Sorry but this is a non professional patients forum just swapping experiences, not medical advice.

Had just written something similar to bantam12, your first port of call should be with your cardiologist/GP.

any one involved in the ISCHEMIA trial?

Hello and welcome to the forum! As bantam12 has said this is a peer-to-peer support group and not a professional cardioligists' forum.

I am actually trying to decide if you are asking for yourself or someone else?

Rotablation is a procedure to drill out hardened arterial plaque whilst IVUS is Intravascular Ultrasound is a real time process for diagnosis of the degree of stenosis and placement of stents.

I would suggest this person discusses options with his cardiologist whilst making any appropriate lifestyle changes not already made.
