS can accurately measure and quantify percent stenosis and plaque burden.

Dr Lichtenberg demonstrates the sensitivity of IVUS to detect and differentiate between chronic and acute thrombus, and how this information informs treatment strategy.
