We developed a novel intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) method to measure coronary blood flow, enabling simultaneous assessment of vessel geometry and function. This technique provides accurate hemodynamic severity and interventional therapy outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Hemodynamics

Background:

  • Coronary flow assessment is crucial for evaluating stenosis severity and interventional therapy outcomes.
  • Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) traditionally provides vessel geometry but lacks functional flow data.
  • Simultaneous assessment of vessel geometry and blood flow using a single device is clinically desirable.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and review a method for measuring transverse coronary blood flow using IVUS.
  • To enable simultaneous assessment of coronary vessel geometry and hemodynamics.
  • To improve the accuracy of stenosis severity evaluation and interventional therapy outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a method to measure transverse flow within the IVUS imaging plane.

  • Estimated flow velocity using decorrelation of radiofrequency (RF) traces.
  • Integrated local velocity estimates over the lumen for quantitative flow measurement.
  • Validated the method using computer modeling, in vitro flow phantoms, porcine models, and human studies against a Doppler guidewire.

    • Main Results:

    • Successfully calibrated and tested the IVUS-based flow measurement principle.
    • Demonstrated feasibility in various experimental settings, including human validation.
    • The method allows for simultaneous, co-localized measurement of lumen diameter and flow velocity.
    • Ongoing development for array-based IVUS systems aims to overcome limitations of single-element devices.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed IVUS method enables quantitative coronary blood flow assessment.
    • This technique allows for simultaneous evaluation of coronary vessel anatomy and function.
    • It offers potential for more accurate hemodynamic assessment and improved guidance for interventional procedures.
