Abstract
Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) has significantly contributed to reducing the mortality of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) even in cardiogenic shock and is now the standard of care in most of Japanese institutions. The Task Force on Primary PCI of the Japanese Association of Cardiovascular Intervention and Therapeutics (CVIT) proposed an expert consensus document for the management of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) focusing on procedural aspects of primary PCI in 2018 and updated in 2022. Recently, the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) published the guidelines for the management of acute coronary syndrome in 2023. Major new updates in the 2023 ESC guideline include: (1) intravascular imaging should be considered to guide PCI (Class IIa); (2) timing of complete revascularization; (3) antiplatelet therapy in patient with high-bleeding risk. Reflecting rapid advances in the field, the Task Force on Primary PCI of the CVIT group has now proposed an updated expert consensus document for the management of ACS focusing on procedural aspects of primary PCI in 2024 version.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The slow-flow phenomenon is associated with worse clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), so our goal for this study was to see how predictive how near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) could be. METHODS AND RESULTS We enrolled 179 lesions from 152 patients who had de novo coronary stent implantation guided by NIRS-intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) (male: 69.1%, mean age: 74.3±11.5 years, acute coronary syndrome: 65.1%, diabetes: 42.1%). NIRS automatically determined the maximum 4-mm lipid core burden index (maxLCBI4 mm) value at pre- and post-PCI procedures. The slow-flow phenomenon was defined as the deterioration of TIMI (Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction) flows on angiography during the PCI procedure in the absence of mechanical obstruction. The slow-flow phenomenon occurred in 13 (7.3%) lesions, and the slow-flow phenomenon group had a significantly higher maxLCBI4 mm(740±147 vs. 471±223, P<0.001). The best maxLCBI4 mmcutoff point in both acute and chronic coronary syndrome was 578 and 480, with sensitivity of 100%, for predicting the slow-flow phenomenon. In the receiver-operating characteristics analysis, the area under the curve for acute and chronic coronary syndrome was 0.849 and 0.851, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study support the utility of NIRS-IVUS-guided PCI for the prediction of the slow-flow phenomenon.

Abstract
Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) has significantly contributed to reducing the mortality of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) even in cardiogenic shock and is now the standard of care in most of Japanese institutions. The Task Force on Primary PCI of the Japanese Association of Cardiovascular Interventional and Therapeutics (CVIT) society proposed an expert consensus document for the management of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) focusing on procedural aspects of primary PCI in 2018. Updated guidelines for the management of AMI were published by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) in 2017 and 2020. Major changes in the guidelines for STEMI patients included: (1) radial access and drug-eluting stents (DES) over bare-metal stents (BMS) were recommended as a Class I indication, (2) complete revascularization before hospital discharge (either immediate or staged) is now considered as Class IIa recommendation. In 2020, updated guidelines for Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) patients, the followings were changed: (1) an early invasive strategy within 24 h is recommended in patients with NSTEMI as a Class I indication, (2) complete revascularization in NSTEMI patients without cardiogenic shock is considered as Class IIa recommendation, and (3) in patients with atrial fibrillation following a short period of triple antithrombotic therapy, dual antithrombotic therapy (e.g., DOAC and single oral antiplatelet agent preferably clopidogrel) is recommended, with discontinuation of the antiplatelet agent after 6 to 12 months. Furthermore, an aspirin-free strategy after PCI has been investigated in several trials those have started to show the safety and efficacy. The Task Force on Primary PCI of the CVIT group has now proposed the updated expert consensus document for the management of AMI focusing on procedural aspects of primary PCI in 2022 version.

Abstract
While primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has significantly contributed to improve the mortality in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction even in cardiogenic shock, primary PCI is a standard of care in most of Japanese institutions. Whereas there are high numbers of available facilities providing primary PCI in Japan, there are no clear guidelines focusing on procedural aspect of the standardized care. Whilst updated guidelines for the management of acute myocardial infarction were recently published by European Society of Cardiology, the following major changes are indicated; (1) radial access and drug-eluting stent over bare metal stent were recommended as Class I indication, and (2) complete revascularization before hospital discharge (either immediate or staged) is now considered as Class IIa recommendation. Although the primary PCI is consistently recommended in recent and previous guidelines, the device lag from Europe, the frequent usage of coronary imaging modalities in Japan, and the difference in available medical therapy or mechanical support may prevent direct application of European guidelines to Japanese population. The Task Force on Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention of the Japanese Association of Cardiovascular Intervention and Therapeutics (CVIT) has now proposed the expert consensus document for the management of acute myocardial infarction focusing on procedural aspect of primary PCI.

[PMID: 28912893 PMCID: PMC5596441 DOI: 10.7150/thno.19422] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2017] [Accepted: 07/10/2017] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Rationale: Microembolization during PCI for acute myocardial infarction can cause microvascular obstruction (MVO). MVO severely limits the success of reperfusion therapies, is associated with additional myonecrosis, and is linked to worse prognosis, including death. We have shown, both in in vitro and in vivo models, that ultrasound (US) and microbubble (MB) therapy (termed “sonoreperfusion” or “SRP”) is a theranostic approach that relieves MVO and restores perfusion, but the underlying mechanisms remain to be established. Objective: In this study, we investigated the role of nitric oxide (NO) during SRP. Methods and results: We first demonstrated in plated cells that US-stimulated MB oscillations induced a 6-fold increase in endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) phosphorylation in vitro. We then monitored the kinetics of intramuscular NO and perfusion flow rate responses following 2-min of SRP therapy in the rat hindlimb muscle, with and without blockade of eNOS with LNAME. Following SRP, we found that starting at 6 minutes, intramuscular NO increased significantly over 30 min and was higher than baseline after 13 min. Concomitant contrast enhanced burst reperfusion imaging confirmed that there was a marked increase in perfusion flow rate at 6 and 10 min post SRP compared to baseline (>2.5 fold). The increases in intramuscular NO and perfusion rate were blunted with LNAME. Finally, we tested the hypothesis that NO plays a role in SRP by assessing reperfusion efficacy in a previously described rat hindlimb model of MVO during blockade of eNOS. After US treatment 1, microvascular blood volume was restored to baseline in the MB+US group, but remained low in the LNAME group. Perfusion rates increased in the MB+US group after US treatment 2 but not in the MB+US+LNAME group. Conclusions: These data strongly support that MB oscillations can activate the eNOS pathway leading to increased blood perfusion and that NO plays a significant role in SRP efficacy.

Abstract
Distal embolization of micro-thrombi during stenting for myocardial infarction causes micro-vascular obstruction (MVO). We have previously shown that sonoreperfusion (SRP), a microbubble (MB)-mediated ultrasound (US) therapy, resolves MVO from venous micro-thrombi in vitro in saline. However, blood is more viscous than saline, and arterial thrombi that embolize during stenting are mechanically distinct from venous clot. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that MVO created with arterial micro-thrombi are more resistant to SRP therapy compared with venous micro-thrombi, and higher viscosity further increases the US requirement for effective SRP in an in vitro model of MVO. Lipid MBs suspended in plasma with adjusted viscosity (1.1 cP or 4.0 cP) were passed through tubing bearing a mesh with 40-μm pores to simulate a micro-vascular cross-section; upstream pressure reflected thrombus burden. To simulate MVO, the mesh was occluded with either arterial or venous micro-thrombi to increase upstream pressure to 40 mmHg ± 5 mmHg. Therapeutic long-tone-burst US was delivered to the occluded area for 20 min. MB activity was recorded with a passive cavitation detector. MVO caused by arterial micro-thrombi at either blood or plasma viscosity resulted in less effective SRP therapy compared to venous thrombi. Higher viscosity further reduced the effectiveness of SRP therapy. The passive cavitation detector showed a decrease in inertial cavitation when viscosity was increased, while stable cavitation was affected in a more complex manner. Overall, these data suggest that arterial thrombi may require higher acoustic pressure US than venous thrombi to achieve similar SRP efficacy; increased viscosity decreases SRP efficacy; and both inertial and stable cavitation are implicated in observed SRP efficacy.

Abstract
Aim: Although distal embolization during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) deteriorates cardiac function, whether distal protection (DP) can improve prognosis is still controversial. We investigated whether a filter-type DP device, Filtrap®, could improve long-term outcomes after PCI for AMI. Method: We studied 164 patients (130 men, mean age: 65.7 years) who underwent PCI. Patients were divided into two groups based on the use of Filtrap®. The occurrence of congestive heart failure (CHF) and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) defined as cardiac death, recurrent AMI, and target vessel revascularization were compared. Result: Between DP (n = 53, 41 men, mean age: 65.5 years) and non-DP (n = 111, 89 men, mean age: 65.8 years) groups, although there was significantly greater plaque area in the DP group than in the non-DP group, there were no significant differences in coronary reperfusion flow after PCI. Interestingly, patients with CHF in the non-DP group exhibited a higher CK level than those in the DP group. During a 2-year follow-up period, cumulative CHF was significantly lower in the DP group than in the non-DP group (log-rank p = 0.018), and there was no significant difference in the MACE rate (log-rank p = 0.238). The use of DP device could not predict MACE, but could predict CHF by multivariate analysis (odds ratio = 0.099, 95% CI: 0.02–0.42, p = 0.005). Conclusion: These results demonstrate that favorable clinical outcomes could be achieved by the filter-type DP device in AMI, particularly in patients with CHF.

ULTRASOUND IN MEDICINE & BIOLOGY 2015; 41:456-64.

Abstract
Despite epicardial coronary artery reperfusion by percutaneous coronary intervention, distal micro-embolization into the coronary microcirculation limits myocardial salvage during acute myocardial infarction. Thrombolysis using ultrasound and microbubbles (sonothrombolysis) is an approach that induces microbubble oscillations to cause clot disruption and restore perfusion. We sought to determine whether this technique could restore impaired tissue perfusion caused by thrombotic microvascular obstruction. In 16 rats, an imaging transducer was placed on the biceps femoris muscle, perpendicular to a single-element 1-MHz treatment transducer. Ultrasound contrast perfusion imaging was performed at baseline and after micro-embolization. Therapeutic ultrasound (5000 cycles, pulse repetition frequency = 0.33 Hz, 1.5 MPa) was delivered to nine rats for two 10-min sessions during intra-arterial infusion of lipid-encapsulated microbubbles; seven control rats received no ultrasound-microbubble therapy. Ultrasound contrast perfusion imaging was repeated after each treatment or control period, and microvascular volume was measured as peak video intensity. There was a 90% decrease in video intensity after micro-embolization (from 8.6 ± 4.8 to 0.7 ± 0.8 dB, p < 0.01). The first and second ultrasound-microbubble sessions were respectively followed by video intensity increases of 5.8 ± 5.1 and 8.7 ± 5.7 dB (p < 0.01, compared with micro-embolization). The first and second control sessions, respectively, resulted in no significant increase in video intensity (2.4 ± 2.3 and 3.6 ± 4.9) compared with micro-embolization (0.6 ± 0.7 dB). We have developed an in vivo model that simulates the distal thrombotic microvascular obstruction that occurs after primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Long-pulse-length ultrasound with microbubbles has a therapeutic effect on microvascular perfusion and may be a valuable adjunct to reperfusion therapy for acute myocardial infarction.

Abstract
No-reflow/slow-flow phenomenon (NF) is a poor prognostic factor in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Distal protection devices (DPDs) prevent myocardial injury due to microembolic debris. When the target lesion involves a large side branch, DPDs can only protect the main vessel but not the side branch. In the present report, we describe the use of a two-step deflation in kissing-balloon technique for preventing NF in 4 patients (M/F = 4/0, 65 ± 6 years) in which the culprit lesions with NF risk involved a bifurcation. The procedures were uneventful and the 4 patients were discharged ≤24 h without ECG change and elevation of serum level of creatine kinase. The sequential deflation of kissing-balloon technique may constitute a possible solution for the NF related with the side branch on bifurcation lesions.

Abstract
A 67-year-old man who had a history of syncope was admitted because of effort angina. The sinus node (SN) was the single blood supply from the right coronary artery (RCA). After we implanted 2 everolimus-eluting stents for RCA, slow-flow occurred and the SN artery was occluded, and junctional escape rhythm was sustained. After the wiring to the occluded SN artery, junctional escape rhythm immediately recovered to sinus rhythm, and the patient achieved continuous sinus rhythm and stable hemodynamics. Given that acute SN ischemia is a possible cause of sinus dysfunction, careful choice of a percutaneous coronary intervention strategy should be taken into consideration if the SN artery is the single blood supply from the RCA and if syncopal history is present.
