Role of IVUS in the rectification of angiographically judged ramus intermedius and its clinical significance

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2021
Background Due to the technical limitations of coronary artery angiography (CAG), ramus intermedius (RI) is sometimes difficult to distinguish from a high-origin obtuse marginal branch or a high-origin diagonal branch.

Diagnostic performance of IVUS-FFR analysis based on generative adversarial network and bifurcation fractal law for assessing myocardial ischemia

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
BackgroundIVUS-based virtual FFR (IVUS-FFR) can provide additional functional assessment information to IVUS imaging for the diagnosis of coronary stenosis. IVUS image segmentation and side branch blood flow can affect the accuracy of virtual FFR.

Impact of the adjunctive use criteria for intravascular ultrasound-guided percutaneous coronary intervention and clinical outcomes

Scientific Reports, 2023
The impact of the adherence to the adjunctive use criteria (AUC) for intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and clinical outcomes in low IVUS volume countries are limited. The current study compared the procedural
