Abstract
Devices for the diagnosis and treatment of microvascular obstruction (MVO) and other dysfunctional diseases of the microvasculature of many organs, including the heart. The present subject matter provides novel devices and methods to detect and measure or treat MVO in real time during scenarios such as invasive angiographic/therapeutic procedures. Such procedures include therapy for organ systems including the heart (acute myocardial infarction-primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI)), brain stroke (CVA), bowel ischemia/infarction, pulmonary emboli/infarction, critical limb ischemia/infarction, renal ischemia/infarction, and others. Using methods of the invention, a system comprising specialized infusion and sensing catheter, diagnostic agents, therapeutic agents, and control console with specialized algorithms can both diagnose and treat MVO by eliminating the microvascular clot and debris causing the obstruction. The techniques involve a combination of novel devices, methods, and software to simultaneously diagnose and treat MVO.
