Figure 1. Definition process of predicted and actual ablation according to OFDI
before and after rotational atherectomy and a representative case of OFDI
findings following rotational atherectomy.
(A) Definition process of the predicted and actual ablation areas. Cross-sectional
OFDI image (1) before and (2) after RA. (3, 4) Superimposed OFDI images of
before and after RA. The blue dotted line area indicates the predicted ablation area
(P-area). The yellow dotted line indicates the actual ablation area (A-area). White
circle indicates the Rota burr size circle (1.75 mm). (3) The red dotted line indicates
where the P-area and A-area overlapped (O-area). (4) Blue, yellow, and red angles
indicate the P-, R-, and O-angles, respectively. (B) Deep vessel wall injury extending
beyond the media before (1) and after RA (2). Blue area indicates P-area. Yellow
area indicates A-area. White circle indicates the Rota burr size circle (1.50 mm).
Asterisks show deep vessel wall injury extending beyond the media following RA on
above image. (C) Intimal flap outside of P-area (1) before and (2) after RA. White
arrowhead indicates intimal flap outside of the P-area following RA. White circle
indicates the Burr size circle (2.00 mm). OFDI, optical frequency domain imaging;
RA, rotational atherectomy.

Figure 3. Distribution of %Correct- and %Error-areas in all cross-sections.
All cross-sections were plotted according to %Correct- and %Error-areas. The
median %Correct- and %Error-areas were 43.1% and 64.2%, respectively. %Correct-

area, the ratio of correctness area; %Error-area, the ratio of error area.
Figure 4. Representative angiography and OFDI of good prediction and
irrelevant ablation cases.
(A) Good prediction. (B) Irrelevant ablation. Angiography images with (upper left)
and without contrast (lower left) are shown. OFDI results before and after rotational
atherectomy are shown (right). White double-head arrow indicates target lesions.
White triangles indicate wire position. White circles indicate the circle with Rota
burr dimensions. Blue dotted line indicates the predicted ablation area (P-area).
Yellow dotted line indicates the actual ablation area (A-area). The green dotted area
indicates the P-area with wire-based prediction. (A) In the leftmost cross-sections, Pand A-area were measured as 0.89 mm2 and 0.86 mm2, respectively, and O-area
(where overlapped P- and A-area) was 0.86 mm2. The %Correct- and %Error-area
were calculated to be 96.6% (O-area / P-area×100) and 0% ([A-area − O-area / Aarea]×100), respectively. After conducting similar measurement and calculation on
each cross-section, the mean %Correct-and %Error-area for each lesion were
calculated by the sum of %Correct-and %Error-area for each cross-section divided
by the number of cross-sections of the lesion. The mean %Correct- and %Error-area
were calculated to be 55% and 8%, respectively. (B) The mean %Correctand %Error-areas were 29% and 74%, respectively. OFDI, optical frequency domain
imaging; RA, rotational atherectomy; P-area, predicted ablation area; A-area, real
