Coronary Artery Plaque Characterization by NIR Spectroscopy in Patients Undergoing Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) Imaging and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) for Angina Pectoris and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 106 participants across 6 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy system that has been designed to identify the chemical composition of coronary artery plaques in patients undergoing a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Near infrared spectroscopic imaging of the coronary artery with an intravascular spectroscopy catheter.
Ultrasound coronary catheter is positioned on a guidewire that has been placed in the coronary artery.Ultrasound imaging provides structural information about the vessel wall and blockages contained. It takes approximately 5 minutes to prepare, position, and to collect data with the catheter.
