Quantification of coronary hemodynamics and plaque morphology using X-ray angiography and intravascular ultrasound

چکیده

While the mechanisms of plaque development in coronary arteries are not yet completely understood, vessel geometry and its influence on hemodynamics are of major importance. This manuscript presents an overview on our method for spatio-temporal modeling of the coronary arteries by fusion of data from x-ray angiography and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and elaborates on the aspects of 4-D computational hemodynamics as well as an approach to directly correlate vessel geometry with plaque morphology.

Assessment of coronary plaque morphology by contrast-enhanced computed tomographic angiography: comparison with intravascular ultrasound.

BACKGROUND Computed tomographic (CT) angiography provides accurate noninvasive assessment for coronary artery stenosis. The ability of CT angiography to determine plaque morphology remains unclear. METHODS Twelve patients undergoing intravascular ultrasound for clinical indications underwent CT angiography for the evaluation of plaque morphology. Plaque morphology was classified as (1) soft, ...

Prospective validation of standardized, 3-dimensional, quantitative coronary computed tomographic plaque measurements using radiofrequency backscatter intravascular ultrasound as reference standard in intermediate coronary arterial lesions: results from the ATLANTA (assessment of tissue characteristics, lesion morphology, and hemodynamics by angiography with fractional flow reserve, intravascular ultrasound and virtual histology, and noninvasive computed tomography in atherosclerotic plaques) I study.

OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine the accuracy of 3-dimensional, quantitative measurements of coronary plaque by computed tomography angiography (CTA) against intravascular ultrasound with radiofrequency backscatter analysis (IVUS/VH). BACKGROUND Quantitative, 3-dimensional coronary CTA plaque measurements have not been validated against IVUS/VH. METHODS Sixty patients in a prospect...

I Prefer Imaging-Guided PCI

Coronary angiography is routinely employed to guide decision making in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). However, its luminological limitations are well known. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is a well-established intravascular imaging tool that not only assesses the severity of luminal stenosis but also can provide an accurate description of plaque morphology and c...

Plaque development, vessel curvature, and wall shear stress in coronary arteries assessed by X-ray angiography and intravascular ultrasound

The relationships among vascular geometry, hemodynamics, and plaque development in the coronary arteries are complex and not yet well understood. This paper reports a methodology for the quantitative analysis of in vivo coronary morphology and hemodynamics, with particular emphasis placed on the critical issues of image segmentation and the automated classification of disease severity. We were ...
