Catheter, Intravascular, Plaque Morphology Evaluation

Page Type
Product Code
Definition
Catheter used for delivery of a sensing modality to a coronary or peripheral artery region for determination of atherosclerotic plaque characteristics. For examination of morphologic features of coronary or peripheral artery lesions or plaques.
Physical State
Flexible intravascular catheter with plaque diagnostic modality at the tip.
Technical Method
The device is inserted into the arterial segment of interest, and using its sensing technology, obtains information on the characteristics of the arterial wall. The characteristics are captured digitally and filtered with a software algorithm, and the arterial wall and lesion characteristics are presented to the user via a user interface.
Target Area
Coronary or peripheral arteries.
