Bedside interface for percutaneous coronary intervention planning

Abstract

A system configured to assess the severity of a blockage in a vessel and, in particular, a stenosis in a blood vessel is disclosed. It is further disclosed to provide measurements of a vessel that allow assessment of the vessel and, in particular, any stenosis or lesion of the vessel and simulate diagnostic visualizations using a first visualization device and a second visualization device. Displaying, on a first visualization device, an image of the vessel with treatment diagnostic visualizations based on obtained pressure measurements and displaying, on a second visualization device, a portion of the image of the vessel with diagnostic visualizations based on the obtained pressure measurements is disclosed, wherein the portion of the image of the vessel displayed on the second visualization device is a close up of a region of interest of the vessel.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure is primarily concerned with assessing vessels using a point-of-care interface. For example, some embodiments of the present disclosure are applicable to the analysis of medical sensing data collected from vessels using a touch-sensitive display for a point-of-care interface used in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) planning. The severity of blockage or other restriction of fluid flow through the vessel, such as narrowing of a blood vessel in humans, is assessed. Background technique [0002] Innovations in diagnosing and verifying the success level of disease treatment have evolved from a purely external imaging process to include an internal diagnostic process. Small sensors can now be placed directly inside the body, in addition to traditional external imaging techniques such as X-rays, MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), CT (computed tomography) scans, fluoroscopy and angiography. For example, diagnostic devices have be...

Problems solved by technology

Third, many patients find the administration of hyperemic reagents uncomfortable, only exacerbated by the fact that multiple applications of hyperemic reagents may be required during the procedure used to obtain FFR measurements

Finally, not all patients respond to decongestant agents as expected, and in some cases it can be difficult to identify these patients prior to administration of the decongestant agent
