The Best Practice Protocol (BPP) for IVUS is now available on BMC2.org. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography imaging (OCT) modalities have been developed and validated to help interventional cardiologists improve stent implantation. This BPP covers best practices for pre-revascularization, proper measurements, and post-stent assessment along with examples. You can view the complete BPP on our website. Thank you to Dr. Tucciarone and the BPP task force for your work!
