Abstract
Clinical experience with 6 and 9 Fr ultrasound imaging catheters (UICs) reveals that several transducer and catheter tip varieties are needed for optimum imaging of diseased intravascular sites. Our UIC design has combined established catheter design and very high frequency ultrasound imaging technology to create a versatile, user configured system for intravascular ultrasound imaging. Optimum use requires proper strategic selection of transducer and catheter sizes, frequencies of operation, and interventional accessories.Mesh:
