Tracking delivery of a drug surrogate in the porcine heart using photoacoustic imaging and spectroscopy

Tracking delivery of a drug surrogate in the porcine heart using photoacoustic imaging and spectroscopy

Although the drug-eluting stent (DES) has dramatically reduced the rate of coronary restenosis, it still occurs in up to 20% of patients with a DES. Monitoring drug delivery could be one way to decrease restenosis rates. We demonstrate real-time photoacoustic imaging and spectroscopy (PAIS) using a...
