High-resolution 3D reconstructions of human vasculatures: creation of educational tools and benchtop models for transcatheter devices
In this study, anatomically accurate models were created from high-resolution images of real patient vasculatures. Using fourteen human cadavers donated for research, we collected high-resolution images to generate 3D computational renderings of various patient anatomies. These models make up the “Transcatheter Pathways Vasculature Database” that can be used for physician education and training, as well as improving transcatheter delivery system design. We performed multiple studies that emphasize the anatomical differences that exist in patient vasculatures. Using 3D printing and virtua l reality, we developed educati...

Verification of the differences of scoring effect in current scoring balloons
AbstractThe characteristics of each scoring balloon seem to be different because material or configuration of scoring element in each device is unique. The aim of this study is to clarify the difference of scoring effect among 3 different scoring devices. We prepared 3 different scoring devices [Wolverine ™ Cutting Balloon™ (CB), ScoreFlex™ NC (SF), NSE Alpha™ (NSE),n = 5 respectively. Balloon diameter is 3 mm and 2 types of silicone tubes with different elasticity [140 kPa (tube S) and 576 kPa (tube H), respectively. Inner diameter is 3 mm]. We dilated each balloon in each silicone tube with nominal pr...

Distal radial artery approach for endovascular therapy
In this study we evaluated the safety and efficacy of the dTRA for endovascular therapy (EVT). The dTRA for EVT was performed in 43 lesions from 35 patients. Approach site was determined at the discretion of the operator. Clinical data were analyzed retrospectively. Average patient age was 74.0  ± 6.5 years; 30 (86%) were male; average height was 161.1 ± 8.4 cm. Diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and smoking habit were present in 19 (54.3%), 31 (88.6%), 29 (82.9%), and 29 (82.9%) patients, respectively. Target lesions were iliac artery in 38 (88.4%) patients, superf icial femoral artery in 4 (9.3%) ...

Integrated backscatter-intravascular ultrasound and modification of plaque during excimer laser coronary angioplasty
This study aims to test the hypothesis that the effect of excimer laser coronary angioplasty (ELCA) not only vaporizes thrombi and their underlying coronary plaque, it also changes their quality. We performed a series of cross-sectional analyses in 52 lesions in 51 patients before and after ELCA with integrated backscatter-intravascular ultrasound (IB-IVUS). The constituent parts of the plaque can be assessed by IB-IVUS (i.e., calcified, fibrous, lipid) according to integrated backscatter values. Minimum lumen diameter, lumen volume and vessel volume expanded after ELCA, while plaque volume did not significantly decrease. ...
