Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main study parameters/endpoints:Successful acquisition rate: Percentage (%) of pullbacks where both IVUS and PA data were successfully acquired in vivo from the same pullback.Safety: Number of device-related adverse events (e.g. spasm (>30% decrease in reference vessel diameter (RVD) on angiography), thrombus (OCT defined), dissection or perforation as identified by OCT or angiography?).Pre and post IVPA lab tests: (fragmented erythrocytes/schistocytes, hemoglobin (Hb), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), unconjugated bilirubin, Haptoglobin (Hp), plasma free hemoglobin (PFH). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary study parameters/endpoints Visibility of vascular features: Proportion of frames in which lumen and EEM border can be identified??, excluding areas with calcifications or side branchesLipid visualization: Proportion of frames with OCT detected lipid (angle >60 degrees) co-located with IVPA Usability/integration: ?Proportion of cases where the catheter is successfully advanced across the target segment and retrieved from the guiding catheter without complications and not showing signs of thrombus or visible signs of damage to the catheter. ?Procedure time: preparation time, operational time (total time from device insertion to removal) for both IVPA and OCT | — |
