Methods And Compositions For Identifying Subjects At Risk Of Developing Stent Thrombosis
US Patent:
2010026, Oct 21, 2010
Filed:
Nov 24, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/625264
Inventors:
Farouc Jaffer - Jamaica Plain MA, US
Milind Rajopadhye - Westford MA, US
Milind Rajopadhye - Westford MA, US
International Classification:
A61B 5/05, A61F 2/82
US Classification:
600425, 623 146
Abstract:
The invention provides methods and compositions for determining whether a subject containing a stent immobilized in a blood vessel has asymptomatic stent thrombosis or is at risk of developing clinically symptomatic stent thrombosis. In one approach, the method involves imaging a region of the blood vessel that contains the stent using a probe that contains a fluorochrome, for example, a near-infrared fluorochrome, and a targeting moiety that binds a molecular marker indicative of the presence of asymptomatic stent thrombosis or the development of symptomatic stent thrombosis. To the extent that the subject displays one or more such markers, the probe binds to the markers and increases the local concentration of the probe in the vicinity of the stent. The imaging method identifies those patients that display a higher density of such markers in the vicinity of the stent. As a result, those patients can be monitored for, and/or treated to prevent, symptomatic stent thrombosis.

Assignee:
The General Hospital Corporation - Boston MA
International Classification:
A61B 1/07
US Classification:
600182
Abstract:
Apparatus and method can be provided for obtaining information regarding at least one portion of a biological structure. For example, using a first arrangement, it is possible to generate a first electro-magnetic radiation to be forwarded to the portion and receive, from the portion, a second fluorescent radiation associated with the first electro-magnetic radiation Further, using a second arrangement, it is possible to obtain information associated with the second fluorescent radiation, and generate at least one image of the portion as a function of the second fluorescent radiation. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the first arrangement can be inserted into at least one lumen, and the image of the portion may be associated with the at least one lumen.

International Classification:
A61B 6/00
US Classification:
600427, 600425
Abstract:
Exemplary systems, devices, methods, apparatus and computer-accessible media for providing and/or utilizing optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI) and fluorescence of structures and, e.g., multimodality imaging using OFDI techniques and fluorescence imaging techniques are described. For example, an arrangement can provide at least one electro-magnetic radiation to an anatomical structure. Such exemplary arrangement can include at least one optical core and at least one cladding at least partially surrounding the fiber(s). A region between the optical core(s) and the cladding(s) can have an index that is different from indexes of the optical core(s) and the cladding(s). The arrangement can also include at least one apparatus which is configured to transmit the radiation(s) via the optical core(s) and the cladding(s) to the anatomical structure.

International Classification:
A61B 5/02
US Classification:
600310
Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments of apparatus, system and method can be provided to measure a flow of fluid within an anatomical structure. For example, it is possible to use at least one first probe arrangement structured to be insertable into a vessel and configured to direct at least one radiation to at least one portion of the anatomical structure. Further, it is possible to provide at least one second arrangement which configured to detect an interference between a first radiation provided from the fluid via the probe arrangement and second a second radiation provided from a reference path as a function of wavelength thereof. Further, at least one third arrangement can be provided which is configured to determine at least one characteristic of the fluid as a function of the interference.
Detection Of Atherosclerosis Using Indocyanine Green
US Patent:
2010009, Apr 15, 2010
Filed:
Oct 10, 2008

A61K 49/00, A61B 6/00
US Classification:
424 92, 424 91, 424 96, 600431
Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments of apparatus and method can be provided for imaging a portion of an anatomical structure. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, an indocyanine green (ICG) agent can be provided to at least one portion of an anatomical structure, and it can be determined whether at least one plaque structure associated with the at least one portion includes at least one of an angiogenesis or an inflammation based on the interaction between the ICG agent and the at least one portion.
