The method allows precise assessment of plaque morphology and calcification, selection of optimal stent size, and intraoperative monitoring of stent expansion and wall apposition. Current evidence shows that integrating IVUS into carotid stenting protocols significantly reduces periprocedural complications, minimizes the risk of early restenosis, and improves long-term clinical outcomes. This technology enables a personalized approach and underscores the need for its routine use to enhance both safety and long-term efficacy in carotid and, potentially, vertebral artery stenting. Technical aspects and limitations of the method are also discussed.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Применение внутрисосудистого ультразвукового исследования (ВСУЗИ) при стентировании брахиоцефальных артерий является потенциальным инструментом оптимизации этих эндоваскулярных вмешательств. Метод позволяет точно оценить морфологию и кальциноз бляшки, подобрать оптимальный размер стента и интраоперационно контролировать качество его экспансии и аппозиции к стенке сосуда. На сегодняшний день внедрение ВСУЗИ в протокол стентирования сонных артерий достоверно снижает риск периоперационных осложнений, минимизирует вероятность раннего рестеноза и значительно улучшает отдалённые клинические результаты. Технология обеспечивает персонализированный подход и подчёркивает необходимость её рутинного использования для повышения безопасности и долгосрочной эффективности стентирования сонных и, возможно, позвоночных артерий. В статье также обсуждаются технические нюансы и ограничения метода.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>intravascular ultrasound</kwd><kwd>atherosclerosis</kwd><kwd>atherogenesis</kwd><kwd>carotid stenting</kwd><kwd>cerebrovascular disease</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>внутрисосудистое ультразвуковое исследование</kwd><kwd>атеросклероз</kwd><kwd>атерогенез</kwd><kwd>каротидное стентирование</kwd><kwd>цереброваскулярная патология</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Feigin VL, Norrving B, Martins S, et al.
