    Advanced visualization for deeper insights with Philips IVUS

    IVUS is a catheter-based imaging technology that allows visualization of vessels from the inside out. Cross-sectional images help assess presence and extent of disease, plaque geometry and morphology, guide wire position during lesion crossing, and stent position post-treatment. Only market-leading Philips IVUS portfolio offers a plug-and-play platform for peripheral IVUS and a full line of catheters for arterial and venous interventions.

    1. 79%

      changes in treatment plans with IVUS1, 2

      79%

      changes in treatment plans with IVUS1, 2

      Randomized controlled trial demonstrates that IVUS changed treatment plans in 79% of arterial cases and 57% in venous cases, outlining more informed treatment plans for patients.

    2. 27%

      reductions in major adverse arterial limb events3

      27%

      reductions in major adverse arterial limb events3

      Data from the largest ever real-world clinical analysis of over 700k peripheral arterial and peripheral venous patients on lower extremity peripheral intervention for IVUS, demonstrate a 27% reduction in risk for major adverse limb events including acute limb ischemia or major amputation.

    3. 28%

      reductions in repeat venous interventions, hospitalization or death4

      28%

      reductions in repeat venous interventions, hospitalization or death4

      Data from the largest ever real-world clinical analysis of over 700k peripheral arterial and peripheral venous patients on lower extremity peripheral intervention for IVUS, demonstrate a 28% risk reduction for repeat intervention, hospitalization, or death.

    4. 1st

      ever global consensus guidance on IVUS5

      1st

      ever global consensus guidance on IVUS5

      40 cross-specialty experts achieved consensus for the appropriate use of IVUS in peripheral vascular disease interventions. The new recommendations aim to improve quality care. IVUS is recommended for lower extremity arterial and venous revascularization procedures to guide clinical decisions.

    Plays an essential role in disease assessment
    IVUS imaging helps aid disease diagnosis, including plaque burden percentage, lesion location and morphology, calcium volume and the presence of thrombus. It also provides analysis of crucial parameters—like luminal cross-sectional measurements.
    Disease diagnosis using Philips IVUS technology
    Supports treatment decisions during intervention
    IVUS provides real-time diagnostic imaging for peripheral artery disease and venous disease. It may also guide clinicians to the correct angioplasty technique for a patient’s individual needs, help assess intervention effectiveness, and assist in endovascular device delivery. The imaging modality also helps clinicians determine the size of the device needed for the best outcome.
