Background:

Three-dimensional intravascular ultrasound (3-D IVUS) enables comprehensive visualization of coronary segments.
It provides enhanced insights into atherosclerotic plaque geometry and facilitates longitudinal studies.

Purpose of the Study:

To highlight the clinical utility of 3-D IVUS beyond research.
To demonstrate its role in guiding coronary interventions and evaluating outcomes.

Main Methods:

Utilizes automated quantitative 3-D IVUS for reduced analysis time and subjectivity.
Incorporates ECG-gated image acquisition and automated contour detection.
Leverages combined data from 3-D IVUS and biplane angiography.

Main Results:
