Intravascular Ultrasound

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is a modern imaging technique used to get detailed views of the inside of blood vessels, especially coronary arteries. It involves using a small ultrasound probe inserted via a catheter to capture cross-sectional images of artery walls. This technique helps in accurately assessing the severity of blockages, plaque buildup, and vessel size—often guiding treatment decisions during angioplasty or stent placement. IVUS is especially useful when standard angiograms don’t provide enough detail, offering precise information that can greatly improve the safety and outcome of heart procedures.

Intravascular ultrasound is available under the expert supervision of Dr. Ravi Prakash, a seasoned cardiologist with a focus on interventional cardiology. Dr. Prakash uses IVUS to enhance the accuracy of cardiac procedures and ensure optimal results, especially in complex or borderline cases. The technology helps reduce guesswork during interventions and improves long-term success rates by ensuring correct stent sizing and placement. With patient safety and precision at the forefront, Dr. Prakash continues to provide advanced cardiac imaging tools like IVUS, helping patients receive clear, confident, and well-guided treatment in Saket.
