NORMAL VESSEL
„„
In

a normal vessel, the lumen border is almost
indistinguishable from the vessel border. While
IVUS allows visualization of vessel and lumen,
angiograms only provide a shadow of the
lumen. In patients with diffuse disease, relying
on the angiogram alone can potentially lead to
underestimation of stenosis.

„„
The

lumen border is drawn inside the intima
or plaque.

„„
The

intimal layer is normally not seen unless it has
begun to thicken.

„„
The

catheter mask (red area) indicates the location
of the ultrasound transducer.

„„
The

media is the dark band between the adventitia
and the intima.

CONCENTRIC MIXED PLAQUE
„„
Concentric

plaques are distributed
circumferentially in the vessel.

„„
Concentric

plaques tend to occur in areas of
negative remodeling; use of angiography alone
could result in too large a stent diameter.

„„
Mixed

plaque is a combination of tissues of varying
echogenecity. The distribution of light and dark
may be distinct, or light and dark variations may be
intermingled as shown here.

ECCENTRIC MIXED PLAQUE
„„
Eccentric

plaques are distributed noncircumferentially in the vessel; this makes the
assessment of disease by angiography especially
prone to underestimation or overestimation
depending on the angle of view.

„„
Calcium

is indicated by very bright areas with
acoustic shadowing that blocks out the image
behind. This shadowing occurs because the high
density of calcium dampens the ultrasound echo.

„„
Nearby

vessels on the periphery can be seen
moving in and out of the field of view and can be
used as landmarks.

FIBROUS PLAQUE
„„
These

plaques have an intermediate echogenicity
between soft (echolucent) atheromas and highly
echogenic calcific plaques.

„„
Fibrous

plaques exhibit little or no
acoustic shadowing.

10

11

PLAQUE WITH CALCIUM
„„
There

are two large bands of calcium in this plaque
with acoustic shadowing arcs behind them.

„„
Calcium is indicated by very bright areas with acoustic

shadowing that blocks out the image behind it.
Reverberations may also been seen. This shadowing
occurs because the high density of calcium prevents the
ultrasound from passing through.

„„
Detection

of calcium is a critical factor in
determining the optimal PCI strategy.

„„
Study

data comparing IVUS and angiographic
based assessments of calcium reported that IVUS
detected calcium significantly more often.*

UNDER EXPANDED STENT
„„
Stent

struts appear as bright marks spaced around
the lumen (eleven struts seen here).

„„
Large

presence of plaque behind stent struts may
indicate under-expansion.

„„
Device

size is an independent predictor of
stent thrombosis*

STENT WITH COMPLETE
APPOSITION
„„
Complete

apposition is indicated by consistent
stent strut contact with tissue.

„„
Complete

apposition does not guarantee that a
stent is not under-sized or under-expanded.

Complete
Apposition

STENT WITH MALAPPOSITION
„„
Malapposition

is indicated by blood visible
behind stent struts.

„„
Stents

may be completely or only partially
malapposed depending on how much of the
stent is in contact with the lumen wall.

„„
Blood

may appear as a very faint speckle or
black on grayscale IVUS.

VESSEL BRANCHES MERGING
„„
Nearby

side branches can act as landmarks.

„„
Side

branches can be used to determine where
or where not to stent within a vessel.

VEIN GRAFT DISSECTION
„„
A

dissection, or tear in the vessel wall can be
seen as a flap with blood flow behind it.

„„
Only

the intimal layer is dissected.

„„
When

detecting a dissection, the catheter may be
flushed with contrast to reduce the blood speckle.

INTRA LUMINAL THROMBUS
„„
Thrombus

is usually circular in appearance and
non-stationary.

„„
When

detecting a thrombus, the catheter may be
flushed with contrast to highlight the contours.

„„
When

viewed during a pullback, thrombus first
appears small in size becoming larger and then
smaller again.

HI-Q™ IMAGING OPTIONS
Hi-Q OFF

Hi-Q™ Imaging1 Allows You to
Customize Your Image to Better
Identify Lumen Features

Imaging
equivalent to
systems with
software versions
prior to v.3.3.

Choose from three high quality 2, optimized imaging
modes with different levels of darkness and fineness of
blood speckle:
„„
May

help differentiate between tissue and blood
along the lumen border

„„
May

help identify stent struts, dissection, or other
lumen features

Hi-Q LEVEL 1
Imaging with a darker
and finer blood
speckle appearance
than in the Off mode.
Level is also the default
mode1 for new systems.

Hi-Q LEVEL 2
Imaging with an
even darker and
finer blood speckle
appearance than in
the Level 1 mode.

1. Available on all Revolution® catheters when using
v3.3 software or higher.
2. Catheter must be plugged in with Image On;

See What You’ve Been
Missing With IVUS
Stent Sizing
Angiography
Must rely on “eyeball”
estimate.

Calcium
IVUS
Enables you to make
lumen and reference vessel
measurements that can be
used when selecting stent size.

Stent Expansion and Apposition

Dissection

Angiography
Cannot see the vessel wall to
verify optimal placement.

Angiography
Cannot determine where
the dissection begins.

IVUS
User-defined cross-sectional
area measurements and
views allow verification and
documentation of stent
placement.

Normal Vessels vs. Diffuse Disease
Angiography
Tends to underestimate
degree of stenosis in diffuse
disease1 or with positive
remodeling.

IVUS
Helps you distinguish normal
from abnormal vessels and
find the location of disease
in patients with a normal
angiogram.

Concentric and Eccentric Plaques
Angiography
Must rely on “eyeball”
estimate. Assessment of
eccentric plaque lesion size
especially prone to error
based on angle of view.

28

Angiography
Less sensitive than IVUS for
detecting calcium1

IVUS
Makes the presence of
calcium clear, helping to
identify lesions that need
pre-treatment.

IVUS
Can be determined.

Thrombus
Angiography
Difficult to determine.

IVUS
Can be determined.

Side Branches Merging
Angiography
Cannot tell how diseased
the vessels are.

IVUS
Helps to determine where to
place or not place a stent as
well as providing information
on the disease state in the
ostium and side branch.

IVUS
Helps you get an accurate
lumen area to determine
lesion significance and
stent size.
