Intravascular ultrasound imaging has contributed to circumvent some limitations of coronary angiography by providing information on the characteristics of the arterial wall and facilitating accurate measurements of luminal dimensions. In addition to providing valuable in vivo observations on the natural history of coronary artery disease, it has contributed significantly to the assessment of interventional devices and drugs addressing coronary artery disease. For the interventional cardiologist it constitutes a valuable tool that allows planning and optimization of percutaneous interventions, with growing information supporting the hypothesis that its use translates into better patient outcomes.
