Given the current rate of coronary stenting, it would be difficult to recommend routine ultrasound for the majority of cases. However, in addition to its important role in clinical research, and its utility in defining unusual or ambiguous angiographic appearances, the evidence suggests that it is of additional benefit in improving the medium term clinical outcome in selected patients at increased risk of restenosis.

Usefulness of intravascular ultrasound in preventing stenting of hazy areas adjacent to coronary stents and its support of support spot-stenting
Grewal J, et al.
Am J Cardiol 2001;87:1246-9
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&dopt=Citation&list_uids=11377348 Haziness at the margins of coronary stents is often caused by calcified plaque. IVUS can differentiate calcified plaques from intimal tears and thereby obviate unnecessary stenting.

Intravascular ultrasound-guided renal artery stenting
Dangas G, et al.
J Endovasc Ther 2001;8:238-47
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&dopt=Citation&list_uids=11491257 IVUS-guided stenting facilitates safe renal artery revascularization. IVUS imaging may complement angiography in certain cases, which should be studied further in prospective studies with iodinated or noniodinated contrast agents.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of intravascular ultrasound guided percutaneous coronary intervention versus conventional percutaneous coronary intervention

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&dopt=Citation&list_uids=11405501 This study suggests that when performing IVUS guided PCI, costs as well as benefits increase. The increased benefits measured as cost savings resulting from less restenosis outweigh the cost increase from performing the IVUS guided PCI as opposed to CAG guided PCI.

Ultrasound-assisted stent implantation in small size coronary arteries: a pilot study
Ortolani P, et al.
Ital Heart J 2001;2:372-8
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&dopt=Citation&list_uids=11392642 Coronary IVUS-guided stenting can be performed in small vessels with a high success rate and low incidence of in-hospital complications. However, despite these encouraging short-term results, the long-term clinical and angiographic outcome is less favorable. Further larger and randomized IVUS studies, probably employing more aggressive IVUS criteria, are needed to clarify the true role of IVUS guidance in this particular field.

Plaque distribution and vascular remodeling of ruptured and nonruptured coronary plaques in the same vessel: an intravascular ultrasound study in vivo

J Am Coll Cardiol 2001;37:1864-70
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&dopt=Citation&list_uids=11401124 Intravascular ultrasound assessment of plaque distribution and vascular remodeling may help to classify plaques with the highest probability of spontaneous rupture.

Resource utilization and clinical outcomes of coronary stenting: a comparison of intravascular ultrasound and angiographical guided stent implantation
Choi JW, et al.
Am Heart J 2001;142:112-8
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&dopt=Citation&list_uids=11431666
The use of IVUS guidance during stent implantation does not significantly increase procedure time, fluoroscopy exposure, contrast volume, or device utilization. Furthermore, despite the increase in procedural cost, IVUS-guided stent implantation is associated with a significant decrease in the in-hospital abrupt closure rate and a trend toward a lower 6-month target vessel revascularization.

An intravascular ultrasound classification of angiographic coronary artery aneurysms

Intravascular ultrasound assessment of the morphologic similarities between stenoses located in different arteries in the same patient
Hoffmann R, et al.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&dopt=Citation&list_uids=11179540
Intravascular ultrasound studies were performed on both vessels of 131 patients undergoing subsequent 2-vessel angioplasty. Because multiple stenoses in the same patient appear more dissimilar than similar, the Authors conclude that local factors tend to be more important than patient factors in determining the lesion morphology.

Intravascular ultrasound assessment of the mechanisms and results of brachytherapy
Mintz GS, et al.
Circulation 2001;104:1320-5

Compensatory enlargement of the coronary artery in acute myocardial infarction
  Kaji S et al.
  Am J Cardiol 2000;85:1139-41, A9
  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/htbin-post/Entrez/query?db=m&form=6&dopt=r&uid=0010781767
Compensatory enlargement occurred in 71% of lesions in patients with acute myocardial infarction and was more common in these patients than in patients with stable effort angina pectoris. These results suggest that compensatory enlargement may be associated with plaque rupture and subsequent acute myocardial infarction

Role of intravascular ultrasound after high-pressure stent implantation
  Choi JW et al.
  Am Heart J 2000;139:643-8
  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/htbin-post/Entrez/query?db=m&form=6&dopt=r&uid=0010740146
Even when poststent high- pressure balloon inflation achieves an optimal angiographic result, IVUS assists in optimizing acute gain, symmetry, and apposition of intracoronary stents in approximately 50% of patients. Moreover, IVUS guidance is associated with low rates for target vessel revascularization and major adverse cardiac events at 6-month follow-up.

RESIST study - Medical costs of intravascular ultrasound optimization of stent deployment. Results of the multicenter randomized 'REStenosis after Intravascular ultrasound STenting'  
  Schiele F || Bassand JP
  International Journal of Cardiovascular Interventions 2000;3: 207
Intravascular ultrasound is a well-established and accepted method of verfication of stent expansion and practical optimization of stent deployment. Schiele et al have studied the medical costs of this technique and found interesting results pertaining to the potential cost containment with this method. 

Morphology of vulnerable coronary plaque: insights from follow-up of patients examined by intravascular ultrasound before an acute coronary syndrome
  Yamagishi M et al.
  J Am Coll Cardiol 2000;35:106-11
  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/htbin-post/Entrez/query?db=m&form=6&dopt=r&uid=0010636267
Large eccentric plaque containing an echolucent zone by IVUS can be at increased risk for instability even though the lumen area is preserved at the time of initial study. Compensatory enlargement of vessel wall due to remodeling may contribute to the relatively small degree of stenosis by angiography

Final results of the Can Routine Ultrasound Influence Stent Expansion (CRUISE) study
  Fitzgerald PJ et al.
  Circulation 2000;102:523-30
  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/htbin-post/Entrez/query?db=m&form=6&dopt=r&uid=10920064
The IVUS-guided group had a larger minimal lumen diameter (29+/-0.4 versus 27+/-0.5mm, P<0.001) by QCA and a larger minimal stent area (7.78+/-1.72 versus 7.06+/-2.13mm (2), P<0.001) by quantitative coronary ultrasound. Target vessel revascularization, defined as clinically driven repeat interventional or surgical therapy of the index vessel at 9 month-follow-up, occur significantly less frequently in the IVUS-guided group (8.5% versus 15.3%, P<0.05; relative reduction of 44%). This study suggests that ultrasound guidance of stent implantation may result in more effective stent expansion compared with angiographic guidance alone.

Effect of preintervention plaque burden on subsequent intimal hyperplasia in stented coronary artery lesions
  Shiran A et al.
  Am J Cardiol 2000;86:1318-1321
  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/htbin-post/Entrez/query?db=m&form=6&dopt=r&uid=11113406
Using multivariant analysis, the strongest predictor of intimal hyperplasia (HI) at follow-up was prointervention plaque area (p=0.001), IH accumalatos axially and circumferentially preferentially at the site of maximal preintervention plaque.
