In the Great Luke branch of POKB began to do operations with intravascular ultrasound

In the Department of X-ray Surgical Methods of Diagnostics and Treatment of the Velikoluk Interdistrict Branch of the Pskov Regional Clinical Hospital, intravascular ultrasound was introduced. Previously, such technology was available mainly in federal medical centers, told “MK in Pskov” in the Pskov regional hospital.

Patients enter the department in the direction of cardiology for coronary arthrography. According to the results of the examination, doctors determine the indications for endovascular intervention - primarily with complex lesions of the coronary arteries, including damage to the trunk of the left coronary artery, prolonged narrowing and stenosis in complex anatomical areas.

VSUZI allows you to assess the state of the vessels from the inside using an ultrasonic sensor, which is introduced into the vessel during surgery.

The technology helps to assess the wall and lumen of the artery in detail, determine the nature of atherosclerotic lesions, more accurately choose treatment tactics and monitor the result directly during the intervention.
