Summary

Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is limited for carotid free-floating thrombus (CFFT) evaluation. Intravascular optical coherence tomography (OCT) offers superior detail for diagnosis and treatment guidance.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular imaging
  • Interventional neurology
  • Medical device technology

Background:

  • Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is a standard but limited tool for visualizing carotid free-floating thrombus (CFFT).
  • DSA lacks detailed luminal and thrombus composition information, hindering etiological diagnosis.
  • Accurate CFFT characterization is crucial for effective stroke prevention strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the utility of intravascular optical coherence tomography (OCT) as an adjunct to DSA for CFFT assessment.
  • To compare the diagnostic capabilities of OCT and DSA in characterizing thrombus structure and composition.
  • To determine OCT's role in guiding endovascular treatment decisions for CFFTs.

Main Methods:

  • Intravascular optical coherence tomography (OCT) was employed alongside digital subtraction angiography (DSA).
  • OCT provided high-resolution imaging of the carotid artery lumen and vessel wall.
  • Thrombus characteristics, including composition (red vs. white thrombus), were analyzed using OCT.

Main Results:

  • OCT precisely delineated the extent of free-floating thrombi within the carotid artery.
  • OCT accurately distinguished between red and white thrombus components, offering etiological insights.
  • OCT provided detailed visualization of the intrinsic vessel wall, complementing DSA findings.

Conclusions:

  • Intravascular OCT is a valuable adjunct to DSA for comprehensive CFFT evaluation.
  • OCT enhances diagnostic accuracy by revealing thrombus composition and detailed luminal structures.
  • OCT imaging aids in guiding endovascular treatment decisions for carotid free-floating thrombus.
