Abstract:
Accurately assessing the characteristics of lower extremity arterial lesions plays an important role in guiding endovascular therapy. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has attracted more and more attention as a choice for the assessment of extremity arterial diseases. IVUS can accurately assess vessel size, lesion morphology, lesion composition and dissection to guide endovascular therapy selection and predict restenosis. IVUS has advantages over "gold standard" digital subtraction angiography in the evaluation of geometric features and composition of lesions. The use of IVUS has been shown to improve diagnostic accuracy of lower extremity arterial diseases, thereby improving treatment outcomes.
