| Core Tip |
Intravascular ultrasonography (IVUS) improves carotid artery stenting (CAS) evaluations and outcomes vs those of the traditional gold-standard, digital subtraction angiography (DSA). We present two cases of cerebrovascular diseases. Case 1 involves a 65-year-old patient with stroke. IVUS-assisted CAS was performed after right proximal internal carotid artery stenosis was diagnosed via DSA. Preoperative IVUS imaging showed a low-risk plaque and accurately measured the stenosis. Postoperative IVUS confirmed good stent expansion and adherence, and the patient had no discomfort at 4-mo follow-up. Case 2 involves a 36-year-old patient with common carotid artery dissection, confirmed via IVUS-assisted DSA, and CAS was performed. Intraoperative and postoperative IVUS imaging showed the size of the true and false lumen, assisted in treatment decision-making, and confirmed CAS outcomes. This paper highlights the crucial role of IVUS in decision-making during CAS. IVUS can facilitate the accurate assessment of carotid artery wall lesions and plaque nature preoperatively, measure stenosis and true and false lumen size intraoperatively, and confirm CAS effects postoperatively. |
