Disease relevance of Ultrasonography, Interventional

• In addition, we evaluated the temporal patterns of VEGF expression in consecutive biopsies from seven patients (total of 74 biopsies) who were assessed for the development of graft vascular disease (GVD) by intravascular ultrasonography at 1 year posttransplantation [1].
• INVESTIGATIONS: Serum chemistry, coronary angiography, left-heart catheterization, intravascular ultrasonography and coronary vasospasm provocation with acetylcholine [2].
• Application of intravascular ultrasonography for intracaval tumor thrombectomies in adrenal metastasis from hepatocellular carcinoma: report of two cases [3].
• CONCLUSIONS: For patients with coronary disease, treatment with an ACAT inhibitor did not improve the primary efficacy variable (percent atheroma volume) and adversely affected two major secondary efficacy measures assessed by intravascular ultrasonography [4].

High impact information on Ultrasonography, Interventional

• The accuracy of catheter-based intravascular ultrasonography to define luminal size in humans in vivo and its sensitivity to describe lesion morphology have not been previously reported [5].
• Bedside placement of inferior vena cava filters by using either transabdominal duplex ultrasonography or intravascular ultrasonography (IVUS) has been shown to be safe and effective [6].
• However, both secondary efficacy variables assessed by means of intravascular ultrasonography showed unfavorable effects of pactimibe treatment [4].
• After 9 wk, body composition, glucose tolerance, plasma lipids, and intravascular ultrasonography and histopathology of coronary arteries were assessed [7].
• Increased ET-1 levels and the pathological data of intravascular ultrasonography may be associated with endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis development in patients with MB [8].

Anatomical context of Ultrasonography, Interventional

• Both histologic analyses and, more recently, intravascular ultrasonography techniques have revealed that a significant atherosclerotic plaque load may be present in epicardial coronary arteries without significant luminal narrowing, consistent with compensatory vessel enlargement or remodeling [9].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Ultrasonography, Interventional

• Arteriography was performed to assess iliac patency and intravascular ultrasonography was used to determine neointimal and luminal areas [10].
