Interventional cardiologists utilize a variety of diagnostic equipment and imaging techniques to evaluate cardiovascular functions like blood pressure and blood flow in main arteries throughout the body as well as within the heart's various chambers. Interventional procedures can be used to repair septal defects and patent artery ducts, balloon and stent stenosed arteries, implant artificial valves into conduits, and ablate aberrant conduction routes. Intravascular ultrasonography is a catheter-based imaging method that was created to examine the vulnerability of coronary arteries and, in particular, coronary atherosclerotic plaques. Coronary intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is increasingly important in catheterization laboratories owing to its positive prognostic impact.
