Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) Market Report - 2011 Edition IVUS, which stands for Intravascular Ultrasound, is primarily used

to view the c oronary arteries from inside, with the help of high frequency sound waves. The p rimary use of IVUS is during Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) or angiopl asty, as it provides a better understanding of blocked vessels, which allows for proper selection and placement of stents and other devices to restore blood flo w at the site of the blockage. In fact, after stenting, the IVUS procedures are used to determine whether the stent has been placed correctly or not and thereby it helps to place the stent optimally and thereby reducing the need for re-sten osis. The IVUS procedures are generally performed in the catheterization laborat ories or cath-labs. Owing to the benefits provided by the IVUS technology in the medical field, the IVUS market has shown increasing growth in the past years. Despite increase in u sage, the IVUS technology is still under penetrated worldwide, one of the main r easons for this being the fact that the reimbursement criteria for the IVUS is n ot flexible and the insurers do not generally reimburse the IVUS procedures. In Japan, where IVUS reimbursement criteria are flexible, the technology has high p enetration rates and IVUS procedures are accompanied with a majority of the PCI procedures. The second largest market for IVUS in terms of usage is the US, foll owed by Europe. With the introduction of IVUS in the emerging countries, coupled with the increasing consumer income, increasing health awareness among the peop le and favoring demographics, such countries are expected to drive the IVUS mark et in coming years. know more about Market Reports click here http://www.konceptanalytics.com/report Detail.aspx?reportID=302 Website http://www.konceptanalytics.com/ 1.
