Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
BACKGROUND: Angioscopy - or endovascular endoscopy - is a catheter-based technique employing a flexible fiberoptic angioscope to directly visualize arterial lumen. Poor resolution and excessive stiffness of pre-existent angioscopes limited their use clinically. Recent advances resulted in novel fused optical fiber bundle angioscopes with improved flexibility and imaging resolution.Use of these devices in endovascular neurosurgery is still largely unexplored. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate image quality and feasibility of optical angioscopes for diagnostic and interventional neuro-angioscopy in carotid arteries of human cadavers. METHODS: A 5-F optical angioscope was used in human cadaveric carotid arteries to inspect integrity of arterial walls, identify atherosclerotic plaques and associated lesions prone to thrombogenicity, place intravascular occlusion coils, and deploy endovascular stents with real-time visualization. RESULTS: Angioscopy provided key information about endoluminal anatomy such as presence and characteristics of atherosclerotic plaques and thrombogenic lesions not detected by conventional diagnostic methods. Direct real-time visualization of vascular lumen during endovascular interventions provided information on spatial distribution of coils, coil loop herniation, and apposition of stent cells against carotid artery wall complementary to angiography. CONCLUSIONS: Fused optical fiber bundle angioscopes provide good-quality endoluminal images in human carotid arteries. Their use can feasibly assist in navigation of extracranial carotid arteries to inspect integrity of the arterial wall and identify atherosclerotic plaques and associated lesions vulnerable to thrombogenicity, allow placement of intravascular occlusion coils, and assess apposition of stents to vessel wall. Further in Vivo validation needs to be conducted alongwith additional research to improve image quality, flexibility, and size of angioscopes.
