Geometric vascular remodeling after balloon angioplasty and beta-radiation therapy: A three-dimensional intravascular ultrasound study.
BACKGROUND Endovascular radiation appears to inhibit intimal thickening after overstretching balloon injury in animal models. The effect of brachytherapy on vascular remodeling is unknown. The aim of the study was to determine the evolution of coronary vessel dimensions after intracoronary irradiation after successful balloon angioplasty in humans. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-one consecutive p...
متن کاملEffects of intracoronary beta-radiation therapy after coronary angioplasty: an intravascular ultrasound study.
BACKGROUND Endovascular radiation is emerging as a potential solution for the prevention and treatment of restenosis. Its effects on the morphology of unstented vessels cannot be determined by angiography and therefore require the use of intravascular ultrasound. METHODS AND RESULTS Through a 5F noncentered catheter for delivery of a 90Sr/Y source train, 12, 14, or 16 Gy at 2 mm was delivered...
متن کاملDelivered dose and vascular response after beta-radiation for in-stent restenosis: retrospective dosimetry and volumetric intravascular ultrasound analysis.
BACKGROUND Observations from previous intracoronary radiation therapy trials noted a considerable discrepancy between the prescribed radiation dose and the dose actually delivered. The aims of this study were to investigate the effect of actual delivered dose on vascular changes and to test the appropriateness of the current dose prescription. METHODS AND RESULTS Serial volumetric intravascul...
متن کاملIntravascular Ultrasound Images Vessel Characterization Using AdaBoost
This paper presents a method for accurate location of the vessel borders based on boosting of classifiers and feature selection. Intravascular Ultrasound Images (IVUS) are an excellent tool for direct visualization of vascular pathologies and evaluation of the lumen and plaque in coronary arteries. Nowadays, the most common methods to separate the tissue from the lumen are based on gray levels ...
متن کاملIntravascular ultrasound assessment of the mechanisms and results of brachytherapy.
Serial intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) studies have shown that restenosis in nonstented lesions and late lumen loss in reference segments contiguous with both stented and nonstented lesions is a balance between arterial remodeling and neointimal hyperplasia. Conversely, in-stent restenosis (ISR) is neointimal hyperplasia.1,2 The present review focuses on lessons learned from IVUS about mechanis...
