Patient specific model generation: MSCT + IVUS

Author: Jolanda Wentzel, MD, ErasmusMC Rotterdam, The Netherlands

 

CONCLUSION

  • Fusion of IVUS and CT is suitable to 3D reconstruction coronary bifurcations
  • 3 approaches were discussed, from which IVUS in both side branches is preferred since wall information is present for both branches.
  • Alternative approach (2 & 3) can be used for the lumen but gives no information on the wall in the side branch
  • A new CT-medina classification provides information on the plaque burden additional to the lumen and could serve as help for decision making for treatment.
