Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for visually depicting a vessel and evaluating treatment options are disclosed. The methods can include obtaining proximal pressure measurements from a proximal pressure sensing component positioned within a vessel of a patient; obtaining distal pressure measurements from multiple pressure sensing components positioned within the vessel of the patient, wherein the multiple pressure sensing components are positioned distal of the proximal pressure sensing component and are spaced along a length of the vessel; and outputting a screen display having a visual representation of the proximal and distal pressure measurements.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods automatically detecting anomalous waveforms and eliminating these waveforms from physiologic measurements are disclosed. For example, in some instances a method includes collecting a pressure data from an intravascular device positioned within the vessel of the patient, the pressure data including a pressure waveform for each cardiac cycle of the patient; comparing the pressure waveform for each cardiac cycle of the patient to a reference pressure waveform to identify an anomalous pressure waveform; and calculating a pressure ratio utilizing the pressure data from the intravascular device, wherein data from the anomalous pressure waveform is excluded from the calculation.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for visually depicting a vessel and evaluating treatment options are disclosed. The methods can include introducing instruments into the vessel of a patient and obtaining proximal and distal pressure measurements of a stenosis of the vessel, calculating a pressure ratio based on the obtained proximal and distal pressure measurements, applying a correlation factor to the calculated pressure ratio to produce a predicted diagnostic pressure ratio, and displaying the predicted diagnostic pressure ratio to a user.

Abstract: What is described is an apparatus for intravascular pressure measurement, comprising an elongate body and a first pressure sensor. The elongate body includes a proximal portion and a distal portion, the body defines a lumen extending from a proximal end to a distal end of the body, the lumen is sized and shaped to allow the passage of a guidewire therethrough, and the body includes an annular wall extending from the lumen to an outer surface of the body. The first pressure sensor is disposed entirely within the wall of the distal portion of the body, and the pressure sensor includes a sensor cover coupled to the wall. An exterior surface of the sensor cover and the outer surface of the body are substantially aligned.
