title: [Clinical application of a coronary intravascular ultrasound study].
abstract: A coronary intravascular ultrasound study (CIUSS) allows accurate estimation of coronary artery lumen and the structure of its wall. In the past 20 years, CIUSS has gained wide acceptance as an additional study. At present, it is mainly used to determine management tactics for coronary artery lesions during percutaneous coronary interventions and their degree in the situations where there are doubts about the need for treatment. CIUSS estimation of the magnitude of stenosis is also useful in the identification of coronary bed lesions that do not induce myocardial ischemia, whose vascularizations may be delayed. This review describes the place of CIUSS in modern interventional cardiology.
