Diagnostic value of myocardial SPECT to detect in-stent restenosis after drug-eluting stent implantation. Int J Cardiovasc Imaging 2012; 28:2125-34. [PMID: 22395666 DOI: 10.1007/s10554-012-0036-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2011] [Accepted: 02/21/2012] [Indexed: 10/28/2022]
Abstract
Different angiographic patterns and restenosis rate may affect diagnostic value of single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in the era of drug-eluting stents (DES). We aimed to determine the ability of myocardial SPECT to detect in-stent restenosis (ISR) in patients treated with DES compared to that of patients treated with bare metal stent (BMS). We evaluated 228 consecutive patients who underwent 6 months follow-up SPECT and coronary angiography (CAG) after stent implantation. In 228 patients, 354 vessels were treated with stent implantation (BMS, n = 105; DES, n = 249) and 65 (18.4%) vessels showed ISR (angiographic % diameter stenosis ≥ 50%) at the 6-month follow-up CAG. In patients with BMS-ISR (n = 37), restenosis was primarily diffuse (70.3%), whereas patients with DES-ISR (n = 28) exhibited more focal restenosis (53.6%, p = 0.028). The sensitivity and specificity of myocardial SPECT did not differ significantly between patients with BMS and those with DES (BMS vs. DES: sensitivity 56.8 vs. 39.3%, p = 0.163; specificity 72.1 vs. 76.5%, p = 0.460). Evaluation of 71 false positive and 33 false negative lesions showed that the most common cause of false-positive results in SPECT was the perfusion decrease which improved but not disappeared compared with the baseline (46 among 71 vascular territories). Despite different patterns of restenosis and ISR rates, the diagnostic value of SPECT did not differ between BMS and DES. Further study looking at ISR in larger number of patients and using other protocol such as Fleming-Harrington Redistribution Wash-in Washout may give additional information.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most prevalent form of cardiovascular disease affecting about 13 million Americans, while more than one million percutaneous transluminal intervention (PCI) procedures are performed annually in the USA. The relative high occurrence of restenosis, despite stent implementation, seems to be the primary limitation of PCI. Over the last decades, single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI), has proven an invaluable tool for the diagnosis of CAD and patients’ risk stratification, providing useful information regarding the decision about revascularization and is well suited to assess patients after intervention. Information gained from post-intervention MPI is crucial to differentiate patients with angina from those with exo-cardiac chest pain syndromes, to assess peri-intervention myocardial damage, to predict-detect restenosis after PCI, to detect CAD progression in non-revascularized vessels, to evaluate the effects of intervention if required for occupational reasons and to evaluate patients’ long-term prognosis. On the other hand, chest pain and exercise electrocardiography are largely unhelpful in identifying patients at risk after PCI. Although there are enough published data demonstrating the value of myocardial perfusion SPECT imaging in patients after PCI, there is still debate on whether or not these tests should be performed routinely.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Noninvasive methods that have the ability to accurately detect restenosis have been desired in the selection of patients requiring further angiographic evaluation. The present study sought to evaluate the diagnostic potential of transthoracic Doppler echocardiography (TTDE), a noninvasive method for evaluating coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR), in detecting restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS We studied 107 consecutive patients 6 months after undergoing successful PCI on the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) lesions for relief of angina pectoris. The flow velocity in the distal LAD was measured by TTDE both at rest and during intravenous infusion of adenosine triphosphate. CFVR was calculated as the ratio of hyperemic to basal mean diastolic flow velocities. We defined a reversible perfusion defect in exercise Tl-201 single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) as restenosis. The CFVR measurements by TTDE were compared with the results of SPECT. RESULTS Complete TTDE data were acquired for 105 of the 107 study patients. A contrast agent was used to obtain adequate Doppler signals in 29 patients. Of the 105 patients, there were 18 patients with abnormal perfusion (group A) and 87 patients with normal perfusion (group B) in the LAD territories on Tl-201 SPECT. CFVR was greater in group B than in group A (1.7 +/- 0.5 vs. 3.7 +/- 0.8, P < 0.0001, respectively). There were 17 patients with CFVR < 2 and 88 patients with CFVR > or = 2. CFVR < 2 predicted restenosis determined by Tl-201 SPECT, with a sensitivity of 94% and a specificity of 100%. CONCLUSIONS Noninvasive measurement of CFVR by TTDE accurately reflects the physiological severity of coronary narrowing due to restenosis after PCI. This method has possibility of reducing the number of unnecessary coronary angiographies after PCI.

Abstract
When chest symptoms recur in a patient who underwent percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), it is necessary to rule out restenosis (R). Three main noninvasive tests suggest the presence of R: exercise stress test (XT), myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and stress echocardiography (s-echo). The objectives of this review were: (1) to estimate the pretest probability of R as a function of time after PTCA in symptomatic patients and (2) to obtain an approximation of the diagnostic parameters of the XT, MPI and s-echo for detecting R. A MEDLINE search (English-language, years: 1980-2001) was conducted to identify studies examining post-PTCA functional testing for diagnosing R. Data from the studies were pooled. Comparing studies was often difficult due to varying methodology in the studies. Pretest probability of R in symptomatic patients increases in a nonlinear fashion from 20% or less at 1 month, to nearly 90% at 1-year postangioplasty. The approximated accuracy of the XT, MPI, and s-echo for detecting R was 62, 82 and 84%, respectively. During the first month after PTCA, none of the noninvasive modalities is able to accurately detect R. Late (7-9 months) after PTCA, the pretest probability of R is high and therefore the noninvasive measure may be spared. Our analysis suggests that MPI and s-echo should be preferred over the XT for diagnosing R.

Abstract
The diagnosis coronary artery disease is classically based on patient's symptoms and morphology, as analyzed by angiography. The importance of risk factors for the development of coronary atherosclerosis and disturbance of coronary vasomotion is clearly established. However, microembolization of the coronary circulation has also to be taken into account. Microembolization may occur as a single or as multiple, repetitive events, and it may induce inflammatory responses. Spontaneous microembolization may occur, when the fibrous cap of an atheroma or fibroatheroma (Stary i.v. and Va) ruptures and the lipid pool with or without additional thrombus formation is washed out of the atheroma into the microcirculation. Such events with progressive thrombus formation are known as cyclic flow variations. Plaque rupture occurs more frequently than previously assumed, i.e. in 9% of patients without known heart disease suffering a traffic accident and in 22% of patients with hypertension and diabetes. Also, in patients dying from sudden death microembolization is frequently found. Patients with stable and unstable angina show not only signs of coronary plaque rupture and thrombus formation, but also microemboli and microinfarcts, the only difference between those with stable and unstable angina being the number of events. Appreciation of microembolization may help to better understand the pathogenesis of ischemic cardiomyopathy, diabetic cardiomyopathy and acute coronary syndromes, in particular in patients with normal coronary angiograms, but plaque rupture detected by intravascular ultrasound. Also, the benefit from glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antagonist is better understood, when not only the prevention of thrombus formation in the epicardial atherosclerotic plaque, but also that of microemboli is taken into account. Microembolization also occurs during PTCA, inducing elevations of troponin T and I and elevations of the ST segment in the EKG. Elevated baseline coronary blood flow velocity, as a potential consequence of reactive hyperemia in myocardium surrounding areas of microembolization, is more frequent in patients with high frequency rotablation than in patients with stenting and in patients with PTCA. The hypothesis of iafrogenic microembolization during coronary interventions is now supported by the use of aspiration and filtration devices, where particles with a size of up to 700 microns have been retrieved. In the experiment, microembolization is characterized by perfusion-contraction mismatch, as the proportionate reduction of flow and function seen with an epicardial stenosis is lost and replaced by contractile dysfunction in the absence of reduced flow. The analysis of the coronary microcirculation, in addition to that of the morphology and function of epicardial coronary arteries, and in particular appreciation of the concept of microembolization will further improve the understanding of the pathophysiology and clinical symptoms of coronary artery disease.
