Non-target lesion progression: Unveiling critical predictors and outcomes in patients with in-stent restenosis. Int J Cardiol 2024:132451. [PMID: 39147280 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2024.132451] [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: 04/24/2024] [Revised: 07/30/2024] [Accepted: 08/13/2024] [Indexed: 08/17/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has become the primary treatment for coronary artery disease. However, while PCI effectively addresses severe stenosis or occlusive lesions in target vessels, the progression of non-target vessel plaque remains a critical determinant of long-term patient prognosis. AIMS The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of non-target vascular plaque progression on prognosis after PCI for ISR. METHODS This study included 195 patients diagnosed with ISR and multivessel disease who underwent successful PCI with drug-eluting stent (DES) placement, along with intraoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) assessment of the culprit stent. Subsequent rechecked coronary angiography categorized eligible patients into non-target lesion progression (N-TLP) and no-N-TLP groups. We evaluated the baseline morphological characteristics of N-TLP by OCT and investigated the relationship between N-TLP, non-culprit vessel-related major adverse cardiovascular events (NCV-MACE), and pan-vascular disease-related clinical events (PVD-CE) incidence. RESULTS Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that diabetes mellitus (OR 3.616, 95% CI: 1.735-7.537; P = 0.001), uric acid level (OR 1.005, 95% CI: 1.001-1.009; P = 0.006), in-stent neoatherosclerosis (ISNA) (OR 1.334, 95% CI: 1.114-1.985; P = 0.047) and heterogeneous neointima morphology (OR 2.48, 95% CI: 1.18-5.43; P = 0.019) were independent predictors for N-TLP. Furthermore, N-TLP was associated with a high incidence of NCV-MACE (19.4% vs 6.9%, P = 0.009) and PVD-CE (83.9% [95% CI: 79.7%-88.3%] vs 93.1% [95% CI: 88.4%-98.0%], P = 0.038) after PCI in ISR patients. CONCLUSION Diabetes, uric acid levels, ISNA, and heterogeneous neointima are predictive factors for subsequent rapid plaque progression, with N-TLP exacerbating the incidence of NCV-MACE and PVD-CE after PCI.

Zuo L, Tian Z, Zhou B, Hou M, Chen Y, Han P, Ma C, Wu X, Yu D. Perivascular fat attenuation index value and plaque volume increased in non-target lesions of coronary arteries after stenting. Eur Radiol 2024; 34:4233-4242. [PMID: 38057594 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-023-10468-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2023] [Revised: 09/09/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Progression of non-target lesions (NTLs) after stenting has been reported and is associated with the triggering of an inflammatory response. The perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI) may be used as a novel imaging biomarker for the direct quantification of coronary inflammation. OBJECTIVES To investigate whether FAI values can help identify changes in inflammation status in patients undergoing stent implantation, especially in NTLs. METHODS Patients who underwent pre- and post-stenting coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) examination between January 2015 and February 2021 were consecutively enrolled. The pre- and post-stenting FAIs of the full coronary arteries were compared in both the non- and stent-implanted coronary arteries. Moreover, local FAI values were measured and compared between the NTLs and target lesions in the stent implantations. We also compared changes in plaque type and volume in NTLs before and after stenting. RESULTS A total of 89 patients (mean age 61 years; male 59) were enrolled. The perivascular FAI values in the full coronary arteries decreased after stenting in both the non- and stent-implanted coronary arteries, similar to those in the target lesions. Conversely, the perivascular FAI values in the NTLs increased after stenting (p < 0.05). In addition, the plaque volumes significantly increased in the NTLs after stenting, regardless of whether they were non-calcified, mixed, or calcified (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Perivascular FAI values and plaque volumes increased in the NTLs after stenting. Perivascular FAI can be a promising imaging biomarker for monitoring coronary inflammation after stenting and facilitate long-term monitoring in clinical settings. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT Perivascular fat attenuation index, a non-invasive imaging biomarker, may help identify coronary arteries with high inflammation in non-target lesions and facilitate long-term monitoring, potentially providing an opportunity for more targeted treatment. KEY POINTS • Perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI) values and plaque volumes increased in the non-target lesions (NTLs) after stenting, suggesting potential focal inflammation progression after stenting. However, stenting along with anti-inflammatory treatment ameliorated inflammation in the full coronary arteries. • Perivascular FAI, a non-invasive imaging biomarker, may help identify coronary arteries with high inflammation in NTLs and facilitate long-term monitoring, potentially providing an opportunity for more targeted treatment.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Colchicine reduces atherothrombotic cardiovascular events in coronary artery disease because of its anti-inflammatory effect. However, the effects of the other anti-inflammatory drugs in coronary artery disease remain unclear. This study included 132 patients aged 18-80 years who completed the planned percutaneous coronary interventions and were treated with aggressive secondary prevention strategies for 4 weeks. The subjects were randomly assigned to 1 of the following treatment groups for 4 weeks: (1) control: no additional intervention; (2) colchicine: 0.5 mg once a day; (3) tranilast: 0.1 g thrice a day; or (4) oridonin: 0.5 g thrice a day. The primary outcome was the percentage change in high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels at the end of 4 weeks. In total, 109 patients completed the study. The mean age was 58.33 years, 81 (74.31%) were male, and 28 (25.69%) were female. The percentage changes in hsCRP after 4 weeks of treatment were -11.62%, -48.28%, -21.60%, and -7.81%, in the control, colchicine, tranilast, and the oridonin groups, respectively. Compared with the control group, only the colchicine group showed significantly greater reduction in hsCRP levels ( P = 0.022). In targeted proteomic analysis, proteins associated with neutrophil activation (azurocidin, myeloperoxidase, and myeloblastin), platelet aggregation (glycoprotein VI), and endothelial damage (galectin-3) were reduced with colchicine therapy. These results show that of 3 anti-inflammatory drugs only colchicine could reduce hsCRP in patients after percutaneous coronary interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nummular headache (NH) is categorized as a primary headache in the International Classification of Headache Disorders, Third edition (ICHD-3) diagnostic criteria, but there are secondary etiologies as well. We present a case of secondary NH that associated with vascular lesion. CASE PRESENTATION We report on a 40-year-old man with a medical history of symptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis who developed a headache after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting because of Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis(ICAS). This new-onset headache was a pinprick headache confined to the parietal part of the head and 5 cm in size. This headache most closely resembled the phenotype of a NH. And other causes of secondary headache were excluded. Thus, the diagnosis of NH was highly speculated. This patient represents a rare headache phenomenon after intracranial arterial stent placement. CONCLUSION This is the first report of NH after stent placement treatment in a patient with ICAS.

A higher non-HDL-C/HDL-C ratio was associated with an increased risk of progression of nonculprit coronary lesion in patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Clin Cardiol 2024; 47:e24243.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The ratio of nonhigh-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) has been shown associated with various metabolic diseases and atherosclerosis in primary prevention. However, there is limited evidence on the relationship between the non-HDL-C/HDL-C ratio and progression of nonculprit coronary lesion (NCCL) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). HYPOTHESIS Our study aimed to investigate the potential association between the non-HDL-C/HDL-C ratio and NCCL progression in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing PCI. METHODS We conducted a retrospective analysis of ACS patients who underwent coronary angiography twice at a single center from 2016 to 2022. Lipid measurements, demographic, clinical, and other laboratory data were collected from electronic medical records. NCCLs were evaluated using quantitative coronary angiography. The primary outcome was the progression of NCCL. Patients were categorized based on NCCL progression and tertiles of the non-HDL-C/HDL-C ratio. Associations were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS The study included 329 ACS patients who underwent PCI, with a median follow-up angiography of 1.09 years. We found NCCL progression in 95 (28.9%) patients with acceptable low-density lipoprotein cholesterol control (median: 1.81 mmol/L). Patients in the top tertile of the non-HDL-C/HDL-C ratio had a higher risk of NCCL progression. After adjusting for potential confounding factors, the non-HDL-C/HDL-C ratio remained a significant predictor for NCCL progression (adjusted odds ratio: 1.45; 95% confidence interval: 1.14-1.86; p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The non-HDL-C/HDL-C ratio predicts NCCL progression in ACS patients following PCI, providing a valuable tool for risk assessment and enhancing secondary prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
ABSTRACT The mechanism of in-stent restenosis (ISR) remains elusive, and in-stent neoatherosclerosis (ISNA) may hold siginificant pathophysiological implications. Nevertheless, the correlation between ISNA and the progression of untreated coronary segments affected by native atherosclerosis remains incompletely investigated. This study enrolled 225 patients diagnosed with coronary heart disease and multivessel disease (MVD). These patients underwent successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and intraoperative placement of drug-eluting stent (DES), followed by optical coherence tomography (OCT) assessment of the culprit stent. The mechanism of ISR was emamined through qualitative and quantitative analysis of OCT imaging. A significantly higher proportion of patients in the ISR with non-target lesion progression (N-TLP) group exhibited lipid plaque formation compared to the ISR without N-TLP group (69.0% versus 39.8%, P < 0.001). The incidence of thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) (33.3% versus 11.4%, P = 0.001) and ISNA (60.7% versus 38.6%, P < 0.001) was markedly elevated in the ISR with N-TLP group compared to the ISR without N-TLP group. Regarding manifestations, heterogeneous hyperplasia was predominantly observed in the ISR with N-TLP group (76.2% versus 38.6%, P < 0.001), while homogeneous hyperplasia was primarily presented in the ISR without N-TLP group (61.4% versus 23.8%, P < 0.001). Patients displaying notable progression of naturally occurring atherosclerosis manifest histomorphological features of ISR, primarily characterized by heterogeneous intimal hyperplasia and a higher prevalence of ISNA. In contrast, patients without substantial progression of naturally occurring atherosclerosis exhibit histomorphologic features of ISR primarily characterized by homogeneous intimal hyperplasia.

Abstract
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a management strategy for symptomatic obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Despite advancements, in-stent restenosis (ISR) still imparts a 1-2% annual rate of repeat revascularization-a focus of ongoing translational research. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides high resolution virtual histology of stents. Our study evaluates the use of OCT for virtual histological assessment of stent healing in a rabbit aorta model, enabling complete assessment of intraluminal healing throughout the stent. ISR varies based on intra-stent location, stent length, and stent type in a rabbit model-important considerations for translational experimental design. Atherosclerosis leads to more prominent ISR proliferation independent of stent-related factors. The rabbit stent model mirrors clinical observations, while OCT-based virtual histology demonstrates utility for pre-clinical stent assessment. Pre-clinical models should incorporate clinical and stent factors as feasible to maximize translation to clinical practice.

Long-term prognostic value of Murray law-based quantitative flow ratio in jailed left circumflex coronary artery after left main crossover stenting. Sci Rep 2023; 13:4391. [PMID: 36927741 PMCID: PMC10020166 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-30991-4] [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: 03/06/2022] [Accepted: 03/06/2023] [Indexed: 03/18/2023] Open
Abstract
We aimed to evaluate the impact of new Murray law-based QFR of jailed left circumflex coronary artery (LCx) on long-term clinical outcomes after left main coronary artery (LM) simple crossover stenting. 164 patients who underwent LM-to-left anterior descending coronary artery simple crossover stenting and had appropriate angiographic view of LCx for QFR computation were enrolled. The primary clinical outcome was the 5-year target lesion failure (TLF), defined as a composite of cardiac death, a target vessel myocardial infarction or target lesion repeat revascularization. The mean QFR of the LCx after LM stent implantation was 0.88 ± 0.09, and 29 patients (17.7%) had a low QFR (< 0.80), which was significantly associated with a higher 5-year rate of TLF when compared with the high QFR group (27.6% vs. 6.7%; HR: 4.235; 95% CI 1.21-14.95; p = 0.0015). The 5-year LCx ostium-related TLR rate in the low QFR group was also higher (17.2% vs. 3.0% in the high QFR group; HR: 6.07, 95% CI 1.63-22.59, p = 0.002). In a multivariate Cox regression analysis, a low QFR in the LCx after LM stenting was an independent predictor of the 5-year TLF rate (HR: 3.21, 95% CI 1.21-8.53; p = 0.019). ROC analysis showed that QFR a negative predictive value (NPV) of 89.6% ([AUC] 0.73, 95% CI 0.58-0.88, p < 0.05), the cutoff point is 0.85. The patients with a low QFR (< 0.80) in jailed LCX after LM simple crossover stenting had worse 5-year outcomes than those with a high QFR. Conversely, a QFR ≥ 0.85 of jailed LCx could serve as a good predictor of low risk of adverse outcome in LCx ostium. The QFR computation of the jailed LCx may be helpful to determine whether an additional procedure is required for the jailed side branch.

Identification of vulnerable non-culprit lesions by coronary computed tomography angiography in patients with chronic coronary syndrome and diabetes mellitus. Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 10:1143119. [PMID: 37034343 PMCID: PMC10076802 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2023.1143119] [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: 01/12/2023] [Accepted: 03/03/2023] [Indexed: 04/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Among patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic coronary syndrome (CCS), non-culprit lesions (NCLs) are responsible for a substantial number of future major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). Thus, we aimed to establish the natural history relationship between adverse plaque characteristics (APCs) of NCLs non-invasively identified by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and subsequent MACEs in these patients. Methods Between January 2016 and January 2019, 523 patients with DM and CCS were included in the present study after CCTA and successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). All patients were followed up for MACEs (the composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, and unplanned coronary revascularization) until January 2022, and the independent clinical event committee classified MACEs as indeterminate, culprit lesion (CL), and NCL-related. The primary outcome was MACEs arising from untreated NCLs during the follow-up. The association between plaque characteristics detected by CCTA and primary outcomes was determined by Marginal Cox proportional hazard regression. Results Overall, 1,248 NCLs of the 523 patients were analyzed and followed up for a median of 47 months. The cumulative rates of indeterminate, CL, and NCL-related MACEs were 2.3%, 14.5%, and 20.5%, respectively. On multivariate analysis, NCLs associated with recurrent MACEs were more likely to be characterized by a plaque burden >70% [hazard ratio (HR), 4.35, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.92-6.44], a low-density non-calcified plaque (LDNCP) volume >30 mm3 (HR: 3.40, 95% CI: 2.07-5.56), a minimal luminal area (MLA) <4 mm2 (HR: 2.30, 95% CI: 1.57-3.36), or a combination of three APCs (HR: 13.69, 95% CI: 9.34-20.12, p < 0.0001) than those not associated with recurrent MACEs. Sensitivity analysis regarding all indeterminate MACEs as NCL-related ones demonstrated similar results. Conclusions In DM patients who presented with CCS and underwent PCI, half of the MACEs occurring during the follow-up were attributable to recurrence at the site of NCLs. NCLs responsible for unanticipated MACEs were frequently characterized by a large plaque burden and LDNCP volume, a small MLA, or a combination of these APCs, as determined by CCTA.

Repair effect of the poly (D,L-lactic acid) nanoparticle containing tauroursodeoxycholic acid-eluting stents on endothelial injury after stent implantation. Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:1025558. [PMID: 36426231 PMCID: PMC9678935 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.1025558] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2022] [Accepted: 10/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Chronic endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) plays a crucial role in cardiovascular diseases. Thus, it can be considered a therapeutic target for these diseases. In this study, poly (D,L-lactic acid) (PDLLA) nanoparticle-eluting stents loaded with tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA), an ER stress inhibitor, was fabricated to assess their ability to reduce endothelial cell apoptosis and promote re-endothelialization after stent implantation. Materials and methods PDLLA nanoparticles loaded with TUDCA were prepared via the emulsification-solvent evaporation method. The cumulative release rates of TUDCA were measured in vitro via high-performance liquid chromatography. The carotid arteries of rabbits were subsequently implanted with stents in vivo. The rabbits were then sacrificed after 4 weeks for scanning electron microscopy. Meanwhile, TUDCA concentration in the homogenate of the peripheral blood and distal vascular tissue after stent implantation was measured. The effect of TUDCA on ERS, apoptosis, and human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) function was investigated in vitro by performing cell migration assay, wound healing assay, cell proliferation assays, endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-specific fluorescence staining, immunofluorescence, and western blotting. Results TUDCA nanoparticles were released slowly over 28 days. In addition, TUDCA-eluting stents enhanced re-endothelialization and accelerated the recovery of endotheliocytes in vivo. ERS and apoptosis significantly increased in H2O2-treated HUVECs in vitro. Meanwhile, TUDCA reduced apoptosis and improved function by inhibiting ERS in H2O2-treated HUVECs. Decreased rates of apoptosis and ERS were observed after silencing XBP-1s in H2O2-treated HUVECs. Conclusion TUDCA can inhibit apoptosis and promote re-endothelialization after stent implantation by inhibiting IRE/XBP1s-related ERS. These results indicate the potential therapeutic application of TUDCA as a drug-coated stent.
