The In-Vivo Optical Spectroscopy (INVOS) system shows promise as a prognostic tool for peripheral arterial disease (PAD) endovascular treatment. A specific INVOS/systolic blood pressure ratio fold change indicates better outcomes, aiding patient care.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Medical Devices
- Biomedical Engineering
Background:
- Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) treatment relies on endovascular revascularization, but intraoperative prognostic tools are limited.
- The In-Vivo Optical Spectroscopy (INVOS) system, a non-invasive near-infrared spectroscopy device, measures tissue oxygenation.
- This pilot study investigates INVOS as a prognostic tool for endovascular PAD treatment.
