A Systematic Review on the Use of Intravascular Ultrasound and Optical Coherence Tomography During Femoropopliteal Endovascular Intervention.

ABSTRACT: Performing adjunctive intravascular imaging during femoropopliteal endovascular intervention could improve treatment planning and outcome. This systematic review assessed how imaging findings of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) can contribute to improving treatment planning and outcomes of patients with femoropopliteal arterial disease. Scopus and PubMed databases were searched from January 2011 to July 2023 for all studies reporting on the use of IVUS or OCT imaging findings in the treatment of femoropopliteal disease. The effect of IVUS and OCT imaging findings on treatment plan and outcome, as well as the predictive ability of IVUS and OCT for treatment outcome, were analyzed. A total of 42 studies (one randomized-controlled trial, 17 prospective, 2
