In-vivo intravascular intervention with parylene micro-electrode to diagnose rupture-prone atherosclerotic plaque using electrical impedance spectroscopy

Creators

Abstract

It is of great clinical interest to have easy and reliable diagnostic techniques to localize and identify vulnerable plaques. Here, an in-vivo, catheter-integrated and balloon-mounted Parylene-C micro electrode impedance sensor was developed for intra-vascular interrogation of atherosclerotic vulnerable plaques using Electrical Impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Successful in vivo experiments of the EIS device were demonstrated using high-fat-dieted New Zealand rabbits. The results showed that electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) with micro parylene electrodes is promising to distinguish unstable plaques.
