A Parametric Study of Flushing Conditions for Improvement of Angioscopy Visibility
During an angioscopy operation, a transparent liquid called dextran is sprayed out from a catheter to flush the blood away from the space between the camera and target. Medical doctors usually inject dextran at a constant flow rate.

Case report: Usefulness of angioscopy in determining antiplatelet drug reduction after carotid artery stenting [PDF]
We report a case in which neointima was confirmed by angioscopy and antiplatelet drug administration was reduced 2 months after carotid artery stenting (CAS).

Association Between Aortic Wall Parameters on Multidetector Computed Tomography and Ruptured Plaques By Nonobstructive General Angioscopy [PDF]
Background Nonobstructive general angioscopy (NOGA) can identify vulnerable plaques in the aortic lumen that serve as potential risk factors for cardiovascular events such as embolism.

Angioscopy-assisted thoracic endovascular aortic repair for chronic type B aortic dissection: Optimizing stent graft coverage and left subclavian artery coil embolization [PDF]
We report the case of a 69-year-old man with chronic type B aortic dissection and progressive aneurysmal dilatation. Zone 2 thoracic endovascular aortic repair was performed with carotid-subclavian bypass.

Efficacy of Angioscopy for the Detection of Mobile Carotid Artery Lesions [PDF]
Case presentation A 78‐year‐old man with a mobile lesion was diagnosed with thrombus using carotid ultrasonography, but the lesion was not completely resolved with dual antiplatelet and anticoagulation therapy. Direct visualization by angioscopy showed a

Catheter pose-dependent virtual angioscopy images visualized on augmented reality glasses
Fluoroscopy and digital subtraction angiography provide guidance in endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) but introduce radiation exposure and require the administration of contrast agent. To overcome these disadvantages, previous studies proposed to display

Background: Despite significant interest in intracoronary thrombi in patients with vasospastic angina (VSA), the phenomenon remains unclarified. Therefore, we investigated a possible relationship using coronary angioscopy (CAS) in VSA patients.
