Study summary

A non inferiority trial to determine the capability of optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging to show vessel morphology in comparison to imaging provided by intravascular ultrasound imaging (IVUS).

Read the detailed description

Patients requiring diagnostic imaging of peripheral vessels to determine vessel condition and planning treatment strategy will have vessel segments imaged by both OCT and IVUS imaging catheters. The images will be collected into a library and independent readers will rank each image on the quality of vessel morphology and disease.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Visualization of Vessel Morphology: Layered Structure

    The primary endpoint was met when OCT imaging had the equivalent or lower mean score than IVUS imaging when comparing layered structures. Images were scored on a scale from 1 to 4. A lower score means better image quality and a higher score means worse image quality. Scoring Scale for image quality of layered structure: 1. clear differentiation of vessel wall layers; 2. differentiation of 3 wall layers; 3. differentiation of 2 wall layers; 4. no differentiation visible

    Time frame: During the diagnostic imaging procedures, up to 5 minutes

  2. Visualization of Vessel Morphology: Non-layered Structure

    The primary endpoint was met when OCT imaging had the equivalent or lower mean score than IVUS imaging when comparing non-layered structures. Images were scored on a scale from 1 to 5. A lower score means better image quality and a higher score means worse image quality. Scoring scale for image quality of non-layered structure: 1-Excellent histology-like image quality to 5-unacceptably poor image quality

    Time frame: During the diagnostic imaging procedures, up to 5 minutes

  3. Visualization of Vessel Morphology: Calcification

    The primary endpoint was met when OCT imaging had the equivalent or lower mean score than IVUS imaging when comparing images for calcification. Images were scored on a scale from 1 to 5. A lower score means better image quality and a higher score means worse image quality. Scoring Scale for image quality for calcification: 1- Excellent histology-like image quality to 5- Unacceptably poor image quality.

    Time frame: During the diagnostic imaging procedures, up to 5 minutes

  4. Visualization of Vessel Morphology: Stent Structure

    The primary endpoint was met when OCT imaging had the equivalent or lower mean score than IVUS imaging when comparing stent structure. Images were scored on a scale from 1 to 3. A lower score means better image quality and a higher score means worse image quality. Scoring Scale for image quality of Stent Structure: 1. Excellent image; 2. Acceptable image: 3. Unacceptably poor image.

    Time frame: During the diagnostic imaging procedures, up to 5 minutes

  5. Visualization of Vessel Morphology: Artifacts

    The primary endpoint was met when OCT imaging had the equivalent or lower mean score than IVUS imaging when comparing imaging artifacts. Images were scored on a scale from 1 to 3. A lower score means better image quality and a higher score means worse image quality. Scoring Scale for image quality of artifacts: 1. None; 2. Tolerable/not limiting; 3. Is intense and limits image quality.

    Time frame: During the diagnostic imaging procedures, up to 5 minutes

  6. Freedom From Adverse Events

    Primary safety endpoint is freedom from diagnostic imaging procedure-related and device-associated adverse events.

    Time frame: On day of diagnostic imaging procedures, up to 1 hour

Secondary outcomes

  1. Vessel Measurement: Mean Diameter

    Mean diameter measurements include longest and shortest diameter at proximal, middle, and distal locations.

    Time frame: During the diagnostic imaging procedures, up to 5 minutes

  2. Vessel Measurement: Total Luminal Area

    Total luminal area is measured from the longest diameter at proximal, middle and distal locations.

    Time frame: During the diagnostic imaging procedures, up to 5 minutes
