Why use them?
- Cor angio limited by: 2D view of 3D artery, diffuse dx, foreshortening, angulations, Ca++, eccentricity, vessel overlap, contrast streaming
- Angio alone ➡️ undetected edge complications, suboptimal stent exp in 15-20% ➡️ adverse events @cardiojaydoc02

IVUS tech: US reflected from vessel wall
➡️ 2 types: Rotational; Phased-array
➡️Rotational: 40-45 MHz, 3.2 Fr, 5 Fr guide, Rx, better near field resolution
➡️Phased-array: 20 MHz, 3.5 Fr, 5 Fr guide, Rx, more trackable
➡️Co-registration with angio now available
