Intravascular Ultrasound Outperforms Angiography for Peripheral Artery Disease Treatment

DAIC

The study, called IVUS-DCB, is the first randomized controlled trial to demonstrate the clinical benefits of using IVUS in angioplasty procedures for peripheral artery disease (PAD), a condition in which plaque builds up in arteries in the legs. Half were randomly assigned to receive IVUS plus angiography and half received angiography alone.

Abstract 010: Technical Approaches for Intracranial Atherosclerotic Disease Large Vessel Occlusion Strokes

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Endovascular intervention was defined as either angioplasty, stenting, or a combination of both. ConclusionWhile limited by small subgroup sample size, medical management only was associated with relatively high rates of reocclusion, while proactive angioplasty/stenting with performed best.
