Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a deep learning algorithm for measuring plaque burden (PB) using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and compare it to traditional intravascular ultrasound (IVUS).
  • The analysis involved 5-year follow-up images from 15 patients, focusing on how well the algorithm's PB measurements matched those from IVUS, with attention given to different levels of media visibility in OCT images.
  • Results showed strong agreement between the two methods (ICC = 0.81) and high diagnostic accuracy for detecting significant PB, suggesting the deep learning approach could be a valuable addition to standard OCT imaging techniques.

Purpose: To examine and compare different carotid stent designs with regard to flexibility, adaptability (adjustability), conformability (compliance) to the vessel, and scaffolding to reduce plaque prolapse and embolization.

Methods: Six stents of different design were compared (Precise, Acculink, Protégé, Xact, Wallstent, and Cristallo Ideale). Optical microscopy was used to determine exact dimensions and scaffolding of each stent.
