Abstract
OBJETIVO: Avaliar a viabilidade e o potencial do uso da tomografia de coerência óptica em conjunto com um broncoscópio convencional na avaliação das vias aéreas. MÉTODOS: Estudo piloto baseado em um modelo experimental ex vivo com três animais: um coelho adulto da raça Nova Zelândia e dois suínos da raça Landrace. Um cateter de imagem de tomografia de coerência óptica foi inserido no canal de trabalho de um broncoscópio flexível para alcançarmos a traqueia distal dos animais. As imagens foram obtidas sistematicamente em toda a traqueia ao longo das paredes, partindo da porção distal para a proximal. RESULTADOS: O cateter de imagem se adaptou com facilidade ao canal de trabalho do broncoscópio. Imagens em alta resolução de cortes transversais da traqueia foram obtidas em tempo real, sendo delineadas microestruturas, tais como epitélio, submucosa, cartilagem e camada adventícia nas paredes anteriores e laterais da traqueia. As camadas correspondentes do epitélio, mucosa e cartilagens foram claramente diferenciadas. Na parede posterior, foi possível identificar mucosa, submucosa e musculatura traqueal. CONCLUSÕES: O uso de tomógrafo de coerência óptica em conjunto com um broncoscópio flexível é viável. A tomografia de coerência óptica produz imagens de alta resolução que permitem visualizar a microanatomia da traqueia, inclusive estruturas que normalmente são visualizadas somente na histologia convencional.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility of and the potential for using optical coherence tomography in conjunction with conventional bronchoscopy in the evaluation of the airways. METHODS: This was a pilot study based on an ex vivo experimental model involving three animals: one adult New Zealand rabbit and two Landrace pigs. An optical coherence tomography imaging catheter was inserted through the working channel of a flexible bronchoscope in order to reach the distal trachea of the animals. Images of the walls of the trachea were systematically taken along its entire length, from the distal to the proximal portion. RESULTS: The imaging catheter was easily adapted to the working channel of the bronchoscope. High-resolution images of cross sections of the trachea were taken in real time, precisely delineating microstructures, such as the epithelium, submucosa, and cartilage, as well as the adventitia of the anterior and lateral tracheal walls. The corresponding layers of the epithelium, mucosa, and cartilage were clearly differentiated. The mucosa, submucosa, and trachealis muscle were clearly identified in the posterior wall. CONCLUSIONS: It is feasible to use an optical coherence tomography imaging catheter in combination with a flexible bronchoscope. Optical coherence tomography produces high-resolution images that reveal the microanatomy of the trachea, including structures that are typically seen only on images produced by conventional histology.
