This study compares the ability of intracoronary ultrasound (ICUS) to identify thrombus by
means of actual criteria, with the histologic studies of tissues removed by directional …

Myocardial infarction is the result of acute thrombotic occlusion of a coronary artery
secondary to rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque. Intracoronary ultrasonic examinations …

T he clinical transition from chronic to acute coronary syndromes, including unstable angina
and acute myocardial infarction, is attributed to dynamic changes in the composition and …

Background: Myocardial infarction is the result of acute thrombotic occlusion of a coronary
artery, most likely secondary to rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque. Intracoronary ultrasonic …

Percutaneous revascularization of coronary arteries with intraluminal thrombi is a clinical
problem. We report a patient in whom we administered prolonged infusion of intracoronary …

This study was designed to determine whether preintervention intravascular ultrasound
(IVUS) imaging can assist in predicting the likelihood of acute coronary occlusion after …

Intravascular ultrasound imaging (IVUS) constitutes a new diagnostic technique that
provides unique information concerning arterial wall structure and luminal dimensions. To …

In the present study, different imaging modalities regarding their sensitivity and specificity in
the detection of thrombus were compared. Using coronary angioscopy as the gold standard …

Intravascular ultrasound imaging (IVUS) was performed to elucidate the discrepancy
between clinical history and angiographic findings and to measure the diameter and area of …

An intravascular ultrasound catheter system was used in patients to assess the effect of
percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. In 14 out of 16 patients, the intravascular …
