Abstract:

The incidence of the lower extremity venous disorder is high, which seriously affects the quality of life in patients. Endovascular strategy has become an important treatment for venous disease of the lower extremity. Intraoperative venography usually can not provide detailed information about intravenous or perivascular structures. In contrast, endovascular imaging such as intravascular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography can not only reduce the use of contrast agents, evaluate intravenous and perivascular structures, but also accurately measure the anatomic parameters and provide information for subsequent treatment. This article reviewed the relevant experience and summarized the mechanism, characteristics, and clinical applications of intravascular imaging.

Key words: Intravascular ultrasound, Optical coherence tomography, Lower extremity venous disorder
