Dynamic coronary roadmapping during percutaneous coronary intervention: a feasibility study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A novel software ("Dynamic Coronary Roadmap") was developed, which offers a real-time, dynamic overlay of the coronary tree on fluoroscopy. Once the roadmap has been automatically generated during angiography it can be used for navigation during percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). As a feasibility study, we aimed to investigate the feasibility of real-time dynamic coronary roadmapping and consecutive coronary overlay during elective PCI.

Methods and results

We studied 936 overlay runs, created following the same amount of angiographies, which were generated during 36 PCIs. Feasibility of dynamic coronary roadmapping was analyzed using a dedicated software tool. Roadmap quality (correct dynamic imaging of the vessels without relevant artefacts or missing par
