Utility of 10 MHz ultrasound catheters in the intraaortic assessment of coronary artery ostial stenoses.
Our preliminary observations show that intraaortic intravascular ultrasound using 10 MHz transducer catheters is safe and feasible in the assessment of coronary ostial lesions. This imaging modality is potentially useful in decision making regarding the choice of coronary intervention.
