SYSTEMS, METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR REAL-TIME ANASTOMOSIS GUIDANCE AND SURGICAL EVALUATION USING OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY

摘要

A surgical evaluation and guidance system for use in extravascular evaluation and guidance of fluid vessel surgeries, includes an optical coherence tomography engine; a vessel probe optically coupled to the optical coherence tomography engine; and a signal processing and display system adapted to communicate with the optical coherence tomography engine to receive imaging signals therefrom. An optical coherence tomography vessel probe for use in extravascular evaluation and guidance of fluid vessel surgeries, includes a probe body having a proximal end and a distal end; an optical relay system disposed within the probe body; and a vessel adapter at least one of attached to or integral with the probe body at the distal end of the probe body, wherein the vessel adapter defines a groove that is configured to accept one of a fluid vessel and a lymphaticovenous vessel.

1. A surgical evaluation and guidance system for use in extravascular evaluation and guidance of fluid vessel surgeries, comprising:
an optical coherence tomography engine; a vessel probe optically coupled to the optical coherence tomography engine; and a signal processing and display system adapted to communicate with the optical coherence tomography engine to receive imaging signals therefrom, wherein the vessel probe is configured to accommodate a fluid vessel in a position and orientation to provide a plurality of B-mode optical coherence tomography images displaced along the fluid vessel relative to each other, and wherein the signal processing and display system is configured to selectively display three-dimensional structural features of the fluid vessel and fluid flow through the fluid vessel.
