Accuracy of optical frequency domain imaging for evaluation of coronary adventitial vasa vasorum formation after stent implantation in pigs and humans - a validation study - .
BACKGROUND Coronary adventitia harbors a wide variety of components, such as inflammatory cells and vasa vasorum (VV). Adventitial VV initiates the development of coronary artery diseases as an outside-in supply route of inflammation. We have recently demonstrated that drug-eluting stent implantation causes the enhancement of VV formation, with extending to the stent edges in the porcine corona...
متن کاملQuantification of plaque neovascularization using contrast ultrasound: a histologic validation.
AIMS The density of vasa vasorum within atherosclerotic plaque correlates with histologic features of plaque vulnerability in post-mortem studies. Imaging methods to non-invasively detect vasa vasorum are limited. We hypothesized that contrast ultrasound (CUS) can quantify vasa vasorum during atherosclerosis progression. METHODS AND RESULTS New Zealand white rabbits received a high-fat diet f...
متن کاملEndovascular optical coherence tomography intensity kurtosis: visualization of vasa vasorum in porcine carotid artery
Application of speckle variance optical coherence tomography (OCT) to endovascular imaging faces difficulty of extensive motion artifacts inherently associated with arterial pulsations in addition to other physiological movements. In this study, we employed a technique involving a fourth order statistical method, kurtosis, operating on the endovascular OCT intensity images to visualize the vasa...
متن کاملContrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging of the vasa vasorum: from early atherosclerosis to the identification of unstable plaques.
Proliferation of the adventitial vasa vasorum (VV) is inherently linked with early atherosclerotic plaque development and vulnerability. Recently, direct visualization of arterial VV and intraplaque neovascularization has emerged as a new surrogate marker for the early detection of atherosclerotic disease. This clinical review focuses on contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) as a noninvasive appl...
متن کاملEnhanced coronary vasa vasorum neovascularization in experimental hypercholesterolemia.
Coronary arteries contain a network of vasa vasorum in the adventitia. The three-dimensional anatomy of the vasa vasorum in early coronary atherosclerosis is unknown. This study was designed to visualize and quantitate the three-dimensional spatial pattern of vasa vasorum in normal and experimental hypercholesterolemic porcine coronary arteries, using a novel computed tomography technique. Anim...
