Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods for visually depicting a vessel and evaluating treatment options are disclosed.
Claims17
A system for evaluating a blood vessel of a patient, comprising:
- a first instrument sized and shaped for introduction into the vessel of the patient;
- and
- a processing system in communication with the first instrument and a second instrument sized and shaped for introduction into the vessel, the processing system configured to:
- obtain pressure measurements from first and second instruments while the first instrument is moved longitudinally through the vessel from a first position to a second position and the second instrument remains stationary within the vessel, and
- output, on a display in communication with the processing system, a graph comprising at least one bar, wherein a size of the bar is representative of an amount of change in a pressure ratio of obtained pressure measurements attributable to a portion of the vessel.
