Intracoronary Ultrasound
Gary S. Mintz
Publisher:
Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1841840475
Pub Date: 28 OCT 2004
Type: Hardback Book
Intracoronary Ultrasound is the result of more than ten years of experience with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). It summarizes both Dr Mintz's own experiences as well as published and unpublished observations of others in the field. When appropriate, this text incorporates angiographic and pathologic data; in particular, pathologic observations are useful in filling in the gaps in our knowledge of coronary artery disease as assessed by IVUS alone.
Interventional cardiology is at a crossroads with the advent of drug-eluting stents (DES) which have the potential to revolutionize and dominate interventional cardiology, but there is currently little data on the clinical utility of IVUS with DES. Therefore, this is an opportunity to summarize the field as it exists today, highlighted with a careful and painstaking collection of figures for their illustrative value. One major limitation of any IVUS text is that published images are static while the actual IVUS studies are dynamic and moving, this is unavoidable. Nevertheless, a major effort went into selecting and presenting figures for their illustrative value. In most cases each IVUS figure includes a linear sequence of equidistantly-spaced image slices that illustrates the full length morphology of the lesion and/or the pullback of the transducer through the lesion.
Intracoronary Ultrasound provides the reader with an excellent guide for revision, confirming diagnoses, and teaching. It is essential reading for all involved in intravascular ultrasound.
