Yang Q, Ma X, Wang Y. Long-term outcomes of IVUS-guided and angiography-guided drug-eluting stent implantation for left main coronary artery disease: a retrospective consort study. J Cardiothorac Surg 2024; 19:407. [PMID: 38951893 PMCID: PMC11218326 DOI: 10.1186/s13019-024-02800-0] [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: 12/13/2023] [Accepted: 05/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients with unprotected left main coronary artery disease (ULMCAD), this study compared the long-term prognosis of drug-eluting stent insertion guided by intravascular ultrasonography (IVUS) vs. angiography. PATIENTS AND METHODS This retrospective consort investigation was performed in December 2021. This analysis included 199 patients who underwent IVUS-guided (IVUS group, n = 81) or angiography-guided (angiography group, n = 118) drug-eluting stent implantation at the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University between September 2013 and September 2018. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were defined as cardiovascular death, sudden cardiac death, myocardial infarction. RESULTS The IVUS group had considerably lower proportions of MACE within 1 year postoperatively (P = 0.002) and cardiac mortality within 3 years postoperatively (P = 0.018) compared to the angiography group. However, after adjusting for confounding variables, the hazard ratio for 3-year cardiac mortality was similar between the two groups (P = 0.28). In the IVUS group, there was considerably greater minimum lumen diameter (MLD) (P = 0.046), and reduced frequencies of target vessel restenosis (P < 0.050) and myocardial infarction (MI) (P = 0.024) compared to the angiography group. Cox regression analysis for 3-year cardiac mortality found that MSD was independently associated with low cardiac mortality (HR = 0.1, 95% CI: 0.01-14.92, P = 0.030). CONCLUSION IVUS-guided drug-eluting stent implantation may lead to better long-term prognosis in patients with ULMCAD, and MSD may be a predictor for lower cardiac mortality.

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.

Intravascular ultrasound-guided versus angiography-guided percutaneous coronary intervention in unprotected left main coronary artery disease: A systematic review. CARDIOVASCULAR REVASCULARIZATION MEDICINE 2024; 59:99-108. [PMID: 37657950 DOI: 10.1016/j.carrev.2023.08.006] [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: 04/21/2023] [Revised: 08/13/2023] [Accepted: 08/24/2023] [Indexed: 09/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Significant unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) disease is encountered in approximately 5 % of patients undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) overcomes many of the known limitations of angiography and improves outcomes of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in stable or complex coronary artery disease. The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate the evidence on IVUS-guidance versus angiography-guidance in ULMCA PCI, highlighting the chronological frequencies of event rates in line with the maturation of PCI technique and devices over time. METHODS A comprehensive systematic search in Medline was performed to identify all studies that had assessed the effect of IVUS-guided versus angiography-guided ULMCA PCI on various primary and secondary endpoints. RESULTS Seventeen studies (2 randomized, 10 non-randomized and 5 meta-analyses) were included in this systematic review. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review on IVUS-guided versus angiography-guided PCI in patients with significant ULMCA disease strongly supports the hypothesis that IVUS-guided PCI is associated with a significant reduction in major adverse cardiac events composites, all-cause death, cardiac death, myocardial infarction and stent thrombosis. Ongoing, adequately powered trials will contribute significantly to the level of evidence.

Abstract
Coronary angiography has long been the standard for coronary imaging, but it has limitations in assessing vessel wall anatomy and guiding percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Intracoronary imaging techniques like intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) can overcome these limitations. IVUS uses ultrasound and OCT uses near-infrared light to visualize coronary pathology in unique ways due to differences in temporal and spatial resolution. These techniques have evolved to offer clinical utility in plaque characterization and vessel assessment during PCI. Meta-analyses and adjusted observational studies suggest that both IVUS and OCT-guided PCI correlate with reduced cardiovascular risks compared to angiographic guidance alone. While IVUS demonstrates consistent clinical outcome benefits, OCT evidence is less robust. IVUS has progressed from early motion detection to high-resolution systems, with smaller compatible catheters. OCT utilizes near infrared light to achieve unparalleled resolutions, but requires temporary blood clearance for optimal imaging. Enhanced visualization and guidance make IVUS and OCT well-suited for higher risk PCI in patients with diabetes and chronic kidney disease by allowing detailed visualization of complex lesions and ensuring optimal stent deployment and positioning in PCI for patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease, improving outcomes. IVUS and recent advancements in zero- and low-contrast OCT techniques can reduce nephrotoxic contrast exposure, thus helping to minimize PCI complications in these high-risk patient groups. IVUS and OCT provide valuable insights into coronary pathophysiology and guide interventions precisely compared to angiography alone. Both have comparable clinical outcomes, emphasizing the need for tailored imaging choices based on clinical scenarios. Continued refinement and integration of intravascular imaging will likely play a pivotal role in optimizing coronary interventions and outcomes. This systematic review aims to delve into the nuances of IVUS and OCT, highlighting their strengths and limitations as PCI adjuncts.

Abstract
Patients with left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD) with a high SYNTAX score (SS) were excluded from randomized studies that comparing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). We sought to compare PCI and CABG in the real-world practice and investigate the impact of SS I, SS II, and SS II 2020 on clinical outcomes. In total, 292 Patients with LMCAD (173 PCI, 119 CABG) treated between 2017 and 2021 were enrolled. The primary outcome was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), a composite of all-cause death, stroke, or myocardial infarction (MI). The mean SS I was high in both groups (PCI vs. CABG: 31.64 ± 11.45 vs. 32.62 ± 11.75, p = 0.660). The primary outcome occurred in 28 patients (16.2%) in the PCI group and in 19 patients (16.0%) in the CABG group without significant difference [adjusted hazard ratio, 95% CI = 0.98 (0.51-1.90), p = 0.97] over the follow-up period (26.9 ± 17.7 months). No significant difference was observed in all-cause mortality (11.6% vs. 11.8%, p = 0.93) or stroke rates (3.5% vs. 5.0%, p = 0.51) between groups. However, PCI was associated with higher MI (4.6% vs. 0.8%, p < 0.05) and revascularization rates (26% vs. 5.9%, p < 0.001). Prognostic value of the SS I, SS II and SS II 2020 on the primary outcome was not relevant in the PCI group. Among patients with LMCAD, PCI and CABG did not significantly differ in the composite endpoint of all-cause death, stroke, and MI. These results support the potential expansion of PCI indications in LMCAD management for whom are ineligible for CABG with complex coronary artery disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Aim: To investigate the effect of ivabradine on the hemodynamics and contractility of the myocardium and the features of NT-pro-BNP production in patients with stable ischemic heart disease after endovascular revascularization of the myocardium depending on the number of affected coronary arteries during 12 months of therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Materials and Methods: The object of the study was 120 patients with stable coronary artery disease: angina pectoris of functional class III with heart failure IIA FC III with preserved and moderately reduced ejection fraction of the left ventricle, who underwent coronary artery stenting. The examined patients were randomized according to the number of affected coronary vessels and the method of treatment. RESULTS Results: Ivabradine in patients with stable ischemic heart disease after 12 months of therapy had a significant beneficial effect on the structural and functional parameters of the myocardium (contributed to the reverse remodeling of the left ventricle), which did not depend on the number of stented coronary arteries (p<0.05). In patients with stented one coronary artery, all structural and functional indicators of the heart after 12 months of treatment reached the values of practically healthy individuals from the control group. The use of ivabradine in patients with stable ischemic heart disease with heart failure with preserved and intermediate ejection fraction of the left ventricle after coronary stenting made it possible to ensure the correction of a number of clinical and pathogenetic links of the disease, which generally contributed to the improvement of metric and volumetric parameters of the heart. CONCLUSION Conclusions: Ivabradine made it possible to significantly increase the effectiveness of standard therapy, which was manifested by a faster recovery of the geometry and contractility of the left ventricle. Therefore, the use of ivabradine along with standard therapy was appropriate for such a contingent of patients. The management of patients with stable coronary heart disease should combine adequate (surgical and pharmacological) treatment of the underlying disease, further individual medication correction of symptoms and circulatory disorders inherent in coronary heart disease and heart failure.

Abstract
Intravascular imaging (IVI) namely intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT), presents as a promising imaging modality for drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation compared to the gold-standard conventional two-dimensional angiography. IVI provides detailed information on vessel lumen, lesion length, and degree of calcification. For this purpose, we conducted a meta-analysis by pooling recently conducted randomized control trials (RCTs) to compare IVI with angiography for DES implantation. Scopus and MEDLINE were searched till May 2023 for RCTs comparing IVI with traditional angiography-guided stent implantation in coronary artery disease patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. The primary outcome of interest was target-lesion revascularization (TLR). Secondary outcomes included target vessel revascularization (TVR), all-cause mortality, and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). A random-effects meta-analysis with metaregression was performed to derive risk ratios with corresponding 95% CIs from dichotomous data. Fourteen RCTs with a total of 8946 CAD patients (IVI 4751 vs angiography 4195; mean age 61.7 years) and a median follow-up of 15 months (12-24.3) were included. IVI was associated with significantly reduced TLR (RR 0.63 [0.49, 0.79]) vs conventional angiography. Similarly, TVR incidence (RR 0.66 [0.53, 0.83]), and MACE (RR 0.69 [0.58, 0.78]) were also significantly decreased with IVI vs conventional angiography for PCI. However, no significant difference was observed in all-cause mortality between the 2 imaging modalities (RR 0.85 [0.63, 1.15]). Metaregression analysis showed no significant impact of follow-up duration, baseline comorbidities such as hypertension, smoking status, previous MI, and stent length on TLR incidence. IVI was associated with improved clinical outcomes in terms of reduced TLR, TVR, and MACE incidence when compared with traditional angiography in CAD patients for stent implantation.

Real-world long-term survival after non-emergent percutaneous coronary intervention to unprotected left main coronary artery - From the Melbourne Interventional Group (MIG) registry. CARDIOVASCULAR REVASCULARIZATION MEDICINE 2024; 58:1-6.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Current evidence suggests that percutaneous coronary intervention for unprotected left main coronary artery disease (LMPCI) in selected patients is a safe alternative to coronary artery bypass grafting. However, real-world long-term survival data is limited. METHODS We analyzed 24,644 patients from the MIG (Melbourne Interventional Group) registry between 2005 and 2020. We compared baseline clinical and procedural characteristics, in-hospital and 30-day outcomes, and long-term survival between unprotected LMPCI and non-LMPCI among patients without ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, cardiogenic shock, or cardiac arrest. RESULTS Unprotected LMPCI patients (n = 185) were significantly older (mean age 72.0 vs. 64.6 years, p < 0.001), had higher prevalence of impaired ejection fraction (EF <50 %; 27.3 % vs. 14.9 %, p < 0.001) and lower estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 ml/min/1.73m2 (40.9 % vs. 21.5 %, p < 0.001), and had greater use of intravascular ultrasound (21 % vs. 1 %, p < 0.001) and drug-eluting stents (p < 0.001). LMPCI was associated with longer hospital stay (4 days vs. 2 days, p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in other in-hospital outcomes, 30-day mortality (0.6 % vs. 0.6 %, p = 0.90), and major adverse cardiac events (1.7 % vs. 3 %, p = 0.28). Although the unadjusted Kaplan-Meier survival to 8 years was significantly less with LMPCI compared to non-LMPCI (p < 0.01), LMPCI was not a predictor of long-term survival up to 8 years after Cox regression analysis (HR 0.67, 95 % CI 0.40-1.13, p = 0.13). CONCLUSION In this study, non-emergent unprotected LMPCI was uncommonly performed, and IVUS was underutilized. Despite greater co-morbidities, LMPCI patients had comparable 30-day outcomes to non-LMPCI, and LMPCI was not an independent predictor of long-term mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The RENOVATE-COMPLEX-PCI (Randomized Controlled Trial of Intravascular Imaging Guidance Versus Angiography-Guidance on Clinical Outcomes After Complex Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) demonstrated that intravascular imaging-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) improved clinical outcome compared with angiography-guided PCI for patients with complex coronary artery lesions. This study aims to assess whether the prognostic benefit of intravascular imaging-guided procedural optimization persists in patients undergoing PCI for left main coronary artery disease. METHODS Of 1639 patients enrolled in the RENOVATE-COMPLEX-PCI, 192 patients with left main coronary artery disease were selected for the current prespecified substudy. Selected patients were randomly assigned to either the intravascular imaging-guided PCI group (n=138) or the angiography-guided PCI group (n=54). 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. RESULTS At a median follow-up of 2.1 years (interquartile range 1.1 to 3.0 years), intravascular imaging-guided PCI was associated with lower incidence of primary end point compared with angiography-guided PCI (6.8% versus 25.1%; hazard ratio, 0.31 [95% CI, 0.13-0.76]; P=0.010). This significant reduction in primary end point was mainly driven by a lower risk of cardiac death or spontaneous target vessel-related myocardial infarction (1.6% versus 12.7%; hazard ratio, 0.16 [95% CI, 0.03-0.82]; P=0.028). Intravascular imaging-guided PCI was independently associated with a lower risk of primary end point, even after adjusting for various clinical factors (hazard ratio, 0.29 [95% CI, 0.12-0.72]; P=0.007). CONCLUSIONS Intravascular imaging-guided PCI showed clinical benefit over angiography-guided PCI for left main coronary artery disease in reducing the risk of cardiac death, target vessel-related myocardial infarction, or target vessel revascularization.

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2023; 102:1004-1011. [PMID: 37870106 DOI: 10.1002/ccd.30859] [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: 07/27/2023] [Revised: 08/30/2023] [Accepted: 10/05/2023] [Indexed: 10/24/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited data exist around the utility of intracoronary imaging (ICI) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and cardiogenic shock (CS), who are inherently at a high risk of stent thrombosis (ST). METHODS All PCI procedures for ACS patients with CS in England and Wales between 2014 and 2020 were retrospectively analysed, stratified into two groups: ICI and angiography-guided groups. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to examine odds ratios (OR) of in-hospital outcomes, including major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE; composite of all-cause mortality, acute stroke/transient ischaemic attack (TIA), and reinfarction) and major bleeding, in the ICI-guided group compared with angiography-guided PCI. RESULTS Of 15,738 PCI procedures, 1240(7.9%) were ICI-guided. The rate of ICI use amongst those with CS more than doubled from 2014 (5.7%) to 2020 (13.3%). The ICI-guided group were predominantly younger, males, with a higher proportion of non-ST-elevation ACS and ST. MACCE was significantly lower in the ICI-guided group compared with the angiography-guided group (crude: 29.8% vs. 38.2%, adjusted odds ratio (OR) 0.65 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.56-0.76), driven by lower all-cause mortality (28.6% vs. 37.0%, OR 0.65 95% CI 0.55-0.75). There were no differences in other secondary outcomes between groups. CONCLUSION ICI use among CS patients has more than doubled over 6 years but remains significantly under-utilized, with less than 1-in-6 patients in receipt of ICI-guided PCI by 2020. ICI-guided PCI is associated with prognostic benefits in CS patients and should be more frequently utilized to increase their long-term survival.

Intracoronary Imaging Versus Coronary Angiography Guidance for Implantation of Second and Third Generation Drug Eluting Stents in a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. Am J Cardiol 2023; 202:100-110. [PMID: 37423173 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2023.06.073] [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: 01/10/2023] [Revised: 06/11/2023] [Accepted: 06/16/2023] [Indexed: 07/11/2023]
Abstract
Intracoronary imaging (ICI) facilitates stent implant by characterizing the lesion calcification, providing accurate vessel dimensions, and optimizing the stent results. We sought to investigate the outcomes of routine ICI versus coronary angiography (CA) to guide percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with second- and third-generation drug-eluting stents. A systematic search of PubMed, Medline, and Cochrane databases was conducted from their inception to July 16, 2022 for randomized controlled trials comparing routine ICI with CA. The primary outcome was major adverse cardiovascular events. The secondary outcomes of interest were target lesion revascularization, target vessel revascularization, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, and cardiac and all-cause mortality. A random-effects model was used to calculate the pooled incidence and relative risk (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). A total of 9 randomized controlled trials with 5,879 patients (2,870 ICI-guided and 3,009 CA-guided PCI) met the inclusion criteria. The ICI and CA groups were similar in demographic characteristics and co-morbidity profiles. Compared with CA, patients in the routine ICI-guided PCI group had lower rates of major adverse cardiovascular events (RR 0.61, 95% CI 0.48 to 0.78, p <0.0001), target lesion revascularization (RR 0.60, 95% CI 0.43 to 0.83, p = 0.002), target vessel revascularization (RR 0.72, 95% CI 0.51 to 1.00, p = 0.05), and myocardial infarction (RR 0.48, 95% CI 0.25 to 0.95, p = 0.03). There were no significant differences in stent thrombosis or cardiac/all-cause mortality between the 2 strategies. In conclusion, routine ICI-guided PCI strategy, compared with CA guidance alone, is associated with improved clinical outcomes, largely driven by lower repeat revascularization.

Abstract
Coronary angiography has historically served as the gold standard for diagnosis of coronary artery disease and guidance of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Adjunctive use of contemporary intravascular imaging (IVI) technologies has emerged as a complement to conventional angiography-to further characterize plaque morphology and optimize the performance of PCI. IVI has utility for preintervention lesion and vessel assessment, periprocedural guidance of lesion preparation and stent deployment, and postintervention assessment of optimal endpoints and exclusion of complications. The role of IVI in reducing major adverse cardiac events in complex lesion subsets is emerging, and further studies evaluating broader use are underway or in development. This paper provides an overview of currently available IVI technologies, reviews data supporting their utilization for PCI guidance and optimization across a variety of lesion subsets, proposes best practices, and advocates for broader use of these technologies as a part of contemporary practice.

Abstract
Intracoronary imaging has brought new insight in the field of interventional cardiology. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) are the most commonly used imaging modalities. Regarding their technical characteristics IVUS and OCT have similarities as well as differences, a fact that could have significant clinical implications. Both techniques play an important role in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) guidance and demonstrated superiority compared to intravascular coronary angiography (ICA) guidance alone. Furthermore, their use can notably assist coronary plaque evaluation; both provide additional information of plaque characteristics, which can lead to a better understanding of the cause of an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and better clinical outcomes. However, there is not enough clinical evidence for the superiority of one method compared to the other, something that is, also, reflected in the guidelines. In this review, we aim to compare role of IVUS and OCT in the different aspects of coronary artery disease (CAD), according to the latest scientific data. In addition, we present the future perspectives regarding the IVUS and OCT, with co-registration of the two methods or hybrid OCT-IVUS catheters.

Abstract
Left Main Coronary Artery (LMCA) disease is considered a standout manifestation of coronary artery disease (CAD), because it is accompanied by the highest mortality. Increased mortality is expected, because LMCA is responsible for supplying up to 80% of total blood flow to the left ventricle in a right-dominant coronary system. Due to the significant progress of biomedical technology, the modern drug-eluting stents have remarkably improved the prognosis of patients with LMCA disease treated invasively. In fact, numerous randomized trials provided similar results in one- and five-year survival of patients treated with percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) -guided with optimal imaging and coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). However, interventional treatment requires optimal imaging of the LMCA disease, such as intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). The aim of this manuscript is to review the main pathophysiological characteristics, to present the imaging techniques of LMCA, and, last, to discuss the future directions in the depiction of LMCA disease.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Traditional angiography only displays two-dimensional images of the coronary arteries during stent implantation. However, intravascular imaging can show the structure of the vascular wall, plaque characteristics. This article aims to evaluate the efficacy of intravascular imaging-guided drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation.
Method
We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials of intravascular imaging-guided, including patients with DES implantation guided by intravascular ultrasound or optical coherence tomography and traditional angiography. The databases of PubMed, EMBASE, web of science, and Cochrane Library were searched. The primary outcome was target lesion revascularization (TLR). The secondary outcomes included the target vessel revascularization (TVR), myocardial infarction (MI), stent thrombosis (ST), cardiac death, all-cause death, and the major adverse cardiac events (MACE) during the 6–24 months follow-up. The fixed-effects model was used to calculate the relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence interval of the outcome event. Meanwhile, the trial sequence analysis was employed to evaluate the results.
Result
This meta-analysis included fourteen randomized controlled trials with 7307 patients. Compared with angiography-guided, intravascular imaging-guided DES implantation can significantly reduce the risk of TLR (RR 0.63, 0.49–0.82, P = 0.0004), TVR (RR 0.66, 0.52–0.85, P = 0.001), cardiac death (RR 0.58; 0.38–0.89; P = 0.01), MACE (RR 0.67, 0.57–0.79; P < 0.00001) and ST (RR 0.43, 0.24–0.78; P = 0.005). While there was no significant difference regarding MI (RR 0.77, 0.57–1.05, P = 0.10) and all-cause death (RR 0.87, 0.58–1.30, P = 0.50).
Conclusions
Compared with angiography, intravascular imaging-guided DES implantation is associated with better clinical outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease, especially complex lesions (Registered by PROSPERO, CRD 42021289205).

Abstract
Left main (LM) stem has different structural and anatomical characteristics compared to all of the other segments of the coronary tree, thus its management through percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a challenge and is associated with worse clinical outcome and higher need for revascularization as compared to other lesion settings. Intravascular imaging, by means of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) or optical coherence tomography (OCT), is an important tool for LM PCI guidance, aiming at improving the immediate performance and the long term outcome of this procedure. Following current guidelines and recent scientific findings, IVUS becomes important to firstly assess, and finally evaluate the result of LM stenting, according to the experience and preferences of the operator. The role of OCT still remains to be defined, but recent data is shedding light also on this imaging technique. The aim of this review is to highlight the latest scientific advancements regarding intravascular imaging in LM coronary artery disease.

Abstract
Background No meta-analysis has been conducted to compare the long-term clinical outcomes of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided versus angiographic-guided drug-eluting stent implantation in patients with long de novo coronary lesions. We attempted to compare the efficacy and safety of IVUS guidance versus angiography guidance in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for long de novo coronary lesions. Materials and Methods We performed a detailed meta-analysis from four randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and one observational study to compare long outcomes of IVUS versus angiography in guiding coronary stent implantation with long de novo coronary lesions defined as coronary stenosis which need stent implantation >28 mm in length. Data were aggregated for the endpoints measure using the fixed-effects model as pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals. Clinical outcomes included major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), all revascularization, including target lesion revascularization (TLR) and target vessel revascularization (TVR), all myocardial infarction (MI), all-cause death, and stent thrombosis (ST). Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, and Web of Science were searched. Results Four RCTs and one observational study were included in our study with 3,349 patients (IVUS guidance = 1,708; Angiography guidance = 1,641). With mean follow-up of 2 years, the incidence of MACE, all myocardial infarction, all revascularization and stent thrombosis were significantly lower in IVUS-guided DES implantation of patients with long de novo coronary lesions than in angiography-guided patients; MACE [OR 0.41; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.29–0.58; p < 0.00001], all myocardial infarction (OR 0.23; 95% CI, 0.09–0.58; p = 0.002), all revascularization (OR 0.48; 95% CI, 0.36–0.66; p < 0.00001), stent thrombosis (OR 0.32; 95% CI, 0.11–0.89; p = 0.03). There was no significant difference in all-cause mortality between the two groups (OR 0.82; 95% CI, 0.55–1.23; p = 0.34). Conclusion During mean follow-up of 2 years, the incidence of MACE, stent thrombosis, all myocardial infarction and revascularization in patients with long de novo coronary lesions under IVUS-guided PCI were significantly lower than angiography-guided PCI, and there were no statistically significant differences in all-cause mortality.

Abstract
Coronary bifurcation lesions (CBLs) account for 15%-20% of all percutaneous coronary interventions. The complex nature of these lesions is responsible for poorer procedural, early and late outcomes. This complex lesion subset has received great attention in the interventional cardiac community, and multiple stenting techniques have been developed. Of these, the provisional stenting technique is most often the default strategy; however, the elective double stenting (EDS) technique is preferred in certain subsets of complex CBLs. The double kissing crush technique may be the preferred EDS technique because of its efficacy and safety in comparative trials; however, this technique consists of many steps and requires training. Many new methods have recently been added to the EDS techniques to provide better stent scaffolding and to reduce early and late adverse outcomes. Intravascular imaging is necessary to determine the interventional strategy and postinterventional results. This review discusses the basic concepts, contemporary percutaneous interventional technical approaches, new methods, and controversial treatment issues of CBLs.

Abstract
Background The role of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)‐guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is still unclear in patients with acute myocardial infarction acute myocardial infarction. This study aimed to evaluate the long‐term impact of IVUS‐guided PCI in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Methods and Results Among a total of 13 104 patients with acute myocardial infarction, enrolled in the Korea Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry‐National Institutes of Health, we selected patients who underwent PCI with second‐generation drug‐eluting stent implantation. The primary outcome was the risk of target lesion failure at 3 years. Among the study population, 1887 patients (21.0%) underwent IVUS‐guidance, and 7120 patients (79.0%) underwent angiography‐guidance for second‐generation drug‐eluting stent implantation. IVUS‐guided PCI was associated with a significantly lower risk of target lesion failure at 3 years (4.8% versus 8.0%; hazard ratio [HR], 0.59; 95% CI, 0.47 to 0.73; P<0.001) compared with angiography‐guided PCI. The difference was driven mainly by a lower risk of cardiac death and target vessel myocardial infarction. The results were consistent after confounder adjustment by multiple sensitivity analyses. Moreover, quartile analysis of volume of IVUS use showed that higher IVUS use was associated with a decreased risk of 3‐year target lesion failure (adjusted HR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.45 to 0.75; P<0.001 for quartile 1 versus 4; P<0.001 for trend comparison across all quartiles). Conclusions In patients with acute myocardial infarction who underwent PCI with second‐generation drug‐eluting stent implantation, the use of IVUS guidance was associated with a significant reduction in 3‐year target lesion failure, mainly driven by hard end points, such as cardiac death and target vessel myocardial infarction.

Short- and Long-Term Prognosis of Intravascular Ultrasound-Versus Angiography-Guided Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Meta-Analysis Involving 24,783 Patients. J Interv Cardiol 2021; 2021:6082581.

Abstract
Background Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has potential benefits. This meta-analysis aimed to explore whether IVUS-guided PCI had better short- and long-term prognoses than angiography-guided PCI. Methods We retrieved studies from PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library. Clinical trials including retrospective and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared IVUS-guided PCI with angiography-guided PCI were included. The patients were followed up after operation at 30 days, 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years. The clinical outcomes were target lesion revascularization (TLR), target vessel revascularization (TVR), and MACEs, including stent thrombosis (ST), myocardial infarction (MI), cardiac death, and all-cause death. The study population included patients with MI, coronary bifurcation lesions, short or long lesions, and unprotected left main coronary artery stenosis (ULMCA). The quality of retrospective trials was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, and the quality of randomized controlled trials was evaluated using the Jadad score. A total of 20 clinical trials met the criteria. Three trials were randomized controlled trials, while 17 were retrospective trials. Results A total of 24,783 patients were included. In observational trials, the OR of MACEs was 0.49 (95% CI: 0.38-0.62) in 30 days, 0.65 (95% CI: 0.58-0.73) in one year, 0.51 (95% CI: 0.36-0.71) in two years, and 0.45 (95% CI: 0.31-0.65) in three years. In patients with long coronary lesions, the OR of MACEs in 1 year was 0.64 (95% CI: 0.28-1.50). In patients with left main artery disease, the OR of MACEs in 3 years was 0.42 (95% CI: 0.26-0.67). Compared with angiography-guided PCI, IVUS-guided PCI was associated with a lower incidence of MACEs during the same following period. Conclusion Compared with angiography-guided PCI, IVUS-guided PCI has better performance in reducing the occurrence of MACEs.

Abstract
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease has become an acceptable revascularization strategy. Evaluating the extent and characteristics of obstructive disease of the LMCA by angiography is challenging and limited in its accuracy. In contrast, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) provides accurate imaging of the coronary lumen as well as quantitative measurements and quantitative assessment of the vessel wall components. IVUS for LMCA PCI should be performed before, during, and after intervention; IVUS enhances every step in the procedure and is associated with a mortality advantage in comparison with angiographic guidance alone. In this review, we provide an update on LMCA PCI and the role of IVUS for lesion assessment and stent optimization. In addition, the latest clinical evidence of the benefits of IVUS-guided LMCA PCI as compared to angiography is reviewed.

Abstract
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) are intravascular imaging technologies widely used in the cardiac catheterization laboratory. The impact of these modalities for optimizing the acute and longer-term clinical impact following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is supported by a wealth of clinical evidence. Intravascular imaging provides unique information for enhanced lesion preparation, optimal stent sizing, recognizing post PCI complications, and the etiology of stent failure. This review compares and contrasts the key aspects of these imaging modalities during PCI.

Abstract
Intermediate coronary artery stenosis, defined as visual angiographic stenosis severity of between 30-70%, is present in up to one quarter of patients undergoing coronary angiography. Patients with this particular lesion subset represent a distinct clinical challenge, with operators often uncertain on the need for revascularization. Although international guidelines appropriately recommend physiological pressure-based assessment of these lesions utilizing either fractional flow reserve (FFR) or quantitative flow ratio (QFR), there are specific clinical scenarios and lesion subsets where the use of such indices may not be reliable. Intravascular imaging, mainly utilizing intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) represents an alternate and at times complementary diagnostic modality for the evaluation of intermediate coronary stenoses. Studies have attempted to validate these specific imaging measures with physiological markers of lesion-specific ischaemia with varied results. Intravascular imaging however also provides additional benefits that include portrayal of plaque morphology, guidance on stent implantation and sizing and may portend improved clinical outcomes. Looking forward, research in computational fluid dynamics now seeks to integrate both lesion-based physiology and anatomical assessment using intravascular imaging. This review will discuss the rationale and indications for the use of intravascular imaging assessment of intermediate lesions, while highlighting the current limitations and benefits to this approach.

Abstract
Aim: Complex left main (LM) bifurcation disease seems to be better approached by a planned double stent technique. Materials & methods: Medline search for articles including randomized trials, prospective series, large registries and retrospective studies >50 patients has been performed. Results: Double kissing crush demonstrated its superiority over culotte stenting and cross over, while other techniques such as the T-stenting and T-stent and Protrusion have not been extensively reported in LM setting. The nano inverted-T-stenting has provided evidences that the use of ultrathin strut stents and very minimal crush is beneficial for both the physiological and rheological properties. Conclusion: The double stenting techniques used in LM should be evaluated in terms of procedural differences and technical simplicity.

Abstract
Coronary artery bypass surgery has been the accepted treatment for left main coronary artery disease for over 50 years. Balloon angioplasty was later used then abandoned because of deaths likely due to restenosis or thrombotic occlusion. However, rapid innovations in drug-eluting stent designs leading to more biocompatible thin strut platforms with optimal drug elution profiles and further advances in modern pharmacotherapy involving potent P2Y12 inhibitors combined with utilization of intracoronary imaging and physiologic assessment for procedural planning and optimization have transformed percutaneous interventions into successful alternatives to coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) in selected LM anatomic territories. Herein, we provide an evidence-based practical guide on how to approach and perform LM percutaneous interventions (PCI).

Abstract
Background Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) offers tomographic images of the coronary vessels, allowing optimization of stent implantation at the time of PCI. However, the long‐term beneficial effect of IVUS over PCI guided by coronary angiography (CA) alone remains under question. We sought to investigate the outcomes of IVUS‐guided compared with CA‐guided PCI. Methods and Results We performed a comprehensive search of PubMed, Medline, and Cochrane Central Register, looking for randomized controlled trials and observational studies that compared PCI outcomes of IVUS with CA. Data were aggregated for the primary outcome measure using the random‐effects model as pooled risk ratio (RR). The primary outcomes were the rate of cardiovascular death, need for target lesion revascularization, occurrence of myocardial infarction, and rate of stent thrombosis. A total of 19 studies met the inclusion criteria, comprising 27 610 patients divided into IVUS (n=11 513) and CA (n=16 097). Compared with standard CA‐guided PCI, we found that the risks of cardiovascular death (RR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.54–0.73), myocardial infarction (RR, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.58–0.86), target lesion revascularization (RR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.70–0.94), and stent thrombosis (RR, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.41–0.79) were all significantly lower using IVUS guidance. Conclusions Compared with standard CA‐guided PCI, the use of IVUS imaging guidance to optimize stent implantation is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular death and major adverse events, such as myocardial infarction, target lesion revascularization, and stent thrombosis.

Abstract
Individual studies IVUS vs angiography-guided DES implantation studies, whether randomized clinical trials or registries are underpowered, to show a reduction in mortality, especially at 1 year of follow-up. However, either meta-analyses or the few studies with long-term (> 5 year) follow-up showed that IVUS guidance reduced mortality and improved patient survival, even with second-generation DES.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There have been no reviews regarding intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) catheter entrapment during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This study investigated the incidence, retrieval methods, and outcomes of IVUS catheter stuck within implanted stents. METHODS Between January 2015 and July 2018, a total of 794 consecutive patients underwent PCI for coronary artery disease. Among them, 705 patients underwent stent implantation using IVUS. The patients with IVUS catheter entrapment in an implanted stent were investigated. RESULTS Ten patients (1.4%) suffered from an IVUS catheter stuck in an implanted stent. Among them, 7 patients had very tortuous lesions while 5 patients had severely calcified lesions. Seven patients (70%) underwent placement of the 3rd generation drug-eluting stent (DES), and the stent diameters were ≤2.5mm among 8 patients (80%). Retrieval methods were the buddy wire technique, the double guide catheter technique, covering the exit port of IVUS catheter with a balloon catheter, and covering with GuideLiner® catheter (Vascular Solutions Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA). On multivariable analysis, the predictors of IVUS catheter entrapment were tortuous lesion [odds ratio (OR), 8.21; 95% confidence interval (CI), 2.19-30.7; p=0.002], 3rd generation DES (OR, 5.31; 95% CI, 1.08-26.1; p=0.021), and stent diameter ≤2.5mm (OR, 6.31; 95% CI, 1.29-30.8; p=0.010). Furthermore, we identified 6 cases of IVUS catheter entrapment through a systematic literature review. CONCLUSIONS The IVUS catheter was almost stuck in tortuous lesions and the 3rd generation DES with a small diameter. We could successfully retrieve it in all cases using various retrieval techniques.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To discuss the influence of coronary artery lesion of elderly patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) on left ventricular remodeling. METHODS Retrospective selection method was used to choose 80 elderly CHD patients who received coronary angiogram examination in Baoding First Central Hospital from January 2014 to February 2018 as the objects of study. According to coronary artery lesion, the patients were classified into single vessel lesion group (single vessel group) and multi-vessel lesion group (multi-vessel group, the number of lesion vessels≧2). Single vessel group included 60 patients, and multi-vessel group includes 20 patients. Intravascular unltrasound was applied to record coronary plaque property of all patients and transthoracic echocardiography was used to record left ventricular remodeling. Later correlation analysis was carried out. RESULTS The proportion of calcified plaque and mixed plaque was higher than that of single vessel group, and the differences had statistical significance (P<0.05). Left ventricular end diastolic volume (LVEDV) and left ventricular end-systolic volume (LVESV) of multi-vessel group were higher than that of single vessel group, while left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was lower than that of single vessel group. The differences had statistical significance (P<0.05). Linear correlation analysis showed coronary artery lesion was positively correlated with LVEF and calcified plaque (r=0.287, 0.371, P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed LVEF, calcified plaque and LDL-C were independent risk factors of multi-vessel coronary artery lesion of old CHD patients (P<0.05). CONCLUSION The number of coronary artery lesions is significantly correlated with left ventricular remodeling, and can increase the proportion of calcified plaque and mixed plaque, thus leading to left ventricular remodeling abnormity.

Abstract
Complex bifurcations have been suggested to be better approached by a planned double stent technique; however, recent randomized trials have shown better outcomes of provisional compared to planned two-stent strategy, in terms of both short-term efficacy and safety. In left main (LM) bifurcations, double kissing (DK)-Crush has demonstrated its superiority over Culotte and provisional-T in terms of restenosis and stent thrombosis, gaining respect as one of the most performant techniques for bifurcations stenting. On the other hand, the Nano-Crush technique has recently become part of the repertoire of double stenting techniques, providing evidence that the use of ultrathin strut stents and very minimal crush would be beneficial for both the physiological and rheological properties of the complex bifurcations, even in LM scenario, leading to a lower rate of thrombosis and restenosis at both side branch and true carina. Finally, the newest generation of ultrathin strut stents are gaining a reputation for its safe and effective use in LM treatment thanks to improved design with increased expansion rate capable of LM treatment up to 5-6 mm diameter. The modern crush techniques, such as DK-Crush and Nano-Crush, are providing excellent results on mid and long-term follow up, suggesting that minimal crushing obtained using ultra-thin stents is a good way to obtain surgical-like outcomes in the treatment of complex LM bifurcation disease.
