Abstract:
:To investigate the use of high energy ultrasound as an alternative energy for angioplasty, an experimental ultrasonic angioplasty device was developed. The device was studied in two bioassay systems: an in vitro system for the disruption of atherosclerotic plaques and thrombi and an in vivo system for the recanalization of occluded canine femoral arteries. In vitro, sonication efficiently reduced the size of the plaques. Atheromatous plaques (n = 11) disrupted at a rate of 21 +/- 8 s/cm2; complicated plaques (n = 14) disrupted at a rate of 132 +/- 45 s/cm2 (p less than 0.001). Histologic examination revealed that the disruption of the plaques took place without concurrent damage to the media or adventitia. Ninety percent of the disrupted plaque debris had a diameter of less than 20 microns and was composed primarily of cholesterol monohydrate crystals. Solid thrombus (n = 5) weight was reduced from 1.6 +/- 0.2 to 0.4 +/- 0.1 g (p less than 0.0001) after 20 s of sonication. In vivo, sonication resulted in recanalization in all seven arteries tested in seven dogs. The obstruction was reduced from 93 +/- 11% to 18 +/- 7% (p less than 0.001). On histologic examination, the arterial wall injury index was found to be 1.56 +/- 0.42 in the test arteries compared with 1.37 +/- 0.47 in the control arteries (p = NS). The disruption of atherosclerotic plaques and thrombi, together with the efficient recanalization of the occluded arteries, demonstrates the potential of ultrasound angioplasty as a catheter-based technique for angioplasty.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
