Ivus Made Easy

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging has become an essential tool for understanding arterial disease and guiding percutaneous interventions in the contemporary era. IVUS Made Easy facilitates the understanding and interpretation of IVUS imaging for practicing invasive cardiologists and trainees. This new edition provides a basic understanding of the technology, images, and measurements with updated diagnostic and interventional applications of IVUS imaging, described and discussed in more detail. Technologic innovations and a brief comparison with optical coherence tomography provide the reader with context and understanding of the latest developments.

Key Features:

• Provides in-depth coverage of all topics related to IVUS imaging by highly experienced authors on diagnostic and interventional applications in basic and more complex cases
• Features updated images for demonstration of real-life scenarios for practicing cardiologists and interventional cardiology trainees
• Discusses latest clinical research evidence to support contemporary clinical applications
