Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods for evaluating a vessel and tracking progression of an intravascular procedure are disclosed. In an embodiment, a medical system is disclosed. One embodiment of the medical system comprises a medical processing unit in communication with an intravascular device configured to obtain intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) data and with an external ultrasound device configured to obtain external ultrasound data. The medical processing unit is configured to receive the IVUS data from the intravascular device, wherein the intravascular device is positioned proximate to an aneurysm, receive the external ultrasound data from the external ultrasound device, wherein the external ultrasound device is positioned to image the aneurysm, and track progression of a coil embolization of the aneurysm based on the IVUS data and the external ultrasound data.
