Abstract
Background Patients with diabetes mellitus are at an increased risk for adverse clinical events following percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). However, the clinical impact of diabetes mellitus (DM) on second-generation drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation is not well-known. The aim of the current analysis was to examine the clinical impact of DM on clinical outcomes and the time sequence of associated risks in patients treated with second-generation DES. Methods Using patient-level data from two stent-specific, all-comer, prospective DES registries, we evaluated 1,913 patients who underwent PCI with second-generation DES between Feb 2009 and Dec 2013. The primary outcomes assessed were two-year major cardiac adverse events (MACE), composite endpoints of death from any cause, myocardial infarction (MI), and any repeat revascularization. We classified 0–1 year as the early period and 1–2 years as the late period. Landmark analyses were performed according to diabetes mellitus status. Results There were 1,913 patients with 2,614 lesions included in the pooled dataset. The median duration of clinical follow-up in the overall population was 2.0 years (interquartile range 1.9–2.1). Patients with DM had more cardiovascular risk factors than patients without DM. In multivariate analyses, the presence of DM and renal failure were strong predictors of MACE and target-vessel revascularization (TVR). After inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) analyses, patients with DM had significantly increased rates of 2-year MACE (HR 2.07, 95% CI; 1.50–2.86; P <0.001). In landmark analyses, patients with DM had significantly higher rates of MACE in the early period (0–1 year) (HR 3.04, 95% CI; 1.97–4.68; P < 0.001) after IPTW adjustment, but these findings or trends were not observed in the late period (1–2 year) (HR 1.24, 95% CI; 0.74–2.07; P = 0.41). Conclusions In the second-generation DES era, the clinical impact of DM significantly increased the 2-year event rate of MACE, mainly caused by clinical events in the early period (0–1 year). Careful observation of patients with DM is advised in the early period following PCI with second-generation DES.

Treatment of In-Stent Restenosis Using Excimer Laser Coronary Atherectomy and Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold Guided by Optical Coherence Tomography. CARDIOVASCULAR REVASCULARIZATION MEDICINE 2020; 22:44-49. [PMID: 32448779 DOI: 10.1016/j.carrev.2020.05.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2020] [Revised: 04/27/2020] [Accepted: 05/11/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
The rate of in-stent restenosis (ISR) has become increasingly prevalent with the exponential growth in stent implantation due to an aging population and a higher life expectancy, in addition to the high rates of obesity and diabetes. In this prospective, single operator, all-comer study, we sought to analyze the performance of ELCA followed by bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) placement in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ISR. A total of 13 patients had ISR treated with a combination of ELCA and BVS, with 9 patients having matched OCT pre, post ELCA and post BVS. Mean age was 65 ± 11.22 and 83% of the patients were male. Hypertension and dyslipidemia were present in 100% of the patients and smoking and diabetes in 50%. After the procedure, we did not detect residual stenosis over 10% in any patient, resulting in a technical success of 100%. No patients had MACE during their hospital stay or within the next six months, resulting in a procedure success of 100%. The mean lumen area increased 0.35 mm2 from pre procedure to post ELCA and 3.58 mm2 from post ELCA to post BVS. The final difference, from pre procedure to post BVS, was a 3.93 mm2 lumen area gain. The mean lumen diameter increased 0.11 mm from baseline to ELCA, 0.95 mm from post laser to BVS implantation and 1.06 mm from pre procedure to post BVS. The NIH area reduced 0.48 mm2 from pre to post ELCA, 1.13mm2 from post ELCA to BVS implantation and 1.61 mm2 from baseline to post BVS implantation. We conclude that ELCA is a safe and feasible debulking method to approach ISR, with high rates of post-procedural BVS success, within six months follow-up.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus, and even prediabetes, has been shown to be independently associated with cardiovascular disease. Our study explored whether the combination of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and fasting blood glucose (FBG) can better assess the severity of coronary heart disease (CHD) in elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) patients. We consecutively enrolled 1006 prediabetic patients with HbA1c 5.7% to 6.4% who underwent elective PCI. Patients were divided into 2 groups: a normal fasting glucose (NFG) group (FBG <6.1 mmol/L) and an impaired fasting glucose (IFG) group (6.1 ≤FBG<7.0 mmol/L) with defined values. Baseline characteristics and angiography data of the 2 groups were compared. The prevalence of 3-vessel disease (P = .002), the GENSINI (the score is named after a professor) score (P = .002), and the SYNTAX (SYNergy between PCI with TAXUS™ and Cardiac Surgery) score (P = .002) of the IFG group was significantly higher compared to the NFG group. After multiple regression analysis, FBG was found to be independently associated with prevalence of 3-vessel disease (adjusted odds ratio: 1.62; 95% confidence interval: 1.21-2.36; P = .013), the GENSINI score (standardized β = .138, P = .008), and the SYNTAX score (standardized β = .145, P = .005). In addition, HbA1 c was independently associated with the prevalence of 3-vessel disease, the GENSINI, score, and the SYNTAX score (P < .05). Both FBG and HbA1c are independently correlated with the severity of CHD in prediabetic patients with HbA1c 5.7% to 6.4%.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal management for coronary drug eluting stent in-stent restenosis (DES ISR) is unclear. We performed a meta-analysis of observational and randomized studies to compare the outcomes of management of DES ISR using DES, drug eluting balloon (DEB), or balloon angioplasty (BA). METHODS Eligible studies (25 single arm and 13 comparative, including 4 randomized studies with a total of 7,474 patients with DES ISR) were identified using MEDLINE search and proceedings of international meetings. Outcomes studied include major adverse cardiac events (MACE), target lesion revascularization (TLR), target vessel revascularization (TVR), myocardial infarction (MI), stent thrombosis (ST), and mortality. Follow-up ranged from 0.5 to 3.5 years (mean 1.4 years). RESULTS The rate of TLR was significantly lower in the DES (odds ratio [OR] 0.50, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.36-0.69) and DEB (OR 0.31, 95% CI 0.18-0.55) groups compared to BA. Similarly, TVR rate was significantly lower in the DES (OR 0.55, 95% CI 0.39-0.77) and DEB (OR 0.32, 95% CI 0.18-0.58) groups compared to BA. All other outcomes were similar between the DES/BA and DEB/BA comparisons. TLR was significantly lower in the DES group compared to BA for vessels < or > 2.75 mm. CONCLUSION Treatment of coronary DES ISR with DES or DEB is associated with a reduction in the risk of TLR and TVR compared to BA alone. The relative risk reduction for TLR with DES is similar to DEB. DEBs have a potential role in the treatment of DES ISR by avoiding placement of another layer of stent. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Background—
Clinical presentation of bare metal stent in-stent restenosis (ISR) in patients undergoing target lesion revascularization is well characterized and negatively affects on outcomes, whereas the presentation and outcomes of first- and second-generation drug-eluting stents (DESs) remains under-reported.
Methods and Results—
The study included 909 patients (1077 ISR lesions) distributed as follows: bare metal stent (n=388), first-generation DES (n=425), and second-generation DES (n=96), categorized into acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or non-ACS presentation mode at the time of first target lesion revascularization. ACS was further classified as myocardial infarction (MI) and unstable angina. For bare metal stent, first-generation DES and second-generation DES, ACS was the clinical presentation in 67.8%, 71.0%, and 66.7% of patients, respectively (
P
=0.470), whereas MI occurred in 10.6%, 10.1%, and 5.2% of patients, respectively (
P
=0.273). The correlates for MI as ISR presentation were current smokers (odds ratio, 3.02; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.78–5.13;
P
<0.001), and chronic renal failure (odds ratio, 2.73; 95% CI, 1.60–4.70;
P
<0.001), with a protective trend for the second-generation DES ISR (odds ratio, 0.35; 95% CI, 0.12–1.03;
P
=0.060). ACS presentations had an independent effect on major adverse cardiac events (death, MI, and re-target lesion revascularization) at 6 months (MI versus non-ACS: adjusted hazard ratio, 4.06; 95% CI, 1.84–8.94;
P
<0.001; unstable angina versus non-ACS: adjusted hazard ratio, 1.98; 95% CI, 1.01–3.87;
P
=0.046).
Conclusions—
ISR clinical presentation is similar irrespective of stent type. MI as ISR presentation seems to be associated with patient and not device-related factors. ACS as ISR presentation has an independent effect on major adverse cardiac events, suggesting that ISR remains a hazard and should be minimized.
