VH IVUS imaging provides a colorized tissue map of plaque composition with automated lumen and vessel measurements.* VH IVUS technology uses advanced, proprietary spectral analysis techniques to classify plaque into four tissue types with 93-97% accuracy.1
VH IVUS provides a colorized tissue map of plaque composition for complete lesion assessment. Based on more than 15 years of research and 350 scientific publications, including the landmark PROSPECT trial, VH IVUS can assist you with lesion risk assessment, identification of necrotic core for optimizing stent placement, and monitoring of transplant patients for cardiac allograft vasculopathy.
For complete lesion assessment, VH IVUS provides a colorized tissue map of four tissue types:
For a simplified view, VH IVUS features an alternate option to display only necrotic core and dense calcium.
VH IVUS provides automatic border contours for full segment analysis.
VH IVUS may help assess lesion risk:
Landing stent edges in necrotic core increases the risk of stent thrombosis.3 With VH IVUS, the location of necrotic core can be identified and stent placement optimized.
*Safety and effectiveness of VH IVUS for use in the characterization of vascular lesions and tissue types has not been established
