Detection of Vulnerable
Atherosclerotic Plaques
By Near Infrared Spectroscopy
• Biological tissues have unique absorbance in the NIR wavelength range
• NIR light has enough penetration that may obtain spectra through blood
Tissue Evaluation by Near-IR
Spectroscopy
Absorbance peaks are caused by:
Combinations of fundamental bonds (C-H, C=C, C=O)
Electron transitions in the heaviest atoms
Advantages of Near-IR Spectroscopy
For Vulnerable Plaque Research
• Analysis under 1 second
• Simultaneous, multi-component, non- destructive analysis
• Chemical, biological and molecular information
• Automated predictions using computer algorithms
• Detection limits can be very low (from picograms to planets)
• Cost per analysis is minimal (no reagents used)

Percutaneous Coronary Near-IR Spectroscopy
In vivo: A Safety Study
Moreno PR and Fallon JT. University of Kentucky and Mount Sinai School of Medicine, August, 2001
Six Normal Swines
• Percutaneous, over-the wire NIR coronary catheterization
performed in 2/3 coronary arteries
Results:
• Successful coronary catheterization in all cases
• Excellent angiographic and histologic results with not a
single case of dissection, thrombosis or perforation.

Near-IR Spectroscopy & Vulnerable Plaques
Conclusions
• NIR spectroscopy can identify features of plaque
vulnerability in vitro and lipid-rich plaques in vivo,
through blood.
• A catheter-based system has been tested in-vivo
with excellent performance in both swine and human
coronary arteries.
• Additional clinical data are needed to definitively
apply this technique to risk stratify human
atherosclerotic lesions in the cath lab.

Deteection of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque by nis

  • 1. Pedro R. Moreno, MD, FACC University of Kentucky Lexington, Kentucky Detection of Vulnerable Atherosclerotic Plaques By Near Infrared Spectroscopy
  • 2. • Biological tissues have unique absorbance in the NIR wavelength range • NIR light has enough penetration that may obtain spectra through blood
  • 3. Tissue Evaluation by Near-IR Spectroscopy Absorbance peaks are caused by: Combinations of fundamental bonds (C-H, C=C, C=O) Electron transitions in the heaviest atoms
  • 4. Advantages of Near-IR Spectroscopy For Vulnerable Plaque Research • Analysis under 1 second • Simultaneous, multi-component, non- destructive analysis • Chemical, biological and molecular information • Automated predictions using computer algorithms • Detection limits can be very low (from picograms to planets) • Cost per analysis is minimal (no reagents used) Dempsey RJ & Lodder RA.

University of Kentucky and Mount Sinai School of Medicine, August, 2001 Six Normal Swines • Percutaneous, over-the wire NIR coronary catheterization performed in 2/3 coronary arteries Results: • Successful coronary catheterization in all cases • Excellent angiographic and histologic results with not a single case of dissection, thrombosis or perforation. 3 French NIR catheter

  • 21. Near-IR Spectroscopy & Vulnerable Plaques Conclusions • NIR spectroscopy can identify features of plaque vulnerability in vitro and lipid-rich plaques in vivo, through blood. • A catheter-based system has been tested in-vivo with excellent performance in both swine and human coronary arteries. • Additional clinical data are needed to definitively apply this technique to risk stratify human atherosclerotic lesions in the cath lab.
