Abstract
The 2023 European Bifurcation Club (EBC) meeting took place in Warsaw in October, and the latest evidence for the use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) to optimise percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) on coronary bifurcation lesions (CBLs) was a major focus. The topic generated deep discussions and general appraisal on the potential benefits of IVUS and OCT in PCI procedures. Nevertheless, despite an increasing recognition of IVUS and OCT capabilities and their recognised central role for guidance in complex CBL and left main PCI, it is expected that angiography will continue to be the primary guidance modality for CBL PCI, principally due to educational and economic barriers. Mindful of the restricted access/adoption of intracoronary imaging for CBL PCI, the EBC board decided to review and describe a series of tips and tricks which can help to optimise angiography-guided PCI for CBLs. The identified key points for achieving an optimal angiography-guided PCI include a thorough analysis of pre-PCI images (computed tomography angiography, multiple angiographic views, quantitative coronary angiography vessel estimation), a systematic application of the technical steps suggested for a given selected technique, an intraprocedural or post-PCI use of stent enhancement and a low threshold for bailout use of intravascular imaging.

Impact of the Balloon Inflation Time and Pattern on the Coronary Stent Expansion. J Interv Cardiol 2019; 2019:6945372. [PMID: 31772543 PMCID: PMC6739786 DOI: 10.1155/2019/6945372] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2018] [Revised: 01/09/2019] [Accepted: 02/14/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives To assess the expansion pattern of coronary stents by using different balloon inflation times and pressures. Background The selection of coronary stent size and its proper deployment is crucial in coronary artery interventions, having an impact on the success of the procedure and further therapy. Methods Ten pairs of different stents were deployed under nominal pressure using sequential (5, 5, 10, and 10 seconds of repeated inflations, thus 30 seconds of summarized time) and continuous (30 seconds) deployment pattern. After each given time-point, intraluminal stent measurements were performed by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). Results Both in-stent diameters and cross-section areas (CSA) of paired stents measured by OCT at all sequential time-points were significantly smaller compared to given manufacturers charts' values (90% to 94% for diameters and 81% to 88% for CSA, p<0.05). Significant increase of in-stent diameter and CSA was observed across the step-by-step deployment pattern. In-stent lumen measurements were significantly larger when sequential deployment pattern was applied compared to continuous deployment. Additional measurements were also done for overlapping segments of stents, showing smaller in-stent measurements of the latter compared to nonoverlapping segments. Validation of OCT and IVUS measurements using a phantom metallic tube showed perfect reproducibility with OCT and overestimation with IVUS (8% for diameters and 16% for CSA). Conclusions Stent diameter after deployment is time-dependent and not only pressure-dependent. Different stent expansion behavior, depending on the applied deployment pattern (sequential and nonsequential), was observed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite evidence from individual studies suggesting that prolonged inflation improves coronary stent expansion, relatively shorter inflation times are commonly employed in clinical practice. METHODS We performed an electronic search of PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane, and CINAHL databases to retrieve outcome studies comparing prolonged versus short inflation times during stent deployment. Outcomes studied included minimal stent diameter (MSD) and minimal stent area (MSA). Standardized mean difference (SMD) was used to estimate the effect sizes for these continuous variables. RESULTS Seven studies with a total of 341 patients (415 lesions; mean age 67.6 years; 82% male) were included. Drug-eluting stents were used in 89 ± 15% of coronary lesions. Prolonged stent inflation was associated with increased minimal stent diameter (2.93 ± 0.34 mm vs. 2.72 ± 0.28 mm; SMD = 0.42; 95% CI 0.25-0.59; P < 0.001) and minimal stent area (5.99 ± 1.21 mm2 vs. 5.17 ± 0.87 mm2 ; SMD = 0.46; 95% CI 0.19-0.73; P = 0.001) compared with shorter duration stent inflation. This difference remained significant in sensitivity analyses that excluded studies with very prolonged inflation duration or multiple stent balloon inflations. CONCLUSION Despite differences in duration and methodology, prolonged stent inflation is associated with improved expansion compared with shorter duration. The effect of this optimization recommends randomized trials to determine whether long-term outcomes can be improved by this simple technical modification.

Optical coherence tomography-verified longer balloon inflation time may provide better stent apposition and optimal index parameters. Herz 2018; 45:369-374. [PMID: 30191264 DOI: 10.1007/s00059-018-4738-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2018] [Revised: 07/10/2018] [Accepted: 07/18/2018] [Indexed: 10/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Incomplete stent expansion and inadequate apposition predispose to stent thrombosis following percutaneous coronary intervention. Recent studies have shown that increasing the duration of balloon inflation during stent employment was beneficial. Thus, the balloon inflation time required for optimal stent expansion and apposition in patients receiving second-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) were determined using optical coherence tomography (OCT). PATIENTS AND METHODS Between April 2014 and March 2015, 38 patients (28 men, 10 women; mean age 60.5 ± 11.4 years) with stable angina pectoris due to single significant de novo coronary artery stenosis were prospectively enrolled. All patients were administered aspirin and clopidogrel and received weight-adjusted intravenous unfractionated heparin. Images of basal lesions were obtained using the C7XR LightLab Dragonfly OCT catheter. RESULTS Expansion and apposition parameters improved with increasing duration of balloon inflation (30 s or 60 s) with nominal pressure (12 atm). Mean lesion length was 19.8 ± 7.6 mm. Mean stent diameter and length were 2.8 ± 0.36 mm and 24.9 ± 7.6 mm, respectively. CONCLUSION With deployment of a stent at nominal pressure with conventional duration, inadequate stent expansion and malapposition frequently occurred as detected by OCT; however, a balloon inflation duration of 60 s markedly improved stent expansion and apposition parameters without significant complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal implantation technique for the bioresorbable scaffold (Absorb, Abbott Vascular) is still a matter of debate. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of implantation technique on strut embedment and scaffold expansion.Methods and Results:Strut embedment depth and scaffold expansion index assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT) (minimum scaffold area/reference vessel area) were evaluated in the ABSORB Japan trial (OCT subgroup: 87 lesions) with respect to implantation technique using either quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) or OCT. Strut embedment was assessed at the strut level (n=667), while scaffold expansion was assessed at the lesion level (n=81). The mean embedment depth was 63±59 µm. Balloon sizing and inflation pressure had no direct effect on strut embedment. Plaque morphology affected strut embedment [nonatherosclerotic (58.9±54.3 µm), fibroatheroma (73.3±59.6 µm), fibrous plaque (59.7±51.1 µm), and fibrocalcific plaque (-3.1±61.6 µm, negative value means malapposition), P <0.001]. The balloon-artery ratio positively correlated with the expansion index. This relationship was stronger when the OCT-derived reference vessel diameter (RVD) was used as a reference for balloon selection rather than the QCA-derived one [predilatation (Pearson correlation r: QCA: 0.167 vs. OCT: 0.552), postdilatation (QCA: 0.316 vs. OCT: 0.717)]. CONCLUSIONS Underlying plaque morphology influenced strut embedment, whereas implantation technique had no direct effect on it. Optimal balloon sizing based on OCT-derived RVD might be recommended. However, the safety of such a strategy should be investigated in a prospective trial. (Circ J 2016; 80: 2317-2326).
