研究内容

 当グループでは、血管内超音波法(Intravascular Ultrasound;IVUS)を用いた冠動脈内の動脈硬化病変に関する研究を長年にわたり行ってきました。これまでに、冠動脈粥腫(プラーク)の組織性状評価法の開発(Wavelet解析・Radio-frequency解析)、冠動脈イメージングの3次元化(3D-IVUS解析)、プラーク破裂機序の解明(Shear stress解析・シミュレーション解析)などを行い、その成果を国内外で発表してきました。

 近年、IVUSよりも高解像度の光干渉断層法(Optical Coherence Tomography;OCT)が登場し、冠動脈内病変およびその治療をより詳細に評価することが可能となりました。特に、OCT画像を3次元化した3D-OCTは、病変を立体的に可視化できるだけでなく、ステントストラットの形状を正確に把握することが可能であり、冠動脈分岐部治療において有用と考えられています。当研究チームでは、冠動脈分岐部病変のステント治療における3D-OCTの有用性や、3D-OCTを用いた冠動脈分岐角度の評価、定量的冠血流予備量比(Quantitative Flow Ratio;QFR)による冠動脈狭窄に対する虚血評価、MDCTと冠動脈分岐部病変との関連性について研究を進めており、その成果を報告してきました。

 また、早稲田大学(TWINs)と共同で左冠動脈主幹部分岐部の拍動病変モデルを作成し、3D-OCT/3D-OFDIガイド下にTwo-stent留置を行い、血管内イメージングの有用性およびTwo-stent治療の特性についても研究を行っています。さらに、多施設共同研究にも積極的に参加し、調査研究および情報発信を精力的に行っています。
