      Automated analysis of intravascular OCT image volumes
      This disclosure provides systems and methods to automatically classify stent struts as covered or uncovered and to measure the thickness of tissue coverage. As one example, the method includes storing three-dimensional image data acquired intravascularly via an optical coherence tomography (OCT) apparatus and detecting struts based on analysis of the image data. Image data corresponding to each of the detected struts is further analyzed automatically to compute an indication of ...

      Analysis of optical tomography (OCT) images
      A method includes storing three-dimensional image data acquired intravascularly via an optical coherence tomography (OCT) apparatus. The image data is analyzed to compute a probability estimate of stent presence at support positions appearing in an A-line. Stent strut locations are located in three-dimensional space based on the computed probability estimate of stent presence.

      Deep neural networks for A-line-based plaque classification in coronary intravascular optical coherence tomography images
      We develop neural-network-based methods for classifying plaque types in clinical intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) images of coronary arteries. A single IVOCT pullback can consist of 500 microscopic-resolution images, creating both a challenge for physician interpretation during an interventional procedure and an opportunity for automated analysis. In the proposed method, we classify each A-line, a datum element that better captures physics and pathophysiology than a voxel, as a fibrous layer ...

      Optimizing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Calcified Lesions Insights From Optical Coherence Tomography of Atherectomy
      Optimal coronary stent implantation is among the few successful strategies in preventing stent failures, notably in-stent restenosis and stent thrombosis. 1 Understanding the intravascular milieu is a prerequisite for optimization of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Calcified lesions limit stent expansion, the most robust predictor of target lesion revascularization, and are thus associated with worst outcomes. 2 Coronary angiography is a poor discriminator of calcium distribution and thickness. Reliance on angiography ...

      Association of skin autofluorescence with plaque vulnerability evaluated by optical coherence tomography in patients with cardiovascular disease
      Background and aims Accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) can be measured non-invasively by skin autofluorescence (SAF) whose values are elevated in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an intravascular imaging modality that could allow visualization of plaque composition. We aim to examine the relationship between SAF and plaque composition evaluated by frequency-domain OCT in patients with CVD. Methods We prospectively enrolled 108 patients with ...

      Mobilization of progenitor cells and assessment of vessel healing after second generation drug-eluting stenting by optical coherence tomography
      Background Bone marrow-derived progenitor cells likely contribute to both endothelial- and smooth muscle cell-dependent healing responses in stent-injured vessel sites. This study aimed to assess mobilization of progenitor cells and vessel healing after zotarolimus-eluting (ZES) and everolimus-eluting (EES) stents. Methods and results In 63 patients undergoing coronary stent implantation, we measured circulating CD34 + CD133 + CD45low cells and serum levels of biomarkers relevant to stem cell mobilization . In 31 patients of ...

      OCT guidance during stent implantation in primary Pci: A randomized multicenter study with nine months of optical coherence tomography follow-up
      Aims To assess the possible merits of optical coherence tomography (OCT) guidance in primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). Methods and results 201 patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) were enrolled in this study. Patients were randomized either to pPCI alone (angio-guided group, n = 96) or to pPCI with OCT guidance (OCT-guided group, n = 105) and also either to biolimus A9 or to everolimus-eluting stent implantation. All patients were scheduled for ...

      Automated Volumetric Intravascular Plaque Classification Using Optical Coherence Tomography
      An estimated 17.5 million people died from a cardiovascular disease in 2012, representing 31 percent of all global deaths. Most acute coronary events result from rupture of the protective fibrous cap overlying an atherosclerotic plaque. The task of early identification of plaque types that can potentially rupture is, therefore, of great importance. The state-of-the-art approach to imaging blood vessels is intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT). However, currently, this is ...

      Objectives The aim of the present study was to evaluate vascular healing of the bioengineered COMBO Dual Therapy Stent compared with a cobalt-chromium (CoCr) everolimus-eluting stent (EES) as assessed by optical coherence tomography in patients with acute coronary syndromes. Background CD34+ cells promote endothelial repair after vascular injury.

      Difference in Vascular Response between Sirolimus-eluting- and Everolimus-eluting Stents in Ostial Left Circumflex Artery after Unprotected Left Main as Observed by
      Background Kissing-balloon technique (KBT) is commonly performed during percutaneous coronary intervention of distal unprotected left main coronary artery (ULM) aiming at obtaining optimal opening of the side branch (left circumflex artery; LCX) ostium. Nonetheless, detailed evaluation of vascular response to stents in LCX ostium is lacking. We therefore evaluated the vascular response to different drug-eluting stents (DES) in ostial LCX after ULM by means of optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods ...
