Conditions

Peripheral Artery Disease

Brief summary

A non inferiority trial to determine the capability of optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging to show vessel morphology in comparison to imaging provided by intravascular ultrasound imaging (IVUS).

Detailed description

Patients requiring diagnostic imaging of peripheral vessels to determine vessel condition and planning treatment strategy will have vessel segments imaged by both OCT and IVUS imaging catheters. The images will be collected into a library and independent readers will rank each image on the quality of vessel morphology and disease.

Freedom From Adverse EventsOn day of diagnostic imaging procedures, up to 1 hourPrimary safety endpoint is freedom from diagnostic imaging procedure-related and device-associated adverse events.
Visualization of Vessel Morphology: Stent StructureDuring the diagnostic imaging procedures, up to 5 minutesThe primary endpoint was met when OCT imaging had the equivalent or lower mean score than IVUS imaging when comparing stent structure. Images were scored on a scale from 1 to 3. A lower score means better image quality and a higher score means worse image quality. Scoring Scale for image quality of Stent Structure: 1. Excellent image; 2. Acceptable image: 3. Unacceptably poor image.
Visualization of Vessel Morphology: ArtifactsDuring the diagnostic imaging procedures, up to 5 minutesThe primary endpoint was met when OCT imaging had the equivalent or lower mean score than IVUS imaging when comparing imaging artifacts. Images were scored on a scale from 1 to 3. A lower score means better image quality and a higher score means worse image quality. Scoring Scale for image quality of artifacts: 1. None; 2. Tolerable/not limiting; 3. Is intense and limits image quality.
Visualization of Vessel Morphology: Layered StructureDuring the diagnostic imaging procedures, up to 5 minutesThe primary endpoint was met when OCT imaging had the equivalent or lower mean score than IVUS imaging when comparing layered structures. Images were scored on a scale from 1 to 4. A lower score means better image quality and a higher score means worse image quality. Scoring Scale for image quality of layered structure: 1. clear differentiation of vessel wall layers; 2. differentiation of 3 wall layers; 3. differentiation of 2 wall layers; 4. no differentiation visible
Visualization of Vessel Morphology: Non-layered StructureDuring the diagnostic imaging procedures, up to 5 minutesThe primary endpoint was met when OCT imaging had the equivalent or lower mean score than IVUS imaging when comparing non-layered structures. Images were scored on a scale from 1 to 5. A lower score means better image quality and a higher score means worse image quality. Scoring scale for image quality of non-layered structure: 1-Excellent histology-like image quality to 5-unacceptably poor image quality
Visualization of Vessel Morphology: CalcificationDuring the diagnostic imaging procedures, up to 5 minutesThe primary endpoint was met when OCT imaging had the equivalent or lower mean score than IVUS imaging when comparing images for calcification. Images were scored on a scale from 1 to 5. A lower score means better image quality and a higher score means worse image quality. Scoring Scale for image quality for calcification: 1- Excellent histology-like image quality to 5- Unacceptably poor image quality.
