Optical coherence tomography in coronary atherosclerosis assessment and interve...
Araki, Makoto; Park, Seung-Jung; Dauerman, Harold L.; Uemura, Shiro; Kim, Jung-Sun; Di Mario, Carlo; Johnson, Thomas W.; Guagliumi, GiulioSince optical coherence tomography (OCT) was first performed in humans two decades ago, this imaging modality has been widely adopted in research on coronary atherosclerosis and adopted clinically for the optimization of percutaneous coronary intervention. In the past 10 years, substantial advances have been made in the understanding of in vivo vascular biology using OCT. Identification by OCT of culprit plaque...
Automatic 3D aortic annulus sizing by computed tomography in the planning of tr...
Queirós, Sandro Filipe Monteiro; Dubois, Christophe; Morais, Pedro André Gonçalves; Adriaenssens, Tom; Fonseca, Jaime C.; Vilaça, João L.; D'hooge, JanBackground: Accurate imaging assessment of aortic annulus (AoA) dimension is paramount to decide on the correct transcatheter heart valve (THV) size for patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). We evaluated the feasibility and accuracy of a novel automatic framework for multi detector row computed tomography (MDCT)-based TAVI planning. Methods: Among 122 consecutive patients undergoin...
