He YM, Masuda S, Jiang TB, Xu JP, Sun BC, Ge JB. CatLet score and clinical CatLet score as predictors of long-term outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction presenting later than 12 hours from symptom onset. Ann Med 2024; 56:2349190. [PMID: 38738420 PMCID: PMC11095273 DOI: 10.1080/07853890.2024.2349190] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2023] [Accepted: 03/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Our recently developed Coronary Artery Tree description and Lesion EvaluaTion (CatLet) angiographic scoring system is unique in its description of the variability in the coronary anatomy, the degree of stenosis of a diseased coronary artery, and its subtended myocardial territory, and can be utilized to predict clinical outcomes for patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) presenting ≤12 h after symptom onset. The current study aimed to assess whether the Clinical CatLet score (CCS), as compared with CatLet score (CS), better predicted clinical outcomes for AMI patients presenting >12 h after symptom onset. METHODS CS was calculated in 1018 consecutive AMI patients enrolled in a retrospective registry. CCS was calculated by multiplying CS by the ACEF I score (age, creatinine, and left ventricular ejection fraction). Primary endpoint was major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) at 4-year-follow-up, a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, and ischemia-driven revascularization. RESULTS Over a 4-year follow-up period, both scores were independent predictors of clinical outcomes after adjustment for a broad spectrum of risk factors. Areas-under-the-curve (AUCs) for CS and CCS were 0.72(0.68-0.75) and 0.75(0.71-0.78) for MACEs; 0.68(0.63-0.73) and 0.78(0.74-0.83) for all-cause death; 0.73(0.68-0.79) and 0.83(0.79-0.88) for cardiac death; and 0.69(0.64-0.73) and 0.75(0.7-0.79) for myocardial infarction; and 0.66(0.61-0.7) and 0.63(0.58-0.68) for revascularization, respectively. CCS performed better than CS in terms of the above-mentioned outcome predictions, as confirmed by the net reclassification and integrated discrimination indices. CONCLUSIONS CCS was better than CS to be able to risk-stratify long-term outcomes in AMI patients presenting >12 h after symptom onset. These findings have indicated that both anatomic and clinical variables should be considered in decision-making on management of patients with AMI presenting later.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In order to identify coronary lesions that cause myocardial ischaemia and require revascularisation, fractional flow reserve (FFR) is widely recommended. Recently, a method of estimating the FFR using morphological features measured by an imaging device was developed. However, all the previously developed methods are conducted offline, and such analysis takes approximately 10 minutes. AIMS The aim of this present study was to develop an online measurement of the FFR using an intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) quantitative method (IQ-FFR). METHODS This prospective, single-centre study included coronary lesions that met the following criteria: (1) presence of at least one stenosis (25-99%); (2) both IVUS and FFR measurement performed just before and after stent implantation, with the wire-derived FFR measured with a standard method; and (3) acquisition of clear images throughout the entire coronary branch. RESULTS We developed an IVUS analysis system that automatically measures the cross-sectional area every 0.5 mm, and we calculated the IQ-FFR. In the prediction study, we calculated the IQ-FFR on the assumption that one stent of arbitrary length and diameter was implanted. After stent implantation, the wire-derived FFR was measured and compared with the calculated IQ-FFR. We compared 270 coronary lesions with stenosis rates of 32-99%. IQ-FFR measurements were strongly correlated with the wire-derived FFR (r=0.896). In the prediction study, the clinical accuracy of predicting whether the FFR would be greater or less than 0.80 after stent implantation was 87.5%. CONCLUSIONS The IQ-FFR is a promising method to identify coronary lesions requiring revascularisation and to predict the FFR after stent implantation.

Abstract
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been most commonly guided by coronary angiography. However, to overcome the inherent limitations of conventional coronary angiography, there has been an increasing interest in the adjunctive tools of intracoronary imaging for PCI guidance. Recently, optical coherence tomography (OCT) has garnered substantial attention as a valid intravascular imaging modality for guiding PCI. However, despite the unparalleled high-resolution imaging capability of OCT, which offers detailed anatomical information on coronary lesion morphology and PCI optimisation, its broad application in routine PCI practice remains limited. Several factors may have curtailed the widespread adoption of OCT-guided PCI in daily practice, including the transitional challenge from intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), the experienced skill required for image acquisition and interpretation, the lack of a uniform algorithm for OCT-guided PCI optimisation, and the limited clinical evidence. Herein, we provide an in-depth review of OCT-guided PCI, involving the technical aspects, optimal strategies for OCT-guided PCI, and the wide application of OCT-guided PCI in various anatomical subsets. Special attention is given to the latest clinical evidence from recent randomised clinical trials with respect to OCT-guided PCI.

Predictive models for cholesterol crystals and plaque vulnerability in acute myocardial infarction: Insights from an optical coherence tomography study. Int J Cardiol 2024; 418:132610. [PMID: 39366560 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2024.132610] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2024] [Revised: 09/08/2024] [Accepted: 09/30/2024] [Indexed: 10/06/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cholesterol crystals (CCs) are recognized as a risk factor for vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque rupture (PR) and major adverse cardiovascular events. However, their predictive factors and association with plaque vulnerability in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remain insufficiently explored. Therefore, This study aims to investigate the association between CCs and plaque vulnerability in culprit lesions of AMI patients, identify the factors influencing CCs formation, and develop a predictive model for CCs. METHODS A total of 431 culprit lesions from AMI patients who underwent pre-intervention optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging were analyzed. Patients were divided into groups based on the presence or absence of CCs and PR. The relationship between CCs and plaque vulnerability was evaluated. A risk nomogram for predicting CCs was developed using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator and logistic regression analysis. RESULTS CCs were identified in 64.5 % of patients with AMI. The presence of CCs was associated with a higher prevalence of vulnerable plaque features, such as thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA), PR, macrophage infiltration, neovascularization, calcification, and thrombus, compared to patients without CCs. The CCs model demonstrated an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.676 for predicting PR. Incorporating CCs into the TCFA model (AUC = 0.656) significantly enhanced predictive accuracy, with a net reclassification improvement index of 0.462 (95 % confidence interval [CI]: 0.263-0.661, p < 0.001) and an integrated discrimination improvement index of 0.031 (95 % CI: 0.013-0.048, p = 0.001). Multivariate regression analysis identified the atherogenic index of plasma (odds ratio [OR] = 2.417), TCFA (OR = 1.759), macrophage infiltration (OR = 3.863), neovascularization (OR = 2.697), calcification (OR = 1.860), and thrombus (OR = 2.430) as independent risk factors for CCs formation. The comprehensive model incorporating these factors exhibited reasonable discriminatory ability, with an AUC of 0.766 (95 % CI: 0.717-0.815) in the training set and 0.753 (95 % CI: 0.704-0.802) in the internal validation set, reflecting good calibration. Decision curve analysis suggested that the model has potential clinical utility within a threshold probability range of approximately 18 % to 85 %. CONCLUSIONS CCs were associated with plaque vulnerability in the culprit lesions of AMI patients. Additionally, this study identified key factors influencing CCs formation and developed a predictive model with potential clinical applicability.

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 Calcification within chronic total occlusions (CTO) is strongly associated with worse outcomes. Despite the excellent success and safety of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) in heavily calcified lesions, evidence in CTO remains scarce. AIM This study aimed to evaluate the procedural and long-term clinical outcomes of IVL in heavily calcified CTO. METHODS Patients who underwent IVL between 2019 and 2024 from an ongoing prospective multicenter registry were eligible for inclusion. Patients were therefore classified in CTO and non-CTO groups. The efficacy and safety endpoints of CTO percutaneous coronary interventions were defined according to the CTO-ARC consensus. In-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) included cardiac death, nonfatal myocardial infarction and target lesion revascularization (TVR). RESULTS A total of 404 patients underwent IVL, of which the treated lesion was a CTO in 33 (8.2%). The mean J-CTO score was 2.3 ± 1.1. Device success showed no significant difference between CTO and non-CTO groups (100% vs 98.4%; p = 0.35). Comparable technical success with residual stenosis <30% was observed in both groups (90.1% in CTO vs 89.2% in non-CTO, p = 0.83). The incidence of MACE was similar across groups during hospital stays (CTO 6.0% vs. non-CTO 1.9%, p = 0.12), at 30-day (CTO 9.1% vs. non-CTO 3.0%, p = 0.07), and at 12-month follow-up (CTO 9.1% vs. non-CTO 7.3%, p = 0.70). CONCLUSION IVL provides high procedural success and consistent clinical outcomes in both CTO and non-CTO cases, reinforcing its role in managing heavily calcified coronary lesions.

Abstract
Tortuosity and fragility of the intracranial vasculature have precluded the application of novel intravascular imaging modalities during the treatment of cerebrovascular pathologies. In other circulatory beds, these technologies have transformed clinical and therapeutic decision-making. A new report demonstrates the clinical use of high-resolution intravascular imaging in the human cerebrovasculature using neuro optical coherence tomography. This technology provides an unprecedented opportunity to examine the luminal dimensions of cerebrovascular disease. We expect that the neurointerventional community will rapidly adopt this technology-similar to wider adoptions by other vascular specialties-for both a better understanding of underlying disease and clarity of endovascular therapeutic safety and effectiveness.

Abstract
Existing studies evaluating the comparison of clinical outcome of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for severe calcified coronary lesions are limited, and the clinical outcomes of PCI for different morphologies of calcified lesions are controversial. Overall, consecutive 576 lesions with severe calcification that were treated with PCI from 2010 to 2021 at Nagoya Heart Center were investigated. All lesions were assessed using invasive coronary angiogram (CAG) or computed tomography-CAG at 12 months after DES implantation. We divided the patients into three groups based on the results of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging (concentric calcified lesion [CC] n = 273, eccentric calcified lesion [EC] n = 217, calcified nodule [CN] n = 86). The clinical and angiographic outcomes of each group were investigated retrospectively to compare the prognosis between the three groups and identify predictive factors for the device-oriented composite end points (DoCE). There were no differences in patient characteristics among the three groups, except that there were significantly more patients on dialysis in the CN group. The incidence of DoCE was significantly higher in the CN group than in the other groups (CC; 18.3% vs. EC; 23.5% vs. CN; 36.0%; Log-Rank test; p = 0.001). Cox regression analysis showed that the independent predictors of DoCE were CN, insulin use, hemodialysis, right coronary artery lesions, and calcium cracks. The incidence of DoCE was significantly higher in the CN group. Calcium cracks are crucial for improving outcomes in severely calcified lesions, being key predictors of DoCE.

J Cardiovasc Dev Dis 2024; 11:295. [PMID: 39330353 PMCID: PMC11432693 DOI: 10.3390/jcdd11090295] [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: 08/09/2024] [Revised: 09/17/2024] [Accepted: 09/18/2024] [Indexed: 09/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Chronic total occlusions (CTOs) represent a challenging scenario in coronary artery disease (CAD). The prevalence of CTOS in patients undergoing coronary angiography underscores the need for effective diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Coronary angiography, while essential, offers limited insights into lesion morphology, vessel course, and myocardial viability. In contrast, coronary imaging techniques-including optical coherence tomography (OCT), intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), and coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA)-provide comprehensive insights for each stage of CTO percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). OCT facilitates the assessment of plaque morphology and stent optimization, despite low evidence and several limitations in CTO-PCI. IVUS offers deeper penetration, allowing managing proximal cap scenarios and guiding subintimal navigation. CCTA provides a non-invasive, three-dimensional view of coronary anatomy, enabling the precise evaluation of myocardial mass at risk and detailed procedural planning. Despite their individual limitations, these imaging modalities have enhanced the success rates of CTO-PCI, thus reducing procedural and long-term complications and improving patient outcomes. The future of CTO management lies in further technological advancements, including hybrid imaging, artificial intelligence (AI) integration, and improved fusion imaging. These innovations promise to refine procedural precision and personalize interventions, ultimately improving the care of patients with complex coronary artery disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent observations in silico and in vivo reported that, during proximal optimisation technique, drug-eluting stents (DES) elongate, challenging conventional wisdom. The interaction between plaque morphology and radial expansion is well established, but little is known about the impact of plaque morphology on elongation. AIMS We aimed to assess the longitudinal mechanical behaviour of contemporary DES in vivo and evaluate the relationship between post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) stent elongation and lesion morphology, as assessed with optical coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS Patients treated with OCT-guided PCI to left main or left anterior descending artery bifurcations, between July 2017 and March 2022, from the King's Optical coherence Database Analysis Compendium were included. Patients were excluded if there were overlapping stents, if they had undergone prior PCI, or if there was inadequate image quality. Lesions were characterised as fibrocalcific, fibrous or lipid-rich by pre-PCI OCT. Following stent post-dilatation, stent expansion and final stent length were assessed. The primary outcome was the percentage change in stent length from baseline. RESULTS Of 501 eligible consecutive patients from this period, 116 were included. The median age was 66 years (interquartile range [IQR] 57-76), 31% were female, and 53.4% were treated for an acute coronary syndrome. A total of 50.0% of lesions were classified as fibrocalcific, 6.9% were fibrous, and 43.1% were lipid-rich. The change in relative stent length was 4.4% (IQR 1.0-8.9), with an increase of 3.1% (IQR 0.5-6.3) in fibrocalcific lesions, 3.3% (IQR 0.5-5.9) in fibrous lesions, and 6.4% (IQR 3.1-11.1) in lipid-rich plaque (p=0.006). In multivariate regression modelling, lipid-rich plaque was an independent predictor of stent elongation (odds ratio 3.689, 95% confidence interval: 1.604-8.484). CONCLUSIONS Contemporary DES elongate following implantation and post-dilatation, and this is significantly mediated by plaque morphology. This is an important consideration when planning a strategy for DES implantation.

Lancet 2024; 404:1029-1039. [PMID: 39236729 DOI: 10.1016/s0140-6736(24)01454-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2024] [Revised: 07/11/2024] [Accepted: 07/11/2024] [Indexed: 09/07/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the detailed imaging information provided by optical coherence tomography (OCT) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), clinical benefits of this imaging technique in this setting remain uncertain. The aim of the OCCUPI trial was to compare the clinical benefits of OCT-guided versus angiography-guided PCI for complex lesions, assessed as the rate of major adverse cardiac events at 1 year. METHODS This investigator-initiated, multicentre, randomised, open-label, superiority trial conducted at 20 hospitals in South Korea enrolled patients aged 19-85 years for whom PCI with drug-eluting stents was clinically indicated. After diagnostic angiography, clinical and angiographic findings were assessed to identify patients who met the criterion of having one or more complex lesions. Patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive PCI with OCT guidance (OCT-guidance group) or angiography guidance without OCT (angiography-guidance group). Web-response permuted-block randomisation (mixed blocks of four or six) was used at each participating site to allocate patients. The allocation sequence was computer-generated by an external programmer who was not involved in the rest of the trial. Outcome assessors were masked to group assignment. Patients, follow-up health-care providers, and data analysers were not masked. PCI was done according to conventional standard methods with everolimus-eluting stents. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiac events (a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, or ischaemia-driven target-vessel revascularisation), 1 year after PCI. The primary analysis was done in the intention-to-treat population. The margin used to establish superiority was 1·0 as a hazard ratio. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03625908) and is completed. FINDINGS Between Jan 9, 2019, and Sept 22, 2022, 1604 patients requiring PCI with drug-eluting stents for complex lesions were randomly assigned to receive either OCT-guided PCI (n=803) or angiography-guided PCI (n=801). 1290 (80%) of 1604 patients were male and 314 (20%) were female. The median age of patients at randomisation was 64 years (IQR 57-70). 1588 (99%) patients completed 1-year follow-up. The primary endpoint occurred in 37 (5%) of 803 patients in the OCT-guided PCI group and 59 (7%) of 801 patients in the angiography-guided PCI group (absolute difference -2·8% [95% CI -5·1 to -0·4]; hazard ratio 0·62 [95% CI 0·41 to 0·93]; p=0·023). Rates of stroke, bleeding events, and contrast-induced nephropathy were not significantly different across the two groups. INTERPRETATION Among patients who required drug-eluting stent implantation for complex lesions, OCT guidance resulted in a lower incidence of major adverse cardiac events at 1 year compared with angiography guidance. These findings indicate the existence of a therapeutic benefit of OCT as an intravascular imaging technique for PCI guidance in patients with complex coronary lesions.

Abstract
Intravascular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography are used with increasing frequency for the care of coronary patients and in research studies. These imaging tools can identify culprit lesions in acute coronary syndromes, assess coronary stenosis severity, guide percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and detect vulnerable plaques and patients. However, they have significant limitations that have stimulated the development of multimodality intracoronary imaging catheters, which provide improvements in assessing vessel wall pathology and guiding PCI. Prototypes combining 2 or even 3 imaging probes with complementary attributes have been developed, and several multimodality systems have already been used in patients, with near-infrared spectroscopy intravascular ultrasound-based studies showing promising results for the identification of high-risk plaques. Moreover, postmortem histology studies have documented that hybrid imaging catheters can enable more accurate characterization of plaque morphology than standalone imaging. This review describes the evolution in the field of hybrid intracoronary imaging; presents the available multimodality catheters; and discusses their potential role in PCI guidance, vulnerable plaque detection, and the assessment of endovascular devices and emerging pharmacotherapies targeting atherosclerosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Optical flow ratio (OFR) is a novel computational fractional flow reserve derived from optical coherence tomography (OCT). However, the impact of combining post-stenting morphology (OCT) and physiology (OFR) remains largely unknown. METHODS OCT and OFR were analysed at an independent core laboratory. Target lesion failure (TLF) was defined as the composite of cardiac death, target lesion myocardial infarction, and target lesion revascularisation. Suboptimal stent deployment was identified with at least 1 TLF-related OCT or OFR characteristic. RESULTS A total of 448 patients with acute coronary syndrome (459 vessels) were assessed. Stent expansion < 80%, minimal stent area < 4.5 mm2, stent edge lipid-rich plaque and OFR < 0.90 were independent predictors of TLF (all P < 0.001). Patients with OCT-suboptimal (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 7.88, 95% CI 2.73-22.72,-P < 0.001) or OFR-suboptimal (aHR 5.78, 95% CI 2.54-13.14; P < 0.001) stent deployment showed significantly higher risk of TLF compared with those with optimal stent deployment, with a significant interaction (Pinteraction < 0.001). OCT and OFR both-suboptimal stent deployment was confirmed as an independent predictor of TLF (aHR 9.39, 95% CI 4.25-20.76; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Combined OCT and OFR conferred an optimal reclassification of stent deployment, which may aid in decision making regarding a tailored PCI strategy for optimal stent deployment.

Abstract
An increased total stent length (TSL) might be associated with a higher risk of clinical events; however, in patients with multivessel disease (MVD), a considerable TSL is often required. In patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome and MVD, immediate complete revascularization was associated with shorter TSL in the BIOVASC (Immediate versus staged complete revascularisation in patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome and multivessel coronary disease) Trial. This is a subanalysis of the BIOVASC trial comparing clinical outcomes in patients with either <60 or ≥60 mm TSL. The primary outcome was a composite of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, any unplanned ischemia driven revascularization, or cerebrovascular events at 2 years after the index procedure. A total of 1,525 patients were enrolled in the BIOVASC trial, of whom 855 had a TSL of ≥60 mm (long TSL). No significant difference was established when comparing patients treated with either long or short TSL in terms of the primary outcome at 2-year follow-up, which occurred in 117 patients (13.7%) in the ≥60 mm group and 69 patients (10.3%) in the <60 mm group (adjusted hazard ratio 1.25, 95% confidence interval 0.92 to 1.69, p = 0.16). Furthermore, no significant differences were observed in the secondary end points. In conclusion, in patients with acute coronary syndrome and MVD, long stenting did not show a significant difference in clinical event rate compared with short stenting.

Fully automated quantitative coronary angiography versus optical coherence tomography guidance for coronary stent implantation (FLASH): Study protocol for a randomized controlled noninferiority trial. Am Heart J 2024; 275:86-95. [PMID: 38723880 DOI: 10.1016/j.ahj.2024.05.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2024] [Revised: 05/05/2024] [Accepted: 05/05/2024] [Indexed: 07/01/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Artificial intelligence-based quantitative coronary angiography (AI-QCA) has been developed to provide a more objective and reproducible data about the severity of coronary artery stenosis and the dimensions of the vessel for intervention in real-time, overcoming the limitations of significant inter- and intraobserver variability, and time-consuming nature of on-site QCA, without requiring extra time and effort. Compared with the subjective nature of visually estimated conventional CAG guidance, AI-QCA guidance provides a more practical and standardized angiography-based approach. Although the advantage of intravascular imaging-guided PCI is increasingly recognized, their broader adoption is limited by clinical and economic barriers in many catheterization laboratories. METHODS The FLASH (fully automated quantitative coronary angiography versus optical coherence tomography guidance for coronary stent implantation) trial is a randomized, investigator-initiated, multicenter, open-label, noninferiority trial comparing the AI-QCA-assisted PCI strategy with optical coherence tomography-guided PCI strategy in patients with significant coronary artery disease. All operators will utilize a novel, standardized AI-QCA software and PCI protocol in the AI-QCA-assisted group. A total of 400 patients will be randomized to either group at a 1:1 ratio. The primary endpoint is the minimal stent area (mm2), determined by the final OCT run after completion of PCI. Clinical follow-up and cost-effectiveness evaluations are planned at 1 month and 6 months for all patients enrolled in the study. RESULTS Enrollment of a total of 400 patients from the 13 participating centers in South Korea will be completed in February 2024. Follow-up of the last enrolled patients will be completed in August 2024, and primary results will be available by late 2024. CONCLUSION The FLASH is the first clinical trial to evaluate the feasibility of AI-QCA-assisted PCI, and will provide the clinical evidence on AI-QCA assistance in the field of coronary intervention.

Abstract
In recent years, a wealth of clinical data has emerged regarding intravascular imaging involving either intravascular ultrasound or optical coherence tomography. This surge in data has propelled the adoption of intravascular imaging-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in daily clinical practice. The findings of current randomized clinical trials regarding imaging guidance have lent strong support to the benefits of intravascular imaging-guided PCI. This holds especially true for the diagnosis and treatment of complex lesions, such as left main disease, diffuse long lesions, chronic total occlusion, severely calcified lesions, bifurcations, and in-stent restenosis, as well as in high-risk patients such as those with acute myocardial infarction or chronic kidney disease. During intravascular imaging-guided PCI, operators attempt to achieve stent optimization for maximized benefits of imaging guidance. This paper provides a comprehensive review on the updated clinical data of intravascular imaging-guided PCI and intravascular ultrasound/optical coherence tomography-derived stent optimization criteria.

Current evidence for prognostic benefit of intravascular imaging-guided percutaneous coronary intervention in chronic total occlusion intervention. Korean J Intern Med 2024; 39:702-716. [PMID: 38419334 PMCID: PMC11384243 DOI: 10.3904/kjim.2023.420] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2023] [Accepted: 11/16/2023] [Indexed: 03/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Although percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total occlusion (CTO) has been increasing in recent years, CTO PCI is still one of the most challenging procedures with relatively higher rates of procedural complications and adverse clinical events after PCI. Due to the innate limitations of invasive coronary angiography, intravascular imaging (IVI) has been used as an adjunctive tool to complement PCI, especially in complex coronary artery disease. Considering the complexity of CTO lesions, the role of IVI is particularly important in CTO intervention. IVI has been a useful adjunctive tool in every step of CTO PCI including assisted wire crossing, confirmation of wire location within CTO segment, and stent optimization. The meticulous use of IVI has been one of the greatest contributors to recent progress of CTO PCI. Nevertheless, studies evaluating the role of IVI during CTO PCI are limited. The current review provides a comprehensive overview of the mechanistic advantages of IVI in CTO PCI, summarizes previous studies and trials, and presents future perspective of IVI in CTO PCI.

Can J Cardiol 2024; 40:1619-1631. [PMID: 38360149 DOI: 10.1016/j.cjca.2024.01.040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2023] [Revised: 01/11/2024] [Accepted: 01/19/2024] [Indexed: 02/17/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The risk of side-branch (SB) occlusion is pivotal for decision making of stenting strategies during unprotected left main (LM) bifurcation percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Accordingly, this study aimed to develop a scoring system for predicting SB occlusion during unprotected LM bifurcation PCI. METHODS A total of 855 consecutive patients undergoing unprotected LM bifurcation PCI with provisional strategy at Fuwai Hospital from January 2014 to December 2016 were recruited. A prediction model was selected by means of all-subsets logistic regression, and a multivariable risk score (Left Main Visual Estimation for Risk Prediction of Side Branch Occlusion in Coronary Bifurcation Intervention [LM V-RESOLVE]) was then established with incremental weights attributed to each component variable based on its estimate coefficients. SB occlusion was defined as any decrease in Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow grade or absence of flow in SB after main vessel (MV) stenting. RESULTS SB occlusion occurred in 19 LM bifurcation lesions (2.22%). In multivariable model, 3 variables, including MV/SB diameter ratio, MV plaque ipsilateral to SB, and baseline diameter stenosis of SB, were independent predictors for SB occlusion (model C-statistic 0.829, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.735-0.923, with good calibration). The risk score had a C-statistics of 0.830 (95% CI 0.738-0.923) with good calibration. Satisfactory discriminative ability of the risk score was also preserved in external validation (C-statistic 0.794, 95% CI 0.691-0.896). CONCLUSIONS The LM bifurcation-specific novel scoring system, LM V-RESOLVE, based on 3 simple baseline angiographic findings, could help to rapidly discriminate lesions at risk of SB occlusion during LM bifurcation PCI.

Intravascular Ultrasound Use is Associated with Improved Patency in Lower Extremity Peripheral Arterial Interventions. Ann Vasc Surg 2024; 106:410-418. [PMID: 38810722 DOI: 10.1016/j.avsg.2024.03.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2023] [Revised: 03/04/2024] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) facilitates detailed visualization of endoluminal anatomy not adequately appreciated on conventional angiography. However, it is unclear if IVUS use improves clinical outcomes of peripheral vascular interventions (PVIs) for peripheral arterial disease. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of IVUS on 1-year outcomes of PVI in the vascular quality initiative (VQI). METHODS The VQI-PVI modules were reviewed (2016-2020). All patients with available 1-year follow-up after lower extremity PVI were included and grouped as IVUS-PVI or non-IVUS PVI based on use of IVUS. Propensity matching (1:1) was performed using demographics and comorbidities. One-year major amputation and patency rates were compared. A generalized estimating equation model was used to identify predictors of 1-year outcomes. Subgroup analysis based on Trans-Atlantic Intersociety Consensus (TASC) classification, treatment length and treatment modalities were performed using same modeling approaches. RESULTS There were 56,633 procedures (non-IVUS PVI = 55,302 vs. IVUS-PVI = 1,331) in 44,042 patients. Propensity matching yielded a total cohort of 1,854 patients matched (1:1), with no baseline differences. Lower extremity revascularization for claudication was performed in 60.4%, while one-third (33.9%) had chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI). IVUS was more commonly used for lesions >15 cm in length (46.6% vs. 43.3%) and for aortoiliac disease (31.8% vs. 27.2%). Rates of atherectomy and stenting were significantly higher with IVUS-PVI (21.1% vs. 16.8%), while balloon angioplasty was less common (13.5% vs. 24.4%). One-year patency was better with IVUS-PVI (97.7% vs. 95.2%, P = 0.004). On subgroup analysis, IVUS (odds ratio [OR] 2.20, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.29-3.75) was associated with improved patency in CLTI patients, TASC C or D lesions, and treatment length >15 cm. Adjunctive IVUS use during PVI did not significantly impact 1-year amputation (OR 1.7, 95% CI 0.78-3.91). On multivariable regression, adjunctive use of IVUS (OR 2.46 95% CI 1.43-4.25) and aortoiliac interventions (OR 2.91, 95% CI 1.09-7.75) were independent predictors of patency. Treatment modalities such as atherectomy, stenting or balloon angioplasty did not significantly impact patency at 1-year. CONCLUSIONS IVUS during lower extremity PVI is associated with improved 1-year patency, when compared to angiography alone. Certain subgroups, such as CLTI patients, lesions>15 cm, and TASC C or D lesions might benefit from adjunctive use of IVUS.

Optical coherence tomography predictors of clinical outcomes after stent implantation: the ILUMIEN IV trial. Eur Heart J 2024:ehae521.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Observational registries have suggested that optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging-derived parameters may predict adverse events after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation. The present analysis sought to determine the OCT predictors of clinical outcomes from the large-scale ILUMIEN IV trial. METHODS ILUMIEN IV was a prospective, single-blind trial of 2487 patients with diabetes or high-risk lesions randomized to OCT-guided versus angiography-guided DES implantation. All patients underwent final OCT imaging (blinded in the angiography-guided arm). From more than 20 candidates, the independent OCT predictors of 2-year target lesion failure (TLF; the primary endpoint), cardiac death or target-vessel myocardial infarction (TV-MI), ischaemia-driven target lesion revascularization (ID-TLR), and stent thrombosis were analysed by multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression in single treated lesions. RESULTS A total of 2128 patients had a single treated lesion with core laboratory-analysed final OCT. The 2-year Kaplan-Meier rates of TLF, cardiac death or TV-MI, ID-TLR, and stent thrombosis were 6.3% (n = 130), 3.3% (n = 68), 4.3% (n = 87), and 0.9% (n = 18), respectively. The independent predictors of 2-year TLF were a smaller minimal stent area (per 1 mm2 increase: hazard ratio 0.76, 95% confidence interval 0.68-0.89, P < .0001) and proximal edge dissection (hazard ratio 1.77, 95% confidence interval 1.20-2.62, P = .004). The independent predictors of cardiac death or TV-MI were smaller minimal stent area and longer stent length; of ID-TLR were smaller intra-stent flow area and proximal edge dissection; and of stent thrombosis was smaller minimal stent expansion. CONCLUSIONS In the ILUMIEN IV trial, the most important OCT-derived post-DES predictors of both safety and effectiveness outcomes were parameters related to stent area, expansion and flow, proximal edge dissection, and stent length.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary bifurcation lesions (CBL) comprise 15 %-20 % of percutaneous coronary procedures and remain a challenge despite advances in stent and interventional techniques. The BioMime™ Branch sirolimus-eluting coronary side-branch stent (BBSES) is specifically designed for CBL treatment in conjunction with a standard drug-eluting stent (DES). We report the first single-center experience of treating complex CBL with the novel BBSES. METHODS This is a retrospective, single-center study involving consecutive prospectively identified patients who underwent treatment of true CBL with the BBSES. The protocol included BBSES+DES implantation in the CBL and simultaneous final kissing balloon inflation. RESULTS Fifty-eight CBL were treated in 58 consecutive patients (89.6 % men, mean age 69.0 ± 9.5 years) presenting primarily with stable angina (84.4 %) and true (Medina 1,1,1,) CBL. Procedural success was 100 % without major adverse cardiac events (MACE). At a median follow-up of 18 months, one sudden death was reported that was accounted as possible late stent thrombosis. One patient had spontaneous myocardial infarction due to subacute thrombosis of a DES implanted in the main vessel proximally to the BBSES before the index procedure. Another patient was hospitalized for atrial fibrillation. CONCLUSIONS This is the first clinical experience to date of true CBL treatment with the BBSES demonstrating high procedural success, no in-hospital MACE and sustained clinical results at a median follow-up of 18 months.

Abstract
Left main (LM) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has expanded rapidly in the past decade, with up to fourfold increase annually. Recent trials found that intravascular imaging (IVI)-guided LM PCI resulted in lower risks of cardiac death and stent failure due to suboptimal PCI compared to angiography-guided PCI. IVI usage has increased in recent years; however, its utilization remains variable across regions and is still incredibly low in developing countries. Furthermore, to date, there is no data about LM size in the Southeast Asian population. This study aims to determine the mean external elastic membrane (EEM) diameter, cross-sectional area (CSA) of LM, and its predictor. This is a cross-sectional observational study on 100 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) who underwent IVUS-guided PCI with a pullback to LM in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung, Indonesia, from January 2020 until December 2022. Linear regression was used to determine the predictors of LM size. There were 100 segments of LM. LM's mean EEM diameter and CSA were 5.02 ± 0.43 mm and 19.93 ± 3.48 mm2. Body surface area (BSA) is an independent predictor of EEM diameter and CSA with a positive linear relationship (p 0.001 and p 0.0001). Hypertension is an independent predictor of EEM diameter with a positive linear relationship (p 0.034). The linear equation to predict EEM diameter and CSA were (2.741 + 1.272BSA(m2) + 0.165 hypertension (yes)) and (2.745 + 9.601BSA(m2)), respectively. The LM coronary artery size of the Southeast Asian population was comparable with the previous studies. BSA and hypertension are independent predictors of EEM diameter, with BSA being stronger than hypertension. Neither sex nor other cardiovascular risk factors affect the LM size. The knowledge of coronary artery size will help the clinician have a reference for intervention, especially when no intravascular imaging is available.

Abstract
BACKGROUND One of the downsides of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is stent failure which could be related to stent underexpansion. Hence, PCI based on an accurate coronary artery size obtained from intracoronary imaging is tremendously important. Until now, there is no data about all coronary artery dimensions in the Southeast Asian population performed by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). The coronary artery size of 153 patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) in acute or chronic settings who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with IVUS was examined. The mean artery size and its predictors were analyzed. RESULTS There were 153 patients with 633 coronary artery segments: the mean left main (LM) external elastic membrane (EEM) diameter and cross-sectional area (CSA) were 5.02 ± 0.43 mm and 19.93 ± 3.48 mm2, proximal left anterior descending artery (LAD) 4.25 ± 0.42 mm and 14.34 ± 2.85 mm2, the mid-LAD 3.86 ± 0.39 mm and 11.70 ± 2.24 mm2, the distal LAD 3.32 (2.83-4.30) mm and 8.77(6.23-14.99) mm2, the proximal left circumflex artery (LCX) 3.91 ± 0.42 mm and 12.07 ± 2.53 mm2, the distal LCX 3.51 ± 0.47 mm and 9.90 (5.09-14.20) mm2, the proximal right coronary artery (RCA) 4.50 ± 0.48 mm and 16.14 ± 3.43 mm2, the mid-RCA 4.16 ± 0.420 mm and 13.74 ± 2.72 mm2, the distal RCA 3.81 ± 0.41 mm and 11.59 ± 2.46 mm2, respectively. Body surface area (BSA) is an independent predictor for the majority of epicardial coronary arteries with a positive linear relationship. CONCLUSIONS The mean artery size of the Indonesian population was comparable with previous studies. The knowledge of coronary artery size will help the clinician to have a reference for intervention, especially when no intravascular imaging is available.

Clinical Impact of Intracoronary Imaging in the Management of Stent Thrombosis. J Clin Med 2024; 13:4667.

Abstract
Objectives: Use of intracoronary imaging (ICI) in cases of stent thrombosis (ST) is recommended and tailored treatment appears reasonable. Nevertheless, data supporting such a strategy are lacking. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical impact of ICI in the management of ST. Methods: The unadjusted study population was consecutive patients with definite ST presenting in a single tertiary cardiac centre and undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The presumed major mechanism of ST was assigned according to the real-time ICI interpretation by the PCI operator. Propensity score matching was performed with regard to ICI use to form the adjusted population and Kaplan-Meier analysis was applied to compare survival free of cardiac death (CD) or target lesion revascularization (TLR). Results: The unadjusted population included 130 ST patients, with the majority presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) (88%) and very late ST (86%). ICI was performed in 45 patients, of whom optical coherence tomography (OCT) was performed in 30 cases. When the individual ST mechanisms were viewed as groups, there was an interaction observed between type of treatment (stent vs. non-stent) and ST mechanism, with non-stent treatment being more prevalent in cases of underexpansion, malapposition, in-stent restenosis and mechanism uncertainty. After application of matching, two groups of 30 patients were formed. ICI-guided management resulted in better survival free of CD-TLR at 2 years (93% vs. 73%, p = 0.037). Conclusions: Intracoronary imaging guidance during PCI for ST had a direct impact on management (stent vs. non-stent) and resulted in a lower event rate at mid-term follow-up when propensity matched analysis was applied.

Five-year follow-up of OCT-guided percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. EUROINTERVENTION 2024; 20:e937-e947.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Compared with intravascular ultrasound guidance, there is limited evidence for optical coherence tomography (OCT) guidance during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. AIMS We investigated the role of OCT in guiding a reperfusion strategy and improving the long-term prognosis of STEMI patients. METHODS All patients who were diagnosed with STEMI and who underwent pPCI between January 2017 and December 2020 were enrolled and divided into OCT-guided versus angiography-guided cohorts. They had routine follow-up for up to 5 years or until the time of the last known contact. All-cause death and cardiovascular death were designated as the primary and secondary endpoints, respectively. RESULTS A total of 3,897 patients were enrolled: 2,696 (69.2%) with OCT guidance and 1,201 (30.8%) with angiographic guidance. Patients in the OCT-guided cohort were less often treated with stenting during pPCI (62.6% vs 80.2%; p<0.001). The 5-year cumulative rates of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality in the OCT-guided cohort were 10.4% and 8.0%, respectively, significantly lower than in the angiography-guided cohort (19.0% and 14.1%; both log-rank p<0.001). All 4 multivariate models showed that OCT guidance could significantly reduce 5-year all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR] in model 4: 0.689, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.551-0.862) and cardiovascular mortality (HR in model 4: 0.692, 95% CI: 0.536-0.895). After propensity score matching, the benefits of OCT guidance were consistent in terms of all-cause mortality (HR: 0.707, 95% CI: 0.548-0.913) and cardiovascular mortality (HR: 0.709, 95% CI: 0.526-0.955). CONCLUSIONS Compared with angiography alone, OCT guidance may change reperfusion strategies and lead to better long-term survival in STEMI patients undergoing pPCI. Findings in the current observational study should be further corroborated in randomised trials.

Abstract
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is still burdened by a substantial number of complications despite constant technological advances, including the advent of intracoronary imaging (ICI) techniques. ICI modalities have been instrumental for the understanding the mechanism of PCI failure. Thanks to the ability to detail the pre-intervention coronary anatomy and identify the features indicative of sub-optimal stent deployment, ICI techniques can be utilised to improve coronary interventions in different clinical scenarios. More recently large randomized clinical trials on ICI guidance confirmed the clinical effectiveness of this approach especially in complex high-risk interventions.

Prospective investigation of calcium score in optical coherence tomography-guided revascularization to identify lesions with low risk for stent under expansion: the CORAL study. Cardiovasc Interv Ther 2024:10.1007/s12928-024-01028-y. [PMID: 39020108 DOI: 10.1007/s12928-024-01028-y] [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: 05/11/2024] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/19/2024]
Abstract
The optical coherence tomography (OCT)-based calcium scoring system was developed to guide optimal lesion preparation strategies for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of calcified lesions. However, the score was derived retrospectively, and a prospective investigation is lacking. The CORAL (UMIN000053266) study was a single-arm, prospective, multicenter study that included patients with calcified lesions with OCT-calcium score of 1-2 to investigate whether these lesions could be optimally treated with a balloon-only preparation strategy using a non-compliant/scoring/cutting balloon. The primary endpoint was strategy success (successful stent placement with a final percent diameter stenosis [%DS] < 20% and Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction flow grade III without crossover to rotational atherectomy/orbital atherectomy/intravascular lithotripsy [RA/OA/IVL]). A superiority analysis for the primary endpoint was performed by comparing the study cohort with a performance goal of 83.3%. One hundred and eighteen patients with 130 lesions were enrolled. The mean age was 79.0 ± 10.3 years, and 79 patients (66.9%) were male. The OCT-calcium score was 1 for 81 lesions (62.3%) and 2 for 49 lesions (37.7%). The %DS improved from 47.0 ± 14.8% preprocedure to 11.1 ± 5.6% postprocedure. Stent expansion ≥ 70% was achieved in 90.2%. The strategy success rate was 93.1% (95% confidence interval: 87.3-96.8), and superiority against the performance goal was achieved without any crossover to RA/OA/IVL (P = 0.0027). The OCT-calcium score could identify mild/moderately calcified lesions treatable by PCI with the balloon-first strategy using a non-compliant/scoring/cutting balloon for predilatation, with a high strategy success rate. These results support the intravascular imaging-based treatment algorithm for calcified lesions proposed by CVIT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Functional assessment using fractional flow reserve (FFR) and anatomical assessment using optical coherence tomography (OCT) are used in clinical practice for patients with intermediate coronary stenosis. Moreover, coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) is a common noninvasive imaging technique for evaluating suspected coronary artery disease before being referred for angiography. This study aimed to investigate the association between FFR and plaque characteristics assessed using coronary CTA and OCT for intermediate coronary stenosis. METHODS Based on a prospective multicenter registry, 159 patients having 339 coronary lesions with intermediate stenosis were included. All patients underwent coronary CTA before being referred for coronary angiography, and both FFR measurements and OCT examinations were performed during angiography. A stenotic lesion identified with FFR ≤0.80 was deemed diagnostic of an ischemia-causing lesion. The predictive value of plaque characteristics assessed using coronary CTA and OCT for identifying lesions causing ischemia was analyzed. RESULTS Stenosis severity and plaque characteristics on coronary CTA and OCT differed between lesions that caused ischemia and those that did not. In multivariate analysis, low attenuation plaque on coronary CTA (odds ratio [OR]=2.78; P=0.038), thrombus (OR=5.13; P=0.042), plaque rupture (OR=3.25; P=0.017), and intimal vasculature on OCT (OR=2.57; P=0.012) were independent predictors of ischemic lesions. Increasing the number of these plaque characteristics offered incremental improvement in predicting the lesions causing ischemia. CONCLUSIONS Comprehensive anatomical evaluation of coronary stenosis may provide additional supportive information for predicting the lesions causing ischemia.

Correcting common OCT artifacts enhances plaque classification and identification of higher-risk plaque features. CARDIOVASCULAR REVASCULARIZATION MEDICINE 2024:S1553-8389(24)00563-3. [PMID: 38971662 DOI: 10.1016/j.carrev.2024.06.023] [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: 05/02/2024] [Revised: 06/19/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/08/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is used widely to guide stent placement, identify higher-risk plaques, and assess mechanisms of drug efficacy. However, a range of common artifacts can prevent accurate plaque classification and measurements, and limit usable frames in research studies. We determined whether pre-processing OCT images corrects artifacts and improves plaque classification. METHODS We examined both ex-vivo and clinical trial OCT pullbacks for artifacts that prevented accurate tissue identification and/or plaque measurements. We developed Fourier transform-based software that reconstructed images free of common OCT artifacts, and compared corrected and uncorrected images. RESULTS 48 % of OCT frames contained image artifacts, with 62 % of artifacts over or within lesions, preventing accurate measurement in 12 % frames. Pre-processing corrected >70 % of all artifacts, including thrombus, macrophage shadows, inadequate flushing, and gas bubbles. True tissue reconstruction was achieved in 63 % frames that would otherwise prevent accurate clinical measurements. Artifact correction was non-destructive and retained anatomical lumen and plaque parameters. Correction improved accuracy of plaque classification compared against histology and retained accurate assessment of higher-risk features. Correction also changed plaque classification and prevented artifact-related measurement errors in a clinical study, and reduced unmeasurable frames to <5 % ex-vivo and ~1 % in-vivo. CONCLUSIONS Fourier transform-based pre-processing corrects a wide range of common OCT artifacts, improving identification of higher-risk features and plaque classification, and allowing more of the whole dataset to be used for clinical decision-making and in research. Pre-processing can augment OCT image analysis systems both for stent optimization and in natural history or drug studies.

Abstract
Calcific coronary artery stenosis is a complex disease associated with adverse outcomes and suboptimal percutaneous treatment. Calcium plaque modification has emerged as a key strategy to tackle the issues that accompany calcific stenosis - namely reduced device deliverability, unpredictable lesion characteristics, and difficult dilatation. Atherectomy has traditionally been the treatment modality of choice for heavily calcified coronary stenoses. Contemporary technologies have emerged to aid with planning, preparation, and treatment of calcified coronary stenosis in an attempt to improve procedural success and long-term outcomes. In this State Of The Art Review, we synthesize the body of data surrounding the diagnosis, imaging, and treatment of calcific coronary disease, with a focus on i) intravascular imaging, ii) calcific lesion preparation, iii) treatment modalities including atherectomy, and iv) updated treatment algorithms for the management of calcified coronary stenosis.

Abstract
Imaging modalities for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), such as intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) or optical coherence tomography (OCT), have increased in the current PCI era. However, their clinical benefits in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have not been fully elucidated. This study investigated the long-term outcomes of image-guided PCI in patients with AMI using data from the Korean Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry. A total of 9,271 patients with AMI, who underwent PCI with second-generation drug-eluting stents between November 2011 and December 2015, were retrospectively examined, and target lesion failure (TLF) at 3 years (defined as the composite of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, and ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization) was evaluated. From the registry, 2,134 patients (23.0%) underwent image-guided PCI (IVUS-guided: n = 1,919 [20.6%]; OCT-guided: n = 215 patients [2.3%]). Based on propensity score matching, image-guided PCI was associated with a significant reduction in TLF (hazard ratio: 0.76; 95% confidence interval: 0.59-0.98, p = 0.035). In addition, the TLF incidence in the OCT-guided PCI group was comparable to that in the IVUS-guided PCI group (5.3% vs 4.7%, p = 0.903). Image-guided PCI, including IVUS and OCT, is associated with favorable clinical outcomes in patients with AMI at 3 years post-intervention. Additionally, OCT-guided PCI is not inferior to IVUS-guided PCI in patients with AMI.

Intravascular Imaging and Angiography Guidance in Complex Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Among Patients With Diabetes: A Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Clinical Trial. JAMA Netw Open 2024; 7:e2417613. [PMID: 38913377 PMCID: PMC11197449 DOI: 10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2024.17613] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2024] [Accepted: 04/18/2024] [Indexed: 06/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Importance Data are limited regarding the effects of intravascular imaging guidance during complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with diabetes. Objective To compare the clinical outcomes of intravascular imaging-guided vs angiography-guided complex PCI in patients with or without diabetes. Design, Setting, and Participants This prespecified secondary analysis of a subgroup of patients in RENOVATE-COMPLEX-PCI (Randomized Controlled Trial of Intravascular Imaging Guidance Versus Angiography-Guidance on Clinical Outcomes After Complex Percutaneous Coronary Intervention), an investigator-initiated, open-label multicenter trial, analyzed enrolled patients who underwent complex PCI at 20 sites in Korea from May 2018 through May 2021. Eligible patients were randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to undergo either the intravascular imaging-guided PCI or angiography-guided PCI. Data analyses were performed from June 2023 to April 2024. Interventions Percutaneous coronary intervention was performed either under the guidance of intravascular imaging or angiography alone. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary end point was target vessel failure (TVF), defined as a composite of cardiac death, target vessel-related myocardial infarction, or target vessel revascularization. Results Among the 1639 patients included in the analysis (mean [SD] age, 65.6 [10.2] years; 1300 males [79.3%]), 617 (37.6%) had diabetes. The incidence of TVF was significantly higher in patients with diabetes than patients without diabetes (hazard ratio [HR], 1.86; 95% CI, 1.33-2.60; P < .001). Among patients without diabetes, the intravascular imaging-guided PCI group had a significantly lower incidence of TVF compared with the angiography-guided PCI group (4.7% vs 12.2%; HR, 0.41 [95% CI, 0.25-0.67]; P < .001). Conversely, in patients with diabetes, the risk of TVF was not significantly different between the 2 groups (12.9% vs 12.3%; HR, 0.97 [95% CI, 0.60-1.57]; P = .90). There was a significant interaction between the use of intravascular imaging and diabetes for the risk of TVF (P for interaction = .02). Among patients with diabetes, only those with good glycemic control (hemoglobin A1c level ≤7.5%) and who achieved stent optimization by intravascular imaging showed a lower risk of future ischemic events (HR, 0.31; 95% CI, 0.12-0.82; P = .02). Conclusions and Relevance In this secondary analysis of a subgroup of patients in the RENOVATE-COMPLEX-PCI trial, intravascular imaging guidance reduced the risk of TVF compared with angiography guidance in patients without diabetes (but not in patients with diabetes) during complex PCI. In patients with diabetes undergoing complex PCI, attention should be paid to stent optimization using intravascular imaging and glycemic control to improve outcomes.

Abstract
Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) often result from the rupture or erosion of high-risk coronary atherosclerotic plaques (ie, vulnerable plaques). Advances in intracoronary imaging such as intravascular ultrasound, optical coherence tomography, or near-infrared spectroscopy have improved the identification of vulnerable plaques, characterized by large plaque burden, small minimal luminal area, thin fibrous cap, and large lipid content. Although pharmacology, including lipid-lowering agents, and intensive risk-factor control are pivotal for management of vulnerable plaques and secondary prevention, recurrent events tend to accrue despite intensive pharmacotherapy. Therefore, it has been hypothesized that local preventive percutaneous coronary intervention may passivate these vulnerable plaques, preventing the occurrence of plaque-related ACS. However, solid evidence is lacking on its use for treatment of non-flow-limiting vulnerable plaques. As such, the optimal management of vulnerable plaques has not been established. Herein, we have reviewed the diagnosis and management of vulnerable plaques, focusing on systematic pharmacology and focal treatments.

Intravascular Imaging in the Diagnosis and Management of Patients With Suspected Intracoronary Pathologies: A CJC White Paper. Can J Cardiol 2024:S0828-282X(24)00412-4.

Abstract
Intravascular imaging has become an integral part of the diagnostic and management strategies for intracoronary pathologies. In this White Paper we summarize current evidence and its implications on the use of intravascular imaging in interventional cardiology practice. The areas addressed are planning and optimization of percutaneous coronary intervention, management of stent failure, and evaluation of ambiguous coronary lesions and myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary disease. The findings presented followed the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) system in an expert consensus process that involved a diverse writing group vetted by a review group. Expert consensus was achieved around 9 statements. Use of intravascular imaging in guiding percutaneous revascularization is supported by high-quality evidence, particularly for lesions with increased risk of recurrent events or stent failure. Specific considerations for intravascular imaging guidance of intervention in left main lesions, chronic occlusion lesions, and in patients at high risk of contrast nephropathy are explored. Use of intravascular imaging to identify pathologies associated with stent failure and guide repeat intervention, resolve ambiguities in lesion assessment, and establish diagnoses in patients who present with myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary disease is supported by moderate- to low-quality evidence. Each topic is accompanied by clinical pointers to aid the practicing interventional cardiologist in implementation of the White Paper findings. The findings presented in this White Paper will help to guide the use of intravascular imaging toward situations in which the balance of efficacy, safety, and cost are most optimal.

Abstract
Periprocedural myocardial infarction (PMI) and injury, pertinent to both cardiac and non-cardiac procedures, have gained increasing recognition in clinical practice. Over time, diverse definitions for diagnosing PMI have been developed and validated among patient populations undergoing coronary revascularization. However, this variety in definitions presents considerable challenges in clinical settings and complicates both the design and interpretation of clinical trials. The necessity to accurately diagnose PMI has spurred significant interest in establishing universally accepted and prognostically meaningful thresholds for cardiac biomarkers elevation and supportive ancillary criteria. In fact, elevations in cardiac biomarkers in line with the 4th Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction, have been extensively confirmed to be associated with increased mortality and cardiovascular events. In the context of non-coronary cardiac procedures, such as Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation, there is a growing acknowledgment of both the high incidence rates and the adverse impact of PMI on patient outcomes. Similarly, emerging research underscores the significance of PMI and injury in non-cardiac surgery, highlighting the urgent need for effective prevention and risk management strategies in this domain.

Impact of Intravascular Imaging-Guided Stent Optimization According to Clinical Presentation in Patients Undergoing Complex PCI. JACC Cardiovasc Interv 2024; 17:1231-1243.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is unclear whether the beneficial effects of intravascular imaging-guided stent optimization vary by clinical presentation during complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). OBJECTIVES In this prespecified, stratified subgroup analysis from RENOVATE-COMPLEX-PCI (Randomized Controlled Trial of Intravascular Imaging Guidance versus Angiography-Guidance on Clinical Outcomes After Complex PCI), we sought to compare the outcomes between intravascular imaging vs angiography guidance according to clinical presentation. METHODS Patients with complex coronary artery lesions were randomly assigned to undergo either intravascular imaging-guided PCI or angiography-guided PCI in a 2:1 ratio. The primary endpoint was target vessel failure (TVF), which is a composite of cardiac death, target vessel-related myocardial infarction, or clinically driven target vessel revascularization. RESULTS Of 1,639 patients, 832 (50.8%) presented with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and 807 (49.2%) with chronic coronary syndrome. During a median follow-up of 2.1 years (Q1-Q3: 1.4-3.0 years), there was no significant interaction between the treatment effect of intravascular imaging and clinical presentation (P for interaction = 0.19). Among patients with ACS, the incidences of TVF were 10.4% in the intravascular imaging group and 14.6% in the angiography group (HR: 0.74; 95% CI: 0.48-1.15; P = 0.18). Among patients with CCS, the incidences of TVF were 5.0% in the intravascular imaging group and 10.4% in the angiography group (HR: 0.46; 95% CI: 0.27-0.80; P = 0.006). Achieving stent optimization by intravascular imaging resulted in a reduced risk of TVF among patients with ACS who were randomly assigned to intravascular imaging-guided PCI for complex coronary lesions (optimized vs unoptimized, 6.5% vs 14.1%; HR: 0.49; 95% CI: 0.27-0.87; P = 0.02) but not those with CCS (5.4% vs 4.7%, HR: 1.18; 95% CI: 0.53-2.59; P = 0.69). CONCLUSIONS No significant interaction was observed between the benefits of intravascular imaging and clinical presentation in the risk of TVF. Stent optimization by intravascular imaging was particularly important for ACS patients.

Abstract
Objective Treatment of complex aortic aneurysms with the in situ laser fenestration (ISLF) technique involves implantation of a balloon expandable stent graft (bSG) in the created fenestration. Adequate expansion of this bSG is of importance both to achieve seal and to ensure target vessel stability. This experimental study assessed the expansion rate of different bSGs in the ISLF setting using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). Methods A commercially available aortic endograft was used to test the laser fenestration technique (Zenith Alpha, Cook Medical LLC, Bloomington, IN, USA). The ISLF was stented with the following bSGs: two Gore Viabahn VBX balloon expandable endoprostheses (WL Gore & Associates, Bloomington, IL, USA), three BeGraft Peripheral and three BeGraft Plus (Bentley InnoMed GmbH; Hechingen, Germany), and three Advanta V12 (Atrium, Hudson, NH, USA). The bSGs were expanded in three steps: (1) nominal, (2) rated burst pressure, and (3) dilation with a non-compliant balloon at 15 atmospheres. After each step, an IVUS assessment of the bSG minimum diameter and the area at the fenestration (FA) and in a fully expanded segment distal to the fenestration (SA) was performed. A mean of the three IVUS measurements was used as the value for comparison. An insufficient bSG expansion was defined as a mean of FA/SA of <0.8 (i.e., <80% expansion). Results The VBX was the only bSG that could be expanded to its intended diameter (i.e., at least 80%) at nominal pressure. The BeGraft Peripheral and BeGraft Plus had the lowest degree of expansion after nominal and rated burst pressure. All bSGs that were tested reached a sufficient expansion degree after using a higher pressure balloon. Conclusion In this ex vivo experiment, dilation up to nominal pressure showed satisfactory expansion only for the VBX. The consistency of the results when applied to the different types of stent grafts that were analysed reflects structural stent graft specific issues to consider when choosing the right device in cases of ISLF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous reports have suggested that coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA)-based radiomics analysis is a potentially helpful tool for assessing vulnerable plaques. We aimed to investigate whether coronary radiomic analysis of CCTA images could identify vulnerable plaques in patients with stable angina pectoris. METHODS This retrospective study included patients initially diagnosed with stable angina pectoris. Patients were randomly divided into either the training or test dataset at an 8 : 2 ratio. Radiomics features were extracted from CCTA images. Radiomics models for predicting vulnerable plaques were developed using the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm. The model performance was assessed using the area under the curve (AUC); the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were calculated to compare the diagnostic performance using the two cohorts. RESULTS A total of 158 patients were included in the analysis. The SVM radiomics model performed well in predicting vulnerable plaques, with AUC values of 0.977 and 0.875 for the training and test cohorts, respectively. With optimal cutoff values, the radiomics model showed accuracies of 0.91 and 0.882 in the training and test cohorts, respectively. CONCLUSION Although further larger population studies are necessary, this novel CCTA radiomics model may identify vulnerable plaques in patients with stable angina pectoris.

Abstract
Background Concerns regarding restenosis after treatment with drug-coated balloons (DCB) remain. We aimed to identify the incidence of target lesion revascularization (TLR) and explore clinical, procedural, and other factors influencing it. Methods Single-center retrospective analysis of a prospective cohort PCI registry study included 80 patients (100 lesions) who underwent successful DCB angioplasty between January 2020 and October 2023 and follow-up angiography within 2 years of either planned or unplanned reason. Incidence and factors associated with TLR were analyzed. Results Angiographic evaluation was conducted within a median of 151 days (interquartile range: 109 days). During index procedure, 54% were complex lesions. Intravascular imaging (IVI) was performed in 80% of lesions. TLR occurred in 11% of the lesions and was less frequent in the IVI group compared to the angiography-alone group [6.3 vs. 54.5%; odds ratio: 0.156, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.042-0.580; p = 0.002]. No association was found between baseline and lesion characteristics, lesion complexity, plaque morphology, pre-dilatation procedure balloon type, maximal inflation pressure, or length of DCB between the groups (p > 0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that IVI utilization was independently associated with a lower TLR rate (adjusted odds ratio: 0.116, 95% CI: 0.020-0.669; p = 0.016). Conclusion In DCB angioplasty, only IVI use exhibited a significant difference in the TLR rate among baseline lesion characteristics and lesion preparation and was independently associated with a lower TLR rate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Late lumen enlargement (LLE) - a positive remodelling phenomenon - after drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty for stable coronary disease contributes to a lower restenosis rate. However, lesion characteristics promoting LLE remain unclear. AIMS This study aimed to investigate predictive lesion characteristics for LLE using serial optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI) following DCB angioplasty for de novo coronary artery lesions. METHODS This retrospective, single-centre observational study included patients with angina pectoris who underwent paclitaxel-coated balloon angioplasty without stenting under OFDI guidance as well as follow-up OFDI. OFDI endpoints were lumen volume, plaque phenotype, and procedure-associated dissection. LLE was defined as a ≥10% increase in the lumen volume of the treated lesion at follow-up. RESULTS Between August 2016 and December 2019, among patients with successful DCB angioplasty, 108 lesions (83 patients) had available follow-up imaging after a median of 6.1 months. LLE was detected in 44 (40.7%) lesions. Fibrous/fibrocalcific and layered plaques had significantly larger lumen volumes at follow-up than immediately after the index procedure, whereas lipid plaques exhibited no significant difference. Medial dissection with an arc >90° revealed an increased lumen volume. Multivariate analysis showed that layered plaques (odds ratio [OR] 8.73, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.92-39.7; p=0.005) and medial dissection with an arc >90° (OR 4.65, 95% CI: 1.63-13.3; p=0.004) were independent LLE predictors. CONCLUSIONS Layered plaques and extensive medial dissection after DCB angioplasty were associated with higher LLE occurrence in de novo coronary lesions. These findings may be clinically applicable to DCB therapeutic strategies based on plaque features.

Intravascular Imaging-Guided Optimization of Complex Percutaneous Coronary Intervention by Sex: A Subgroup Analysis of the RENOVATE-COMPLEX-PCI Trial. JAMA Cardiol 2024; 9:466-474. [PMID: 38568686 PMCID: PMC10993152 DOI: 10.1001/jamacardio.2024.0291] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2023] [Accepted: 02/02/2024] [Indexed: 04/06/2024]
Abstract
Importance There have been heterogeneous results related to sex differences in prognosis after percutaneous coronary artery intervention (PCI) for complex coronary artery lesions. Objective To evaluate potential differences in outcomes with intravascular imaging-guided PCI of complex coronary artery lesions between women and men. Design, Setting, and Participants This prespecified substudy evaluates the interaction of sex in the investigator-initiated, open-label, multicenter RENOVATE-COMPLEX-PCI randomized clinical trial, which demonstrated the superiority of intravascular imaging-guided PCI compared with angiography-guided PCI in patients with complex coronary artery lesions. The trial was conducted at 20 sites in Korea. Patients with complex coronary artery lesions undergoing PCI were enrolled between May 2018 and May 2021, and the median (IQR) follow-up period was 2.1 (1.4-3.0) years. Data were analyzed from December 2022 to December 2023. Interventions After diagnostic coronary angiography, eligible patients were randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to receive intravascular imaging-guided PCI or angiography-guided PCI. The choice and timing of the intravascular imaging device were left to the operators' discretion. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary end point was target vessel failure, defined as a composite of cardiac death, target vessel-related myocardial infarction, or clinically driven target vessel revascularization. Secondary end points included individual components of the primary end point. Results Of 1639 included patients, 339 (20.7%) were women, and the mean (SD) age was 65.6 (10.2) years. There was no difference in the risk of the primary end point between women and men (9.4% vs 8.3%; adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 1.39; 95% CI, 0.89-2.18; P = .15). Intravascular imaging-guided PCI tended to have lower incidence of the primary end point than angiography-guided PCI in both women (5.2% vs 14.5%; adjusted HR, 0.34; 95% CI, 0.15-0.78; P = .01) and men (8.3% vs 11.7%; adjusted HR, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.49-1.05; P = .09) without significant interaction (P for interaction = .86). Conclusions and Relevance In patients undergoing complex PCI, compared with angiographic guidance, intravascular imaging guidance was associated with similar reduction in the risk of target vessel failure among women and men. The treatment benefit of intravascular imaging-guided PCI showed no significant interaction between treatment strategy and sex. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03381872.

Quantitative Coronary Angiography vs Intravascular Ultrasonography to Guide Drug-Eluting Stent Implantation: A Randomized Clinical Trial. JAMA Cardiol 2024; 9:428-435. [PMID: 38477913 PMCID: PMC10938248 DOI: 10.1001/jamacardio.2024.0059] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2023] [Accepted: 12/16/2023] [Indexed: 03/14/2024]
Abstract
Importance Although intravascular ultrasonography (IVUS) guidance promotes favorable outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), many catheterization laboratories worldwide lack access. Objective To investigate whether systematic implementation of quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) to assist angiography-guided PCI could be an alternative strategy to IVUS guidance during stent implantation. Design, Setting, and Participants This randomized, open-label, noninferiority clinical trial enrolled adults (aged ≥18 years) with chronic or acute coronary syndrome and angiographically confirmed native coronary artery stenosis requiring PCI. Patients were enrolled in 6 cardiac centers in Korea from February 23, 2017, to August 23, 2021, and follow-up occurred through August 25, 2022. All principal analyses were performed according to the intention-to-treat principle. Interventions After successful guidewire crossing of the first target lesion, patients were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either QCA- or IVUS-guided PCI. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was target lesion failure at 12 months, defined as a composite of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, or ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization. The trial was designed assuming an event rate of 8%, with the upper limit of the 1-sided 97.5% CI of the absolute difference in 12-month target lesion failure (QCA-guided PCI minus IVUS-guided PCI) to be less than 3.5 percentage points for noninferiority. Results The trial included 1528 patients who underwent PCI with QCA guidance (763; mean [SD] age, 64.1 [9.9] years; 574 males [75.2%]) or IVUS guidance (765; mean [SD] age, 64.6 [9.5] years; 622 males [81.3%]). The post-PCI mean (SD) minimum lumen diameter was similar between the QCA- and IVUS-guided PCI groups (2.57 [0.55] vs 2.60 [0.58] mm, P = .26). Target lesion failure at 12 months occurred in 29 of 763 patients (3.81%) in the QCA-guided PCI group and 29 of 765 patients (3.80%) in the IVUS-guided PCI group (absolute risk difference, 0.01 percentage points [95% CI, -1.91 to 1.93 percentage points]; hazard ratio, 1.00 [95% CI, 0.60-1.68]; P = .99). There was no difference in the rates of stent edge dissection (1.2% vs 0.7%, P = .25), coronary perforation (0.2% vs 0.4%, P = .41), or stent thrombosis (0.53% vs 0.66%, P = .74) between the QCA- and IVUS-guided PCI groups. The risk of the primary end point was consistent regardless of subgroup, with no significant interaction. Conclusions and Relevance Findings of this randomized clinical trial indicate that QCA and IVUS guidance during PCI showed similar rates of target lesion failure at 12 months. However, due to the lower-than-expected rates of target lesion failure in this trial, the findings should be interpreted with caution. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02978456.

Front Cardiovasc Med 2024; 11:1332925. [PMID: 38742173 PMCID: PMC11090039 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2024.1332925] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2023] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The diagnostic performance and clinical validity of automatic intracoronary imaging (ICI) tools for atherosclerotic plaque assessment have not been systematically investigated so far. Methods We performed a scoping review including studies on automatic tools for automatic plaque components assessment by means of optical coherence tomography (OCT) or intravascular imaging (IVUS). We summarized study characteristics and reported the specifics and diagnostic performance of developed tools. Results Overall, 42 OCT and 26 IVUS studies fulfilling the eligibility criteria were found, with the majority published in the last 5 years (86% of the OCT and 73% of the IVUS studies). A convolutional neural network deep-learning method was applied in 71% of OCT- and 34% of IVUS-studies. Calcium was the most frequent plaque feature analyzed (26/42 of OCT and 12/26 of IVUS studies), and both modalities showed high discriminatory performance in testing sets [range of area under the curve (AUC): 0.91-0.99 for OCT and 0.89-0.98 for IVUS]. Lipid component was investigated only in OCT studies (n = 26, AUC: 0.82-0.86). Fibrous cap thickness or thin-cap fibroatheroma were mainly investigated in OCT studies (n = 8, AUC: 0.82-0.94). Plaque burden was mainly assessed in IVUS studies (n = 15, testing set AUC reported in one study: 0.70). Conclusion A limited number of automatic machine learning-derived tools for ICI analysis is currently available. The majority have been developed for calcium detection for either OCT or IVUS images. The reporting of the development and validation process of automated intracoronary imaging analyses is heterogeneous and lacks critical information.

Comparison between Imaging and Physiology in Guiding Coronary Revascularization: A Meta-Analysis. J Clin Med 2024; 13:2504. [PMID: 38731033 PMCID: PMC11084876 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13092504] [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: 04/02/2024] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a widely used revascularization strategy for coronary artery disease. The choice between imaging-guided and physiology-guided PCI has been a subject of debate. This meta-analysis aims to systematically compare outcomes between imaging and physiology-guided PCI and management of intermediate coronary lesions (ICLs). Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted across major databases for studies published up to December 2023 following PRISMA guidelines. Seven eligible studies comparing imaging-guided and physiology-guided PCI were selected for the final analysis. Relevant outcome measures included major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), target vessel revascularization (TVR), target vessel failure (TVF), and target lesion revascularization (TLR). Subgroup analysis was performed for ICLs. Results: A total of 5701 patients were included in the meta-analysis. After a mean follow-up of 2.1 years, imaging-guided PCI was associated with lower rates of TVR compared to physiology-guided PCI (OR 0.70, 95% CI 0.52-0.95, p = 0.02); concerning MACE, TVF, and TLR, no differences were found. When the analysis was restricted to studies considering ICLs management, there were no differences between the two techniques. Meta regression analysis did not show any impact of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) presentation on MACE and TVR. Conclusions: The findings suggest that imaging-guided PCI may reduce the need for future revascularization of the target vessel compared to the functional-guided approach, and this result was not influenced by ACS presentation. These results may have important implications for clinical practice, guiding interventional cardiologists in selecting the most appropriate guidance strategy.

Abstract
Background: Coronary artery calcification is a predictor of adverse outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) is a promising tool for the treatment of calcified lesions. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness and safety of IVL. Methods: A single-center observational study of PCI procedure, with assessment of the outcomes of patients undergoing PCI using IVL, was performed. Angiographic procedural success was used as the primary effectiveness endpoint. The primary safety endpoint was defined as a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction and target vessel revascularization within 30 days. Results: A total of 111 patients were included. Indications for PCI spanned the spectrum of chronic (53.2%) and acute coronary syndromes (43%). Lesion preparation before IVL was performed with non-compliant (42%), cutting or OPN (14.4%) balloons and with atherectomy techniques in 11% of procedures. Intravascular imaging was used in 21.6% of procedures. The primary effectiveness endpoint was achieved in 100% and the primary safety endpoint in 3.6% of procedures. Peri-procedural complications were minimal and successfully resolved. Conclusions: IVL was an effective and safe technique for the treatment of calcified coronary lesions. These findings contribute to the growing body of evidence supporting the use of IVL in the management of these challenging scenarios.
