  Abstract

Currently, vascularity of the coronary artery wall can be assessed only in vitro. We sought to determine if there is any contrast enhancement of the coronary artery wall after injection of echocontrast media during in vivo intravascular ultrasound imaging, which may represent blood flow within the wall supplied by the vasa vasorum.

Keywords: Intravascular ultrasound; Vasa vasorum
