Size for Success Part 1: Why We Undersize Our Endovascular Tools & The Importance of IVUS

In this short, three-part video series, Dr. Eric Secemsky (Interventional Cardiologist, Beth Israel Deaconess in Boston, MA) and Dr. Michael Siah (Vascular Surgeon, UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, TX) discuss appropriate peripheral intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) sizing - the what, why, and how - for optimal clinical results.
In this episode, Drs. Secemsky and Siah kick off the discussion with overall under-sizing trends of endovascular tools - why it happens and the clinical implications. They integrate IVUS into the discussion and cover why IVUS is so important in understanding calcium burden and obtaining accurate sizing measurements, despite the number of barriers to use.
