Abstract

The diagnostic gold standard for coronary heart disease and for intraluminal interventional procedures is coronary angiography. However, it is limited by describing only the lumen contours of the artery, without showing the artery wall or plaque components. In contrast, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is able to recognize arterial wall and plaque components as well as other plaque morphology such as dissections or hematoma.
