Abstract
Nonocclusion type of angioscopy was developed in Japan. The design of the device is relatively simple, consisting of a probe catheter and fiber catheter. Low molecular weight dextran is injected through the outer probe, removing red blood cells from the vessel wall in order to create a clear field of view for observing the lesion. This paper will describe the procedural requirements to undertake nonocclusion type of angioscopy.
