- Fiber optic signals are insensitive to EM interference
- Physical / Mechanical Impact
- Small

2 mm OD Catheter 100 micron OD Fiber
Pick up on “non-visual” surgical cues
- Atrial Fibrillation
- Contraction of heart chambers becomes unsynchronized
- Especially left atrium
- Serious condition
17
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart
Treatment – Pre-Catheter
- Surgical Maze Procedure
- Series of incisions to block impulse conduction pathways
- Full sternotomy
18
http://www.stopafib.org/surgical-ablation.cfm
Treatment – RF / Microwave Catheter
- Femoral access, inferior vena cava to RA
- Trans-septal puncture to LA
- Full wall thickness coagulation around pulmonary vein.
- Interrupt nerve conduction pathways
19
Clinical Procedure
- X-ray fluoroscopy
- Problems
- X-ray dose
- Surgeon and Patient
- Contrast agent
- Iodinated compound
- Nephrotoxin
- Limits procedure time
- Especially in renally compromised patients

Horst Sievert, MD Sankt Katharinen Krankenhaus Frankfurt
What would you like to know / see?
- CLINICAL RELEVANCE
- Anything that can improve the outcome for the patient
- Shorten procedure time
- Improve long-term efficacy
- Reduce X-ray or contrast burden
- …
- Is the catheter in contact with the heart wall?
- Am I applying too much force?
- What is the temperature of the coagulation zone?
- Have I made a full-thickness lesion?
22
Am I in contact with my target?
- Apposition
- Not just a question of pushing and feeling resistance
- Catheter length can contribute to sensed resistance
- No contact – no wall coagulation
23
Am I in contact with my target?
- Rotate catheter in the vessel
- Sub-mm resolution (wall approach and contact)
24
Poor Apposition (Blood in Field) Wall Reflection
Roger Gammon (Austin Heart) – New Horizons 2007
Well Apposed Up Down
Am I applying too much force?
- Tearing of trans-septal puncture area
- Danger of perforation
25
Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG)
- Periodic refractive index step functions in fiber core
21 microns 5 microns
Bragg Gratings
- Reflect or eject very specific wavelengths
- Performance is very sensitive to stress on FBG
- Stress imparted by bending, torsion or tension
- Submarine hulls, bridges, buildings, oil wells use FGBs
- Hansen Medical
- Distributed force sensing on catheter.
Am I applying too much force on the tip?
- Honeywell O-RIMS Technology
- Silicon microstructure on the end of a fiber
28
What is the temperature of the target?
- Clinical end point – Coagulation
- Under-treat
– potentially a sub-optimal outcome
- Over-treat
– charring

Optical Temperature Measurement
- Based on Refraction
- Happens when light goes from one medium to another
30
Archer Fish
- Nature solved refraction
- A long time ago!
Archer Fish
- Learned (not inherited trait)
Refraction
- Critical Angle
- Where light is no-longer refracted, but is reflected at
the interface.
Temperature Measurement
- Refractive index can be sensitive to temperature.
- Very!
- Strength of the beam at point C

Results
- Non-perturbative, real time interface T measurement
- Can be insensitive to the heating method
- RF interferes with thermocouples
- No fitting parameters
- Know refractive index behavior wrt T – know temperature
- Can be measured off-line
- Bandwidth determined by detector and probe laser power
- Select AOI and polarization to set sensitivity
- On-off at a critical temperature
- Feedback loop to heater power
- Usefulness?
- Confirm FEM model of heating

Comparison to Finite Element Model
- Use the measurement to refine the model

IVUS OCT Xray
Depth / Resolution trade-offs with optical methods
Resolution Depth of Penetration
1 cm 1 mm 100 µm 10 µm 1 µm 0.1 µm 10 µm 100 µm 1 mm 1 cm 10 cm Optical Diffuse Tomography Confocal Microscopy Micro- scopy Optical Coherence Tomography Photo- Acoustic Tomography Laser- Induced Fluorescence MRI CT Ultrasound
http://www.ece.arizona.edu/~bmeoptics/publications.html
Which one should I use?
- What are your resolution needs?
- Cellular level?
- Are you potentially limited by penetration depth?
- Progressively harder to implement as resolution ▲
- Need a good excuse to do OCT, confocal microscopy!
- Retinal imaging, cancer (cervical, lung), arterial disease
- OCT, confocal can be implemented fiber-optically
- Endoscope / catheter compatible
- DOT and microscopy mainly “free-space” techniques
41
- Optical analog of
ultrasound
- Minimal crossing profile
impact
- COTS telecom
components
- Image quality allows for
intuitive pattern recognition
- Optical bandwidths
- 10x better resolution
1 – 1.5 mm penetration
- Preferable for therapeutic
device incorporation
- Straightforward fiber optic
implementation
- Reduced training
requirements and time-of- procedure
- Microsecond time resolution

- Shows lower part of cuvette does not get irradiated
- Good agreement between OCT and FEM

PAD
- If you have PAD, you probably have CAD
- Coronary artery disease.
52
Prevalence: 8-12 million in US
Source: American Heart Association
Endovascular: >400K procedures
CAD > 2/3 of MI’s occur at non-critical stenoses
Circulation (1988) 78, 1157
78 d prior to MI: 47% stenosis 13 d after to MI: 100% stenosis
%Stenosis does not predict time to MI
Circulation (1988) 78, 1157
- Cannot use angiography as a truly predictive technique
Clinical need for functional and structural information
- Vulnerable plaque hypothesis
- Lipid rich necrotic cores
- Thin fibrous caps
- TCFAs – Thin Cap Fibro-Atheroma
- Lipid core is highly thrombogenic
- Rupture triggers a thrombus to form – acute MI
- Balloon and stents can trigger a rupture if they land incorrectly
- First look for lipids?
- InfraRedX – Molecular Spectroscopy
- OCT companies – lipid-rich OCT signatures?
