Abstract
The history of intravascular ultrasound imaging, recent developments in catheter technology, and the initial in vivo experience are reviewed. Additionally, the article also discusses the potential applications of intravascular ultrasound imaging in coronary and peripheral arterial atherosclerosis, hypertension, pulmonary arterial disorders, valvular heart disease, aortic abnormalities, and in congenital heart disorders. Possible future directions are outlined.Keywords
