Abstract:
Objective: Due to the high cost and complicated imaging interpretation of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), we conducted a comparative study between AngioLight system and IVUS measurement of coronary diameter to explore the safety and efifcacy of AngioLight performance in experiment pigs.
Methods: There were 3 reference target points established in left anterior descending (LAD), left circumlfex (LCX) and right coronary arteries (RCA) in 3 Chinese mini-pigs. Each coronary branch had①target point, ②proximal target point, which was (10-15) mm up to target point,③distaltarget point, which was (10-15) mm down to target point. The coronary diameters were measured and compared by both IVUS and AngioLight system. Upon stent implantation, the diameters were measured again by both IVUS and AngioLight system at distaltarget point, stent edge of distal target point and proximal target point, stent edge of proximal target point respectively. And results comparison between AngioLight and IVUS were also compared.
Results: In 25 measurements, neither adverse complication nor death were occurred during the study. There were no significant statistical differences between IVUS real-time max diameter and AngioLight catheter max diameter measurements (2.57 ± 0.54) mm vs (2.70 ± 0.49) mm,P=0.09, as well as between IVUS analyzed max diameter and AngioLight catheter max diameter (2.68 ± 0.6) mm vs (2.59 ± 0.42) mm,P=0.37. In addition, good correlations were observed (r= 0.73,P<0.001) and (r= 0.67,P=0.001) respectively.
Conclusion: Angio Light system has good safety and correlation with IVUS for quantitative measurement of coronary diameter in experimental pigs.
