Evercare Hospital Chattogram, the largest hospital in the port city, has launched Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) services as part of its modern cardiology treatment options. This advanced diagnostic tool provides high-resolution imaging from within blood vessels, aiding in more accurate diagnosis and treatment decisions for patients with coronary artery disease.
IVUS works by inserting a miniature ultrasound probe through a catheter to generate real-time images of artery walls, plaque buildup, and blood flow. This technology provides a more detailed assessment than traditional angiography, empowering doctors to evaluate the severity of blockages and perform precise stent placements during angioplasty procedures.
“The introduction of IVUS at Evercare Hospital Chattogram is a landmark in our commitment to deliver world-class cardiac care,” said Professor Dr. Shaikh Md Hasan Mamun, Senior Consultant & Departmental Coordinator, Clinical and Interventional Cardiology at Evercare Hospital Chattogram. “With this technology, our cardiologists can make more informed decisions, leading to better patient outcomes and fewer complications.”
IVUS brings several significant benefits for patients. It provides improved accuracy, allowing for precise diagnosis and personalized treatment plans, which would lead to better care tailored to the patient’s anatomy and condition. By optimizing stent placement, IVUS reduces the risk of complications, such as stent thrombosis and restenosis. Additionally, real-time imaging enables doctors to identify and address potential issues during procedures, thereby enhancing patient safety.
The launch of IVUS underscores Evercare Hospital Chattogram’s commitment to advanced medical innovation and delivering the highest quality of care to patients across the region.
