  ABSTRACT: Most important interventional application of IVUS is plaque assessment, vessel sizing and stent implantation guidance. Image guided PCIisassociatedwith decreased incidence of stent thrombosis and MACE rate as evident in recently published meta-analysis of IVUS guided PCI studies. Many imaging studies have shown very clearly under-expansion, edge-dissection, tissue-prolapse, mal apposition, and geographical miss are associated with adverse events following DES implantation, and IVI guides in optimization of stent implantation by identifying and rectifying these predictors of DES outcomes.
