Abstract
Interventional radiology applications of intravascular US (IVUS) continue to expand, complementing intraprocedural angiography and providing a unique vantage from which to guide endovascular interventions. Vascular pathologic conditions become sonographically visualized rather than inferred from the planar appearance of the opacified vascular lumen. Perivascular targets become sonographically visualized rather than approximated on the basis of fluoroscopic landmarks. The authors introduce broad categories of IVUS catheters, namely radial and side-firing varieties, as well as prevailing options for each and their technical specifications. Common applications within interventional radiology are covered in a systems approach, including deep venous thrombosis, May-Thurner syndrome, nutcracker syndrome, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts, aortic interventions, peripheral arterial disease, and endovascular or perivascular biopsy. Discussions are accompanied by technical pearls from the authors, and summarized evidence where IVUS has been shown to reduce procedural time, intravascular contrast agent dose, radiation exposure, and morbidity in each space is presented. Finally, emerging applications and future directions are discussed. ©RSNA, 2022.

Abstract
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is used as a diagnostic adjunct to angiography and has become a valuable diagnostic and interventional tool with a well-documented safety profile. The American College of Cardiology and the European Society of Cardiology have published guidelines regarding the use of IVUS in the setting of percutaneous coronary intervention. IVUS has gained popularity in the interventional radiology (IR) community in recent years; however, there are no consensus guidelines for utilization. Furthermore, IVUS remains an infrequently used modality in pediatric IR, likely because of unfamiliarity with the equipment and techniques, as well as concerns over the compatibility of these instruments with pediatric anatomy. IVUS can be safely used as a helpful and sometimes necessary tool for pediatric interventions in appropriately selected patients. The utility of IVUS for reducing both fluoroscopy time and contrast agent volume makes it particularly valuable in pediatric practice. This article presents an overview of both the rotational and phased-array IVUS types and an in-depth discussion on the most common applications of these techniques in the pediatric setting across multiple procedure categories.

Abstract
Background An intravascular ultrasound catheter (IVUSc) was developed for intracardiac ultrasound to assess interventions with compelling results. However, intrahepatic vascular exploration was rarely tested and was always associated with X-ray techniques. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility to navigate through the whole liver using an IVUSc, providing high-quality images and making it unnecessary to use ionizing radiation.
Methods An ex vivo pig visceral block and an in vivo pig model were used in this study. The IVUS equipment was composed of an US system, and of an 8 French lateral firing IVUSc capable of producing 90-degree sector images in the longitudinal plane. After accessing the intravascular space with the IVUSc into the models, predetermined anatomical landmarks were visualized from the inferior vena cava and hepatic veins and corroborated. Results IVUS navigation was achieved in both models successfully. The entire navigation protocol took 87 and 48 min respectively, and 100% (21/21) and 96.15% (25/26) of the landmarks were correctly identified with the IVUSc alone in the ex vivo and in vivo models respectively. IVUS allowed to clearly visualize the vasculature beyond third-order branches of the hepatic and portal veins. Conclusions A complete IVUS liver navigation is feasible using the IVUSc alone, making it unnecessary to use ionizing radiation. This approach provides high-definition and real-time images of the complex liver structure and offers a great potential for future clinical applications during diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.
