  • Publication number: 20230190228
    Abstract: A system includes a processor circuit in communication with an extraluminal imaging device and an intraluminal imaging device. The processor circuit obtains an enhanced stent deployment extraluminal image and a plurality of intraluminal images. The enhanced stent deployment extraluminal image and the each of the plurality of intraluminal images are associated with locations along a pathway. The pathway is overlaid over an extraluminal image. Based on the locations of the pathway, the processor circuit coregisters the plurality of intraluminal images to the enhanced stent deployment extraluminal image and outputs a screen display of one of the plurality of intraluminal images and the enhanced stent deployment extraluminal image with an indicator identifying the location at which the displayed intraluminal image was obtained.

  • Publication number: 20230190229
    Abstract: A system includes a processor circuit in communication with an intraluminal imaging device and a laser atherectomy device. An intraluminal imaging procedure is performed within a lumen with the intraluminal imaging device. The processor circuit receives the intraluminal images acquired. The intraluminal images are analyzed to determine a tissue classification for each intraluminal image. One or more laser atherectomy settings are determined for each intraluminal image based on the tissue classification. The intraluminal images and corresponding tissue classifications and laser atherectomy settings are then associated with the location at which each intraluminal image was acquired along the lumen. A laser atherectomy procedure is then performed within the same lumen. As the laser atherectomy device is moved to positions within the vessel, the laser atherectomy setting associated with each position is retrieved from the memory and automatically applied to the laser atherectomy device.

  • Publication number: 20230190215
    Abstract: A system includes a processor circuit that receives an extraluminal image obtained without contrast. The processor circuit receives multiple additional extraluminal images obtained without contrast as an intraluminal device is moved through a body lumen of a patient. The locations of the intraluminal device are tracked and used to form a curve. The curve is overlaid over one of the extraluminal images obtained without contrast. The curve and extraluminal image are displayed to a user and modified or confirmed. The intraluminal data points acquired by the intraluminal device are then co-registered to the extraluminal image. The extraluminal image and intraluminal data are displayed to the user.

  • Publication number: 20230190225
    Abstract: A system includes a processor circuit that receives intraluminal images of a body lumen. The processor circuit identifies a stent edge within the intraluminal images and calculates a distance between the stent edge and the vessel wall. The processor circuit additionally compares the distance between the stent edge and the vessel for the intraluminal images to a threshold distance and identifies which intraluminal images correspond to a distance exceeding the threshold. The processor circuit further outputs to a display a longitudinal view of the body lumen identifying locations along the stent at which the distance between the stent and the vessel wall exceeds the threshold distance.

  • Publication number: 20230196569
    Abstract: A system includes a processor circuit in communication with an intraluminal imaging device. The processor circuit is configured to receive an intraluminal image obtained by the intraluminal imaging device while the intraluminal imaging device is positioned within a body lumen of a patient. The processor circuit also receive a user input selecting one location within the intraluminal image and another user input selecting another location within the intraluminal image. These two locations within the intraluminal image define boundaries of a sector of the intraluminal image associated with a tissue type. The processor circuit determines an angle of the sector defined by the two locations. The intraluminal image and a visual representation of the angle are displayed on a screen display.
