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.

PTA+DCB, P Key findings include: · One-year primary patency (freedom from both clinically driven target lesion revascularization and duplex ultrasound-derived restenosis) did not differ between groups, despite the significant difference in baseline calcification. · DA+DCB versus 5.9% versus 21.1%, P =0.014). 3 · One-year rates of TLR (16.6%

In this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at the difference between quantitative coronary angiography versus intervascular ultrasound to guide PCI. He then discusses paclitaxel-coated balloon catheters vs uncoated balloon angioplasty for treating coronary in-stent restenosis.

During the roundtable, participants highlighted the potential of IVUS in guiding revascularization procedures, such as angioplasty and stenting, to optimize outcomes for patients. They also emphasized the need for further research and evidence to support the integration of IVUS into routine clinical practice.

We aimed ultrasound-guided punctures in the proximal two-thirds of axillary arteries with diameters ≥2 mm to insert 7 cm/4 Fr short introducers. Overall, 27/36 procedures were interventional, including 6 aortic valvuloplasties, 6 balloon angioplasties, and 15 stenting procedures. We administrated intra-arterial verapamil (1.25 mg)

Bedside ultrasound with no apparent wall motion abnormalities, no pericardial effusion, no right heart strain. A comparison of electrocardiographic changes during reperfusion of acute myocardial infarction by thrombolysis or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. Aorta briefly viewed, appears normal caliber and diameter.

After guidewire crossing, balloon angioplasty was performed, and a drug-eluting stent was deployed. An intravascular ultrasound was also performed, which was negative for vessel dissection. The left circumflex had 80% proximal stenosis with minimal luminal irregularities in the mid to distal portion.
