Directions INTRODUCTION Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is widely used as a major diagnostic and assessment technique that provides detailed crosssectional imaging of blood vessels in the cardiac catheterization laboratory The first ultrasound imaging catheter system was developed by Bom and his colleagues in Rotterdam, the Netherland, in 1971.1 By the late 1980s, the first images of human vessels were recorded by Yock and his colleagues.2 Since then, IVUS has become a pivotal catheter-based imaging technology that can provide scientific insights into vascular biology and practical guidance for percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) in clinical settings In this chapter, IVUS and the other catheter-based imaging devices—optical coherence tomography (OCT), angioscopy and spectroscopy—are described These newly developed imaging technologies provide supplemental and unique insights into vascular biology as well INTRAVASCULAR ULTRASOUND Basics of IVUS and Procedures The IVUS imaging systems use reflected sound waves to visualize the vessel wall in a two-dimensional format analogous to a histologic cross-section In general, higher frequencies of ultrasound limit the scanning depth but improve the axial resolution, and current IVUS catheters used in the coronary arteries have center frequencies ranging 20–45 MHz 434 Manual of Cardiac Diagnosis There are two different types of IVUS transducer systems: (i) the solid-state dynamic aperture system (the electronically switched multi-element array system) and (ii) the mechanically rotating single-transducer system (Table and Figs 1A and B) Several types of artifacts can be observed common or unique to each system (Figs 2A to D) With both systems, still frames and video images can be digitally archived on local storage memory or a remote server using digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) Standard 3.0 Regardless of IVUS system used in the patient, both require preprocedural administration of intravenous heparin (5,000–10,000 U), or equivalent anticoagulation along with intracoronary nitroglycerin (100–300 µg), to reduce the potential for coronary spasm Normal Vessel Morphology The interpretation of IVUS images is possible as the layers of a diseased arterial wall can be identified separately Particularly in muscular arteries, such as the coronary tree, the media of the vessel is characterized by a dark band compared with the intima and adventitia (Figs 3A and B) Differentiation of the layers of elastic arteries, such as the aorta and carotid, can be problematic because media are less distinctly seen by IVUS However, most of the vessels currently treated by catheter techniques are muscular or transitional arteries These include the coronary, iliofemoral, renal and popliteal systems Therefore, it is usually easy to identify the medial layer FIGURES 1A AND B: Diagrams of two basic imaging catheter designs: (A) solid state and (B) mechanical

Comparison of two IVUS designs Basics Products Features Image quality Artifacts Solid-state dynamic aperture system An electronic solid state catheter system with multiple imaging elements at its distal tip, providing cross-sectional imaging by sequentially activating the imaging elements in a circular way One system is commercially available (Volcano Corporation, Inc., Rancho Cordova, CA) Mechanically rotating single-transducer system A mechanical system that contains a flexible imaging cable which rotates a single transducer at its tip inside an echolucent distal sheath Several systems are commercially available (Boston Scientific Corporation, Natick, MA; Volcano Corporation, Inc., Rancho Cordova, CA; Terumo Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) The imaging catheter has The imaging catheter 64 transducer elements uses a 40- or 45 MHz arranged around the transducer with a distal catheter tip and uses a crossing profile of 3.2 center frequency of 20 Fr (compatible with Fr MHz guide catheters) The outer shaft diameter of IVUS catheters in a rapid-exchange configuration is 2.9 Fr and thus compatible with a Fr guide catheter This imaging catheter has Higher frequencies better scanning depth but improve the axial poorer axial resolution resolution Therefore, compared with the mechanical transducers mechanical systems have traditionally offered advantages in image quality compared with the solid-state systems The guidewire runs inside The guidewire runs the IVUS catheter thereby outside the IVUS catheter, preventing guidewire parallel to the imaging artifact segment, resulting in guidewire artifact This system does not This system requires require flushing with flushing with saline before saline insertion to eliminate any air in the path of the beam Incomplete flushing artifact may result in poor image quality Contd 435 436 Manual of Cardiac Diagnosis Contd Solid-state dynamic aperture system Mechanically rotating single-transducer system This system eliminates nonuniform rotational distortion (NURD) Others The NURD can occur when bending of the drive cable interferes with uniform transducer rotation, causing a wedgeshaped, smeared image to appear in one or more segments of the image Since the solid-state The imaging catheters transducer has a zone have excellent near-field of “ring-down artifact” resolution and not encircling the catheter, an require the subtraction of extra step is required to form a mask a mask of the artifact and subtract this from the image Short transducer-toThe pullback trajectory is tip distance (10.5 mm) stabilized and it reduces facilitates visualization of the risk of a nonuniform distal coronary anatomy speed in a continuous pullback The relative echolucency of media compared with intima and adventitia gives rise to a three-layered appearance (bright-dark-bright), first described in vitro by Meyer and his colleagues.3 Due to the lack of collagen and elastin compared to neighboring layers, the media displays lower ultrasound reflection “Blooming”, a spillover effect, is seen in the IVUS image because the intimal layer reflects ultrasound more strongly than the media This results in a slight overestimation of the thickness of the intima and a corresponding underestimation of the medial thickness On the other hand, the media/adventitia border is accurately rendered, because a step-up in echo reflectivity occurs at this boundary and no blooming appears The adventitial and periadventitial tissues are similar enough in echoreflectivity that a clear outer adventitial border cannot be defined Several deviations from the classic three-layered appearance are encountered in clinical practice The echoreflectivity of the intima and internal lamina may not be sufficient to resolve a clear inner layer in truly normal coronary arteries from young patients This is particularly true when the media has a relatively high content of elastin However, most adults seen in the cardiac catheterization laboratory have enough intimal thickening to show a three-layered appearance, even in angiographically normal segments At the other extreme, patients with a significant plaque burden have thinning of the media underlying the plaque As a result, the media is often indistinct or undetectable in at least some part of the IVUS Intravascular Coronary Ultrasound and Beyond FIGURES 2A TO D: Common IVUS image artifacts: (A) A “halo” or a series of bright rings immediately around the mechanical IVUS catheter is usually caused by air bubbles that need to be flushed out (B) Radiofrequency noise appears as alternating radial spokes or random white dots in the far-field The interference is usually caused by other electrical equipment in the cardiac catheterization laboratory (C) Nonuniform rotational distortion (NURD) results in a wedge-shaped, smeared appearance in one or more segments of the image (between 12 O’clock and O’clock in this example) This may be corrected by straightening the catheter and motor drive assembly, lessening tension on the guide catheter, or loosening the hemostatic valve of the Y-adapter (D) Circumferential calcification causes reverberation artifact between 10 O’clock and O’clock cross-section This problem is exacerbated by the blooming phenomenon Even in these cases, however, the inner adventitial boundary (at the level of the external elastic lamina) is always clearly defined For this reason, most IVUS studies measure and report the plaque-plus-media area as a surrogate measure for plaque area alone The addition of the media represents only a tiny percentage increase in the total area of the plaque The determination of the position of the imaging plane within the artery is one important aspect of image interpretation For example, an IVUS beam penetrates beyond the coronary artery, providing images of perivascular structures, including the cardiac veins, myocardium and pericardium (Figs 4A to C) These structures provide useful landmarks regarding the position of the imaging plane because they have a characteristic appearance when viewed from various positions within the arterial tree The branching patterns of the arteries are also 437 438 Manual of Cardiac Diagnosis FIGURES 3A AND B: Cross-sectional format of a representative IVUS image The bright-dark-bright, three-layered appearance is seen in the image with corresponding anatomy as defined The “IVUS” represents the imaging catheter in the vessel lumen Histologic correlation with intima, media and adventitia are shown The media has lower ultrasound reflectance owing to less collagen and elastin compared with neighboring layers Since the intimal layer reflects ultrasound more strongly than the media, there is a spillover in the image, resulting in slight overestimation of the thickness of the intima and a corresponding underestimation of the medial thickness distinctive and help to identify the position of the transducer In the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery system, for example, the septal perforators usually branch at a wider angle than the diagonals On the IVUS scan, the septals appear to bud away from the LAD much more abruptly than the diagonals (Figs 5A to D) The branching pattern and perivascular landmarks, once understood, can provide a reference to the actual orientation of the image in space IVUS Measurements The IVUS images have an intrinsic distance calibration, which is usually displayed as a grid in the image Electronic caliper (diameter) and tracing (area) measurements can be performed at the tightest cross section, as well as at reference segments located proximal and distal to the lesion In everyday clinical practice, where accurate sizing of devices is needed, vessel and lumen diameter measurements are important The maximum and minimum diameters (i.e the major and minor axes of an elliptical cross-section) are the most widely used dimensions The ratio of maximum to minimum diameter defines a measure of symmetry Area measurements are performed with computer planimetry; lumen area is determined FIGURES 4A TO C: Perivascular landmarks: (A) The great cardiac vein (GCV), running superiorly to the left circumflex coronary artery (LCx), appears as a large, low-echoic structure with fine blood speckle Recurrent atrial branches emerge from the LCx in an orientation directed toward the GCV, whereas the obtuse marginal branches emerge opposite the GCV and course inferiorly to cover the lateral myocardial wall (B) In the proximal portion of the left main coronary artery, a clear echo-free space filled with pericardial fluid, called the transverse sinus, is found adjacent to the artery, immediately outside of the left lateral aspect of the aortic root (C) At the level of the middle right coronary artery, the veins arc over the artery, typically at a position just adjacent to the right ventricular marginal branches Intravascular Coronary Ultrasound and Beyond 439 440 Manual of Cardiac Diagnosis FIGURES 5A TO D: Pullback imaging sequence from mid to proximal portion of the left anterior descending (LAD) artery: (A) The mid and distal portions of the LAD often lie deeper in the sulcus than the proximal LAD and myocardium may be observed The pericardium is seen at the opposite site of myocardium (B and C) The septal branches emerge opposite to the pericardium, but the diagonal branches take off more superiorly The angle between the septal and the diagonal branches usually increases to as much as 180 degrees (D) The left circumflex artery emerges on the same side as the emergence of the diagonal branches by tracing the leading edge of the blood/intima border, whereas vessel or external elastic membrane (EEM) area is defined as the area enclosed by the outermost interface between media and adventitia Plaque area or plaque-plus-media area is calculated as the difference between the vessel and lumen areas; the ratio of plaque to vessel area is termed percent plaque area, plaque Intravascular Coronary Ultrasound and Beyond burden or percent cross-sectional narrowing Area measurements can be added to calculate volumes using Simpson’s rule with the use of motorized pullback In general, the investigator selects the most normal-looking cross-section (i.e largest lumen with smallest plaque burden) occurring within 10 mm of the lesion with no intervening major side branches as the reference segment.4 Tissue Characterization The IVUS can provide detailed information about plaque composition Regions of calcification are very brightly echoreflective and create a dense shadow more peripherally from the catheter, a phenomenon known as “acoustic shadowing” (Figs 6A to C) Shadowing prevents determination of the true thickness of a calcific deposit and precludes visualization of structures in the tissue beyond the calcium Reverberation is another characteristic finding with calcification It causes the appearance of multiple ghost images of the leading calcium interface, spaced at regular intervals radially (Fig 2D) Like calcium, densely fibrotic tissue appears bright on the ultrasound scan Fatty plaque is less echogenic than fibrous plaque The brightness of the adventitia can be used as a gauge to discriminate between predominantly fatty from fibrous plaque Therefore, an area of plaque that appears darker than the adventitia is fatty In an image of extremely good quality, the presence of a lipid pool can be inferred from the appearance of a dark region within the plaque (Figs 7A and B) Furthermore, the “hot” lesions like ruptured plaques responsible for unstable angina or acute coronary syndromes can be observed by IVUS (Figs 8A and B) Recently, the clinical impact of attenuated plaques characteri zed as hypoechoic plaque with ultrasound attenuation despite little evidence of calcium has been reported (Figs 9A to C) These specific plaques are more often seen in patients with acute coronary syndromes than in those with stable angina and are characterized by positive remodeling and nearby calcifica tion.5 Clinical studies have indicated that attenuated plaques are associated with no reflow and creatine kinase-MB elevation after PCI because of distal embolization.6,7 This novel defined plaque may contain microcalcification, thrombus or cholesterol crystals.8 Visual interpretation of conventional grayscale IVUS images is limited in the detection and quantification of specific plaque components Therefore, computer-assisted analysis of raw radiofrequency (RF) signals in the reflected ultrasound beam has recently been developed (Figs 10A to C) Virtual Histology™ (VH) IVUS (Volcano Corporation, Rancho 441 FIGURES 6A TO C: Examples of coronary calcification: (A) Superficial calcification is seen between O’clock and 10 O’clock The deeper vessel structure is obscured by the shadowing of the calcium layer (acoustic shadowing: asterisk) (B) Deep deposit of calcium is seen in a rim of fibrous plaque (C) There are superficial and deep calcium deposits with acoustic shadowing 442 Manual of Cardiac Diagnosis Index.indd 886 886 Manual of Cardiac Diagnosis physiology 498
