Url http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/574497?src=rss
Description Proponents say intravascular ultrasound can reduce stent underexpansion and improve placement--things that should translate into less stent thrombosis/restenosis. But in the absence of large randomized clinical trials, others argue the technology is too expensive, prolongs procedures, and requires too much expertise to use on a routine basis. Heartwire
