An IVUS pigtail catheter is provided. The IVUS pigtail catheter includes an array of transducers for performing intravascular ultrasound imaging and a pigtail end portion for performing angiographic imaging. The IVUS pigtail catheter facilitates both IVUS imaging and angiographic imaging without the need to exchange catheters. This allows surgical procedures performed using the IVUS pigtail catheter to be faster, more accurate, and less complicated. Methods of utilizing the IVUS pigtail catheter are also provided. |
