Abstract: The present invention generally relates to devices for imaging the interior of a vessel. The device can involve an elongated body configured to fit within the lumen of a vessel, a rotatable shaft positioned inside the elongated body, and a telescoping element, wherein a portion of the elongated body extends through the telescoping element, in which the elongated body is configured to contain the rotatable shaft inside the telescoping element.

Abstract: The invention generally relates to intravascular imaging catheters and methods of making catheters for imaging systems. The invention provides a connector for an imaging catheter that includes a unitary body with very thin electrical contacts that are formed on the surface of the body. Due to the scale of the contacts, the connector operates essentially as a single unitary piece of material. Each of the leads may be less than about 100 μm wide and less than about 8 μm thick, and further the leads may be spaced apart by less than about 160 μm

Abstract: The invention is a method for calibrating an intravascular pressure sensor at the point of use. By using data from a secondary pressure measurement device, e.g., an automated aortic pressure monitor, the pressure sensor can be easily calibrated over a range of temperatures and pressures relevant to the patient. Accordingly, an intravascular pressure sensor can be calibrated without undergoing a factory calibration. Additionally, in the event that the calibration is lost, the sensor can be recalibrated.
