Resolving Proximal Cap ambiguity with #IVUS

During the MLCTO meeting in 2023, Dr Ram Vijayaraghavan from Scarborough Health Network in Toronto, Canada, shared a case presentation in which he explains how the ACIST HDi IVUS can assist physicians in identifying the proximal cap during CTO PCI procedures. He emphasized that resolving proximal cap ambiguity with IVUS is among the initial consideration […]

HD IVUS Guidance in PCI as the standard of Care, Profs Hammerstingl and Volz

Clinical data shows that routine use of intravascular imaging, such as IVUS, improves clinical outcomes of patients undergoing PCI. It delivers critical anatomical information pre- and post-stenting. Thereby, HD-IVUS enables “high-precision” interventional therapy. In this video, Prof Christoph Hammerstingl and Dr. Alexander Völz from Eduardus Hospital Cologne (Germany) talk about why intravascular imaging should become […]

Post-PCI FFR Values and Post-PCI IVUS Findings – 2-Year FFR REACT Results (NEW)

This study examines the influence of post-PCI intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) evaluation on operator strategy. The objective is to evaluate the effects of additional optimization in patients with low post-PCI FFR values. The trial indicates that performing additional optimization techniques improves post-PCI FFR in patients with FFR < 0.90. The FFR REACT trial utilized IVUS guidance […]
