Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has an interesting history that parallels that of many of the advancements that have led to the endovascular era. The use of IVUS in conjunction with standard cross-sectional imaging and three-dimensional reconstructions offers a powerful tool in both the diagnosis and treatment of complex vascular pathology. The use of IVUS has increased over the years and is currently in the process of being incorporated into several modalities that will offer more in the way of real-time information in both the aortic arena and the treatment of increasingly complex peripheral vascular disease. Currently, we use IVUS as a powerful adjunct in combination with other modalities to increase our understanding of vessel architecture and assist in the management of complex vascular pathology.
