With IVUS, a tiny ultrasound device is inserted into the vessel via a catheter to produce cross-sectional and 3D images of the vessel for more accurate information on vessel dimensions and plaque morphology. The balloons used in the study were also coated with drugs that help to prevent further plaque buildup.
