IVUS, OCT, FFR, DFR Guided Angioplasty

Modern angioplasty has evolved far beyond traditional stenting. With advanced tools like IVUS (Intravascular Ultrasound), OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography), FFR (Fractional Flow Reserve), and DFR (Diastolic Flow Ratio), cardiologists can now see inside the arteries, measure blood flow precisely, and make evidence-based decisions to optimize stenting outcomes.

These tools help:

  • IVUS: Visualize artery walls and plaque buildup using ultrasound.

  • OCT: Provide high-resolution, cross-sectional images of the vessel.

  • FFR: Measure pressure differences across a blockage to determine its significance.

  • DFR: A non-hyperemic, pressure-based index to assess coronary lesions without the use of medications.

Signs & Symptoms That May Indicate the Need for Advanced Angioplasty

  • Persistent chest pain (angina)

  • Shortness of breath, especially during exertion

  • Fatigue or weakness

  • Dizziness or fainting spells

  • Symptoms not improving despite medications

  • Previous stents that are failing or causing restenosis

  •  

Diagnostic Procedures

At Dr. Priyam Mukherjee’s clinic, a detailed diagnostic evaluation is conducted, which may include:

  • ECG, echocardiography, and stress tests
  • Coronary angiography
  • Use of IVUS/OCT during angiography to assess lesion severity
  • FFR/DFR measurements to evaluate functional significance of blockages
