The outer diameter of the integrated probe is 0.69 mm, which is small enough for imaging in human coronary arteries. This probe, which has high resolution and deep tissue penetration, is designed to identify vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques in coronary arteries. The first in vivo images of a rabbit abdominal aorta obtained by the integrated OCT-US probe are presented. Keywords: atherosclerosis, vulnerable plaque, intravascular ultrasound, optical coherent tomography ABSTRACT Coronary artery atherosclerosis is a major public health problem associated with high clinical morbidity and mortality. For over 20 years, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging has been a standard diagnostic tool for atherosclerosis1. Recently, optical coherence tomography (OCT) with high resolution, has been applied to intravascular imaging because it enables direct imaging of thin fibrous cap2, one of the key feature of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque, and tissue responses to stent implantation1.

Patients with significant CAV are often asymptomatic, and Philadelphia, PA, USA therefore early detection by routine screening prior to graft dysfunction is crucial. There are a variety of invasive, noninvasive, and blood tests that have been studied as screening methods, and we will discuss the role of each of these in this review article. Although some treatment regimens have been established for CAV, this is an area where further studies and research are necessary.

  • Intravascular Ultrasound for Coronary Vessels Policy Number: MP-091 Last Review Date: 11/14/2019 Effective Date: 01/01/2020
    Intravascular Ultrasound for Coronary Vessels Policy Number: MP-091 Last Review Date: 11/14/2019 Effective Date: 01/01/2020 Policy Evolent Health considers Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) for Coronary Vessels medically necessary for either of the following indications: 1. IVUS of the coronary arteries (consistent with the 2011 ACCF/AHA Guidelines for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) 5.4.2) is indicated for any of the following medical reasons: a. To confirm clinical suspicion of a significant left main coronary artery stenosis when standard angiography is indeterminate; b. To detect rapidly progressive cardiac allograft vasculopathy following heart transplant; c. To determine the mechanism of stent thrombosis or restenosis; d. To assess non-left main coronary arteries with angiographic intermediate stenosis (50-70%) to aid the decision whether or not to place a stent; or, e. To assist in guidance of complex coronary stent implementation, especially involving the L main coronary artery. 2. In lieu of coronary angiography when performed to minimize use of iodinated contrast material in an individual with compromised renal function, congestive heart failure or known contrast allergy. Limitations Coronary IVUS is not covered for any of the following (this is not an all-inclusive list): 1. Screening for coronary artery disease in asymptomatic individuals; 2. Routine lesion assessment is not recommended when revascularization with PCI or Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) is not being considered; 3. Carotid stent placement; 4. Follow-up monitoring of medical therapies for atherosclerosis; 5. Peripheral vascular intervention; or, 6. Evaluation of chronic venous obstruction or to guide venous stenting. Background Ultrasound diagnostic procedures utilizing low energy sound waves are being widely employed to determine the composition and contours of nearly all body tissues except bone and air-filled spaces.
