Combined Near-Infrared Spectroscopy and Intravascular Ultrasound Imaging of Pre-Existing Coronary Artery Stents: Can Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Reliably Detect Neoatherosclerosis?

BACKGROUND Neoatherosclerosis is an emerging phenomenon in which lipid-rich plaques (LRPs) develop within pre-existing stents. This study was undertaken to describe near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and intravascular ultrasound findings in pre-existing stents and to compare NIRS findings in pre-existing stents, in which an increased lipid signal has been speculated to indicate neoatherosclerosi...

Increased thin-cap neoatheroma and periprocedural myocardial infarction in drug-eluting stent restenosis: multimodality intravascular imaging of drug-eluting and bare-metal stents.

BACKGROUND Re-endothelialization is delayed after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation. In this setting, neointima is more prone to become lipid laden and develop neoatherosclerosis (NA), potentially increasing plaque vulnerability. METHODS AND RESULTS Optical coherence tomography and near-infrared spectroscopy with intravascular ultrasound were used to characterize NA in 65 (51 DES and 14 b...

Quantitative Comparison of Analytical solution and Finite Element Method for investigation of Near-Infrared Light Propagation in Brain Tissue Model

Introduction: Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) is an imaging method in which light source and detector are installed on the head; consequently, re-emission of light from human skin contains information about cerebral hemodynamic alteration. The spatial probability distribution profile of photons penetrating tissue at a source spot, scattering into the tissue, and being released at ...

Atherosclerosis, neoatherosclerosis, and vascular disease.

Geoffrey Rose (1926–1993) pioneered the concept that, to reduce the burden of disease, improving the population distribution of a risk factor was preferable to interventions that target high-risk individuals. This strategy has become commonplace today and the basis of many guidelines. – 4 To strengthen this approach, the European Society of Cardiology has thus established the Geoffrey Rose Lect...

Casting light on coronary evaginations: different mechanisms in different coronary devices?

Stent thrombosis (ST) remains a major concern due to high morbidity and mortality in both the short and long term. Although the rates of this complication have been reduced with newer generation drug-eluting stents (DES), the risk of ST continues to persist for all DES and was recently also reported in bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS). – 4 Among the suggested causes of ST are incomplete n...
