3D Coronary Vessel Reconstruction from Bi-Plane Angiography using Graph Convolutional Networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 X-ray coronary angiography (XCA) is used to assess coronary artery disease and provides valuable information on lesion morphology and severity. However, XCA images are 2D and therefore limit visualisation of the vessel. 3D reconstruction of coronary vessels is possible using multiple views, however lumen border detection in current software is ...

Use of the instantaneous wave-free ratio or fractional flow reserve in PCI [PDF]
, 2017 BACKGROUND: Coronary revascularization guided by fractional flow reserve (FFR) is associated with better patient outcomes after the procedure than revascularization guided by angiography alone.

Vascular Development and Regeneration in the Mammalian Heart
Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2016 Cardiovascular diseases including coronary artery disease are the leading cause of death worldwide. Unraveling the developmental origin of coronary vessels could offer important therapeutic implications for treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

Robust PCA Unrolling Network for Super-resolution Vessel Extraction in X-ray Coronary Angiography [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Although robust PCA has been increasingly adopted to extract vessels from X-ray coronary angiography (XCA) images, challenging problems such as inefficient vessel-sparsity modelling, noisy and dynamic background artefacts, and high computational cost still remain unsolved.

Human coronary vessels: distribution of cholinergic nerve fibres and age-related changes [PDF]
Background. Cholinergic nerve fibres were studied in the human coronary vascular tree by means of acetylcholinesterase staining and choline acetyltransferase activities on autopsy samples of coronary vessels (arteries, veins, and micro-vessels ...

Extraction of Coronary Vessels in Fluoroscopic X-Ray Sequences Using Vessel Correspondence Optimization [PDF]
, 2022 We present a method to extract coronary vessels from fluoroscopic x-ray sequences. Given the vessel structure for the source frame, vessel correspondence candidates in the subsequent frame are generated by a novel hierarchical search scheme to overcome the aperture problem.
