Imaging Whole Coronary Artery With Intravascular Ultrasound (Ivus) And Imap For Plaque Tissue Composition In Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction (iWONDER)

June 29, 2016 updated by: Cristiano Freitas de Souza, Federal University of São Paulo

Registry Using IVUS and iMAP to Evaluate Atherosclerotic Coronary Plaque in Acute Coronary Syndromes

The iWONDER trial has the following objective:

To analyze the morphological, phenotypic and tissue characteristics of atherosclerotic plaques angiographically considered "culprit" and "not-culprit" in patients undergoing coronary angiography due to STEMI (ST-elevation myocardial infarction).

Detailed Description

Coronary artery angiography (CA) is a two-dimensional silhouette of the arterial lumen from a complex three dimensional vascular structure. This exam has several limitations already well documented, including shortening of the vessel, overlapping images, intra and inter-observer variability during the consideration of the severity of injuries. Besides, it offers great limitations in the diagnosis of the composition of atherosclerotic plaque. Furthermore, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) provides a sensitive and reproducible measure of the dimensions of the vessel and allows direct visualization of the vessel wall, atherosclerotic plaque and arterial lumen. The utility of grayscale IVUS as prognostic tool and as a guide in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) is well established. More recently, IVUS has also provided new insights for safety and efficacy of drug eluting stent (DES).

Advances in technology now allow IVUS to characterize the morphology and composition of plaques. Specifically, the analysis of the IVUS wave frequency - beyond the interpretation of wave lengths used in grayscale IVUS- enables in vivo analysis of atherosclerotic plaque composition with high sensitivity and specificity. Although previous studies have reported data using IVUS radiofrequency analysis, the use of a new modality (iMapTM, Boston Scientific, Santa Clara, CA, USA) for characterization of atherosclerotic plaque is poorly known.
