2. Optical Coherence Tomography Findings At Two Years Follow Up In Fully Biodegradable Everolimus Eluting Stents

   Circulation (Nov 10 2008) Cardiology Explore Article

   Fully biodegradable stents may avoid the potential long-term complications of metallic drug-eluting stents such as late and very late stent thrombosis. We sought to evaluate the structural changes in a bioabsorbable DES and its interaction with the coronary vessel wall over time using optical coherence tomography (OCT). We investigated 14 consecutive patients undergoing implantation of a bioabsorbable everolimus-eluting coronary stent (BVS: Abbott Laboratories, IL, USA), composed of a poly-L-lactic acid ...

6. The influence of strut thickness and cell design on immediate apposition of drug-eluting stents assessed by optical coherence tomography

   International Journal of Cardiology (Sep 9 2008) Cardiology Explore Article

   Background Stent strut malapposition correlates with poor intimal coverage and this may increase the risk of late stent thrombosis. At present, there is limited data on whether stent strut thickness and stent design impact on acute apposition. We aimed to investigate the influence of stent strut thickness and design on acute stent strut apposition (SSA) immediately following drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation using optical coherence tomography (OCT), a technique with higher ...

7. The use of intra-coronary optical coherence tomography for the assessment of sirolimus-eluting stent fracture

   International Journal of Cardiology (Sep 1 2008) Cardiology Explore Article

   Drug-eluting stents (DES) have made a tremendous impact on the practice of percutaneous coronary intervention. Recently however, long-term DES failures have become a focal point, particularly with restenosis and thrombosis. An uncommon, yet important cause of DES failure is stent fracture. Of the two established first generation DES, the sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) has been particularly linked to cases of stent fracture, likely as a result of its closed cell design ...

9. Assessment of Culprit and Remote Coronary Narrowings Using Optical Coherence Tomography With Long-Term Outcomes

   American Journal of Cardiology (Aug 18 2008) Cardiology Explore Article

   Much currently known information about vulnerable plaque stems from postmortem studies that identified several characteristics making them prone to rupture, including the presence of a thin fibrous cap and a large lipid core. This study used optical coherence tomography (OCT) to assess culprit and remote coronary narrowings and investigate whether intracoronary OCT in living patients was able to visualize morphologic features associated with vulnerable plaque in postmortem studies. Twenty-three patients ... (Read Full Article)

10. Azimuthal Registration of Image Sequences Affected by Nonuniform Rotation Distortion

    IEEE Xplore (Aug 13 2008) Cardiology Explore Article

    Imaging modalities that use a mechanically rotated endoscopic probe to scan a tubular volume, such as an artery, often suffer from image degradation due to nonuniform rotation distortion (NURD). In this paper, we present a new method to align individual lines in a sequence of images. It is based on dynamic time warping, finding a continuous path through a cost matrix that measures the similarity between regions of two frames ... (Read Full Article)

    The purpose of this experiment was to evaluate the ability of optical coherence tomography (OCT) to image vertical root fractures (VRFs). Twenty-five mandibular premolars were prepared to size 50. Five teeth served as controls. Group 1 (n = 10) was treated with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and ultrasonic irrigation, whereas group 2 (n = 10) received no further treatments. Teeth from groups 1 and 2 were fractured, and the presence of a ... (Read Full Article)

    HubMed (Mar 29 2008) Cardiology Explore Article

    BACKGROUND: A fully bioabsorbable drug-eluting coronary stent that scaffolds the vessel wall when needed and then disappears once the acute recoil and constrictive remodelling processes have subsided has theoretical advantages. The bioasorbable everolimus-eluting stent (BVS) has a backbone of poly-L-lactic acid that provides the support and a coating of poly-D,L-lactic acid that contains and controls the release of the antiproliferative agent everolimus. We assessed the feasibility and safety of this ... (Read Full Article)
