To develop a two-dimensional intravascular near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging strategy for investigation of arterial inflammation in coronary-sized vessels. Molecular imaging of arterial inflammation could provide new insights into the pathogenesis of acute myocardial infarction stemming from coronary atheromata and implanted stents. Presently few high-resolution inflammation approaches can image inflammation in coronary-sized arteries in vivo. A new 2.9F rotational, automated pullback two-dimensional imaging catheter was engineered and optimized for 360-degree viewing intravascular NIRF imaging. In conjunction with the cysteine protease-activatable imaging reporter Prosense VM110, intra-arterial 2D NIRF imaging was performed in rabbit aortas with atherosclerosis (n=10) or implanted coronary bare metal stents (n=10, 3.5mm diameter, day 7 post-implantation). Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) provided co-registered anatomical images of arteries. After sacrifice, specimens underwent ex vivo NIRF imaging, fluorescence microscopy, and histological and immunohistochemical analyses. Imaging of coronary artery-scaled phantoms demonstrated 8-sector angular resolution and submillimeter axial resolution, nanomolar sensitivity to NIR fluorochromes, and modest NIRF light attenuation through blood. High-resolution NIRF images of vessel wall inflammation with signal-to-noise ratios > 10 were obtained in real-time through blood, without flushing or occlusion. In atherosclerosis, 2D NIRF, IVUS-NIRF fusion, microscopy, and immunoblotting studies provided insight into the spatial distribution of plaque protease activity. In stent-implanted vessels, real-time imaging illuminated an edge-based pattern of stent-induced arterial inflammation. A new 2D intravascular NIRF imaging strategy provides high-resolution in vivo spatial mapping of arterial inflammation in coronary-sized arteries, and reveals increased inflammation-regulated cysteine protease activity in atheromata and stentinduced arterial injury.
