Abstract

The authors offer an overview of the most frequent indications for intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and virtual histology (VH) in the catheterization laboratory, with an emphasis on routine use of these techniques in coronary interventions. The procedure for diagnosing hemodynamically significant lesions by IVUS in coronary interventions is described. VH is a suitable method, particularly for assessing atherosclerosis progression and for risk stratification of atherosclerotic plaques. However, there is already a body of data available that can be potentially made use of in real life.
