City International Hospital adopts advanced IVUS technology for coronary procedures
City International Hospital has introduced intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) technology to help doctors assess coronary artery lesions, select stents and evaluate their placement during cardiac interventions.
City International Hospital has adopted advanced IVUS technology for coronary procedures, providing detailed images of coronary arteries to assess vessel structure, plaque buildup, and stent placement. The VivoHeart IVUS system offers high-resolution images, rapid scanning, AI-assisted functions, and synchronization with digital subtraction angiography (DSA) images.
During an examination, a miniature ultrasound probe is inserted into a coronary artery to produce cross-sectional images of the vessel and its walls, allowing doctors to measure the vessel lumen and assess various abnormalities. This technology is particularly useful for complex lesions involving heavily calcified arteries, vessel bifurcations, or the left main coronary artery.
City International Hospital is also integrating IVUS with fractional flow reserve (FFR) and intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) to provide complementary information for treating coronary artery disease.
