Detection of Coronary Stenosis With Intravenous Microbubbles
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
To detect coronary artery disease by both coronary and carotid artery imaging and myocardial perfusion imaging using a new low mechanical index real time system.
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |

N/A |
Detailed Description
The objective of this clinical study will be to visualize both coronary and carotid arteries as well as detect myocardial perfusion following a routine intravenous injection of Definity (0.05-0.20 millimeters), Optison (0.1-0.4 millimeters) or PESDA (0.05-0.2 mL). Following these injections , we will attempt to Contrast Pulse Sequencing on the Siemens Acuson Sequoia system to image both the coronary and carotid arteries, as well as the Myocardial perfusion.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: 1 Administration of Optison (0.1-0.4 mL) intravenously followed by Contrast Pulse Sequencing to image both the coronary and carotid arteries. Use will depend on availability of the contrast for the given study Optison will not be used on patients with blood allergies or Jehovah Witnesses |
Drug: Optison
0.1-0.4 mL through intravenous injection at the beginning of the study.
|
Active Comparator: 2 Intravenous injection of Definity (0.05-0.20 mL) followed by Contrast Pulse Sequencing to image both coronary and carotid arteries |
Drug: Definity
intravenous injection at 0.05-0.20 mL
|
Active Comparator: 3 intravenous Injection of PESDA at a rate of 0.05-0.20 mL followed by image of coronary and carotid arteries PESDA will be used exclusively in patients who are eligible for other IRB studies |
Drug: PESDA
intravenous injections dosage 0.05-0.20 mL

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- To determine whether this imaging scheme can detect both coronary and carotid artery stenoses as well as perfusion defects during a standard echocardiographic examination [2-4 months]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Visually analyze the coronary and carotid arteries as well as perfusion defects during a standard echocardiogram examination [immediate]
