Insight Lifetech Intravascular Ultrasound Diagnostic System (referred to as Insight Lifetech IVUS system below),is a new high-speed and high-resolution device for clearly defining vessel architecture and plaque morphology, providing quantitative and qualitative assessment of coronary arteries. Besides, IVUS has already an established role in guidance and optimization of percutaneous coronary intervention. This study will compare the differences, if any, between the intravascular ultrasound(IVUS) results measured by the two different IVUS diagnostic systems.
Many studies have reported that IVUS is an accurate method for determining the size of the target vessel undergoing stent implantation , and the optimal stent deployment (complete stent expansion and apposition and lack of edge dissection or other complications after implantation). The novel 60 megahertz(60MHz) high-definition IVUS has evolved as a next-generation IVUS imaging technology to provide higher image resolution than conventional 40 megahertz(40MHz) IVUS but with sufficient imaging depth preserved for the assessment of the entire vessel wall structure. Insight Lifetech IVUS system includes TrueVision IVUS diagnostic catheter and VivoHeart IVUS diagnostic console. It is a novel device with high speed, high resolution, and high image acquisition rate enabling high-speed pullback imaging up to 10mm/sec. This study is a prospective, multi-center, randomized, single-blind, controlled study with the primary target of investigating the differences, if any, between IVUS measurement results by the Insight Lifetech IVUS system and Boston Scientific IVUS system, imaging catheter of which was available at 40MHz during the study. Other purposes included analyzing the feasibility of the Insight Lifetech IVUS system's high-speed pullback during the IVUS assessment. A total of 130 patients will be recruited from 5 centers in China.

Detection rate of poor adherence, tissue prolapse and intercalation, for each system individually, and comparison between the two systems.
Time frame: estimated 1 month on average, by a third-party corelab IVUS image post-analysis
Stability of system (questionnaire)
Evaluate the stability of both systems concluded from all enrolled case using questionnaire, including below measures : 1. the stability of IVUS examination ; 2. the usability of system operation; 3. the definition of images. For each system in 1., 2., and 3., only one of the following five ratings is given: * very stable/convenient/clear images; * stable/convenient/clear images, inspection was unaffected; * slightly unstable/inconvenient/unclear images, inspection was unaffected; * unstable/inconvenient/unclear images, inspection was affected; (in the order of 1./2./3.) * N/A. and is counted as 1 point for that particular rating. The distribution of the points in rating and how many points each rating individually owns are compared between the systems.
Time frame: estimated 1week on average, by opeartor's rating on questionaire
Maneuvering performance of catheter (questionnaire)
Evaluate the maneuvering performance of catheters in the two systems concluded from all enrolled case, including below measures : 1. the pushability 2. the crossability 3. the angiographic visibility For each system in 1., 2., and 3., only one of the following five ratings is given: * excellent pushability/lesion crossability/visibility; * pushing met slight resistance/crossed lesion smoothly/good visibility, inspection was unaffected; * pushing met obvious resistance/crossed lesion after attempts/mediocre visibility, inspection was unaffected; * too resistant to push/unable to cross lesion/very poor visibility, inspection was affected; (in the order of 1./2./3.) * N/A. and is counted as 1 point for that particular rating. The distribution of the points in rating and how many points each rating individually owns are compared between the systems.
Time frame: estimated 1week on average, by opeartor's rating on questionaire
