ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Current endovascular procedures rely mostly on anatomic information, guided by fluoroscopy, to perform interventions (i.e. angioplasty, stent placement, coils). However, the structural parameters provided by these imaging technologies do not provide any physiological data on either the disease state or efficacy of intervention. Additional endovascular tools are needed to collect physiologic and other both anatomic and nonanatomic data to further individualize endovascular interventions with the ultimate goal of improving patient outcomes. This review details the current state of the art for these sensorized endovascular technologies and details systems under development with the aim of identifying gaps and new directions. The objective of this review was to survey the Vascular Surgery literature, engineering literature, and commercially available products to determine what exists in terms of sensor-enabled endovascular devices and where gaps and opportunities exist for further sensor integration.METHODS:
Search terms were entered into search engines such as Google and Google Scholar to identify endovascular devices containing sensors. A variety of terms were used including directly search for items such as "sensor-enabled endovascular devices" and then also completing more refined searches bases on areas of interest (i.e. fractional flow reserve, navigation, retrograde endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta, etc.). For the most part, systems were included where the sensor was mounted directly onto the catheter and implantable sensors such as those that have been investigated for use with stents have been excluded.RESULTS:
The authors were able to identify a body of literature in the area of endovascular devices that contain sensors to measure physiologic information. However, areas where additional sensing capabilities may be useful were identified.CONCLUSIONS:
Several different types of sensors and sensing systems were identified that have been integrated with endovascular catheters. Although a great deal of work has been done in this field, there are additional useful data that could be obtained from additional novel sensing technologies. Furthermore, significant effort needs to be allocated to carefully studying how these new technologies can be employed to actually improve patient outcomes.
