Abstract
AIMS: Video motion analysis (VMA) uses fluoroscopic sequences to derive catheter and guidewire movement, and is able to calculate 2D catheter-tip path length (PL) on the basis of frame-by-frame pixel coordinates. The objective of this study was to validate VMA in coronary angiography as a method of skill assessment. METHODS AND RESULTS: Forty-seven coronary interventions performed by 10 low- (<1,000 cases; group A), five medium- (1,000-4,000; group B) and six high- (>4,000; group C) experience-volume cardiologists were prospectively recorded and analysed using VMA software. Total PL was calculated and procedure, fluoroscopy times, and radiation dose were recorded. Comparisons of PL were made between groups of experience. Groups A, B and C performed 24, 14 and 6 paired (right and left coronary) cannulations, respectively. Calculation of PL was possible in all recorded cases and significantly correlated with procedure (p=<0.001, rho=0.827) and fluoroscopy times (p=<0.001, rho=0.888). Median total path length (combined right and left coronaries) was significantly shorter in group C which used 3,836 pixels of movement (IQR: 3,003-4,484) vs. 10,556 (7,242-31,408) in group A (p=<0.001) and 8,725 (5,187-15,150) in group B (p=0.013). CONCLUSIONS: VMA in coronary angiography is feasible and PL is able to differentiate levels of experience.
