They associate drug-eluting stents with stent thrombosis at 3 months or later post-procedure. Doctors may use intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) or optical coherence tomography (OCT) to examine the ...

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has shown advantages over angiography in coronary interventions ... The primary outcome was target-vessel failure, composed of cardiac death, and target vessel ...

Background— Long coronary lesions treated with stents have a poor outcome. This study compared the 6-month outcome of stent implantation for long lesions in patients randomized to intravascular ...

For this reason, it is mandatory to underline how all considerations about preoperative planning and sizing and procedural maneuvers (cannulation, manipulations, stent-grafting, and flaring) aim to ...

Muscle abnormalities observed with ultrasound imaging correlated with motor function in people with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) in a recent study. While the findings varied somewhat by muscle group ...

A new study published in Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology has revealed that muscle ultrasound changes significantly correlate with functional status and is beneficial for quantifying muscular changes ...

Muscle fasciculations, or twitches, in adolescents and adults with later onset forms of spinal muscle atrophy (SMA) were detected best with a muscle ultrasound, a study concluded. Muscle ultrasound ...

The technique outperformed physical examinations in identifying muscle fasciculations, which are common in spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Muscle ultrasound may be a useful tool in diagnosing later ...

Although stent underexpansion on intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has been a major predictor for adverse outcomes in previous studies, these studies have primarily focused on angiographic restenosis or ...
