Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has become an important adjunct in the endovascular treatment of thoracoabdominal aortic pathology. In this article, we hope to describe and define the expanding role of IVUS as a tool for the vascular surgeon in the treatment of thoracoabdominal aortic dissections, aneurysms, and transections. IVUS is of particular benefit in the treatment of aortic dissections and aortic transections.
