Abstract
Robotic percutaneous coronary intervention (R-PCI) is a novel approach to performing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) whereby the operator can utilise remotely controlled technology to manipulate guidewires and catheter devices. This enables the procedure to be undertaken from within a radiation-shielded cockpit. Success in early trials has led to the release of commercially available robotic platforms which have now received regulatory approval and are available for use in clinical practice. Recent trials evaluating R-PCI have demonstrated high technical success rates with low complication rates. Despite this, a significant number of cases, particularly those with complex anatomy, still require at least partial conversion to a manual procedure. Advantages of R-PCI include accurate stent placement, reduced operator radiation exposure and a presumed reduction in orthopedic injuries. Limitations include current incompatibility with certain intravascular imaging catheters and the inability to manipulate multiple guidewires and stents simultaneously. Patients presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction requiring primary-PCI have also largely been excluded from existing R-PCI studies. Given these caveats, R-PCI remains a novel technology and has yet to become commonplace in cardiac catheterisation laboratories, however with increasing safety and feasibility data emerging, it is possible that R-PCI may form part of standard practice in the future.

Abstract
Final stent dimensions remain an important predictor of restenosis, target vessel revascularisation (TVR) and subacute stent thrombosis (ST), even in the drug-eluting stent (DES) era. Stent balloons are usually semi-compliant and thus even high-pressure inflation may not achieve uniform or optimal stent expansion. Post-dilatation with non-compliant (NC) balloons after stent deployment has been shown to enhance stent expansion and could reduce TVR and ST. Based on supporting evidence and in the absence of large prospective randomised outcome-based trials, post-dilatation with an NC balloon to achieve optimal stent expansion and maximal luminal area is a logical technical recommendation, particularly in complex lesion subsets.

The duration of balloon inflation affects the luminal diameter of coronary segments after bioresorbable vascular scaffolds deployment. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2015; 15:169. [PMID: 26654975 PMCID: PMC4676860 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-015-0163-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2015] [Accepted: 12/04/2015] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Adequate expansion is critical to achieve optimal Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffolds (BVS) apposition to the vessel wall. However, compared to metallic stents, BVS present different mechanical properties. Hence, slow deployment and maintenance of balloon inflation for at least 30" is recommended for BVS implantation. However, since no evidences are available demonstrating the superiority of a longer balloon dilatation time, the implantation technique is highly variable among different centers. METHODS A total of 24 BVS-treated lesions were included in the present analysis. After BVS deployment at 12 atmosphere (ATM) the balloon was rapidly deflated and scaffold expansion was documented with an angiogram. The same balloon was then inflated again and kept at 12 ATM for 30". Finally, a further angiogram was obtained to evaluate BVS expansion. Quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) was performed at each step. RESULTS A significant increase of minimal luminal diameter (MLD)-to-reference scaffold diameter (RSD) ratio (MLD to RSD Ration, MR-Ratio) from 0.70 ± 0.10 after initial stent deployment to 0.79 ± 0.10 after the 30"-long balloon dilation was observed (p < 0.001). Of note, this result was consistent across all sub-segments, as well as across almost all lesion subgroups. A substantial reduction in the prevalence of residual stenosis from 29 % to 17 % was registered after the 30"-long dilation. CONCLUSIONS Our results strongly support the maintenance of balloon inflation for at least 30" during BVS deployment to achieve optimal scaffold expansion and minimize the occurrence of residual stenosis.

Intravascular Ultrasound and Angiographic Predictors of In-Stent Restenosis of Chronic Total Occlusion Lesions. PLoS One 2015; 10:e0140421. [PMID: 26465755 PMCID: PMC4605613 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0140421] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2015] [Accepted: 09/15/2015] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Despite the benefits of successful percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) for chronic total occlusion (CTO) lesions, PCIs of CTO lesions still carry a high rate of adverse events, including in-stent restenosis (ISR). Because previous reports have not specifically investigated the intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) predictors of ISR in CTO lesions, we focused on these predictors. We included 126 patients who underwent successful PCIs, using drug-eluting stents, and post-PCI IVUS of CTO lesions. Patient and lesion characteristics were analyzed to elucidate the ISR predictors. In each lesion, an average of 1.7 ± 0.7 (mean length, 46.4 ± 20.3 mm) stents were used. At 9 months follow-up, 14 (11%) patients demonstrated ISR, and 8 (6.3%) underwent target lesion revascularization. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the independent predictors of ISR were the post-PCI minimal luminal diameter (MLD) and the stent expansion ratio (SER; minimal stent cross-sectional area (CSA) over the nominal CSA of the implanted stent), measured using quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) and IVUS, respectively. A receiver operating characteristic analysis indicated that the best post-PCI MLD and SER cut-off values for predicting ISR were 2.4 mm (area under the curve [AUC], 0.762; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.639–0.885) and 70% (AUC, 0.714; 95% CI, 0.577–0.852), respectively. Lesions with post-PCI MLD and SER values less than these threshold values were at a higher risk of ISR, with an odds ratio of 23.3 (95% CI, 2.74–198.08), compared with lesions having larger MLD and SER values. Thus, the potential predictors of ISR, after PCI of CTO lesions, are the post-PCI MLD and SER values. The ISR rate was highest in lesions with a post-PCI MLD ≤2.4 mm and an SER ≤70%.

Abstract
AIMS The study sought to compare the acute gain and two-year follow-up late lumen loss (LLL) between the Absorb bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) and the analogous everolimus-eluting metallic stent (EES). The current analysis included all the patients recruited in the ABSORB Cohort B and SPIRIT II trials implanted with a single 3.0×18 mm device (Absorb BVS or EES) who underwent serial angiographic examinations at baseline and at two-year follow-up. The acute gain was defined as the difference between post- and preprocedural minimal lumen diameter (MLD). The in-stent/scaffold LLL was calculated as the difference in stent/scaffold segment between the post-procedural MLD and follow-up MLD. Thirty-three patients (33 lesions) implanted with the Absorb BVS, and 26 patients (28 lesions) implanted with the EES were studied. The acute gain was similar in the Absorb BVS group (1.23±0.38 mm) compared to the EES group (1.32±0.26 mm, p=0.29). The in-stent/scaffold LLL at two-year follow-up in the Absorb BVS group (0.26±0.19 mm) was also similar compared to the EES group (0.22±0.22 mm, p=0.29). Although the two groups had similar two-year clinical outcomes (major adverse cardiac events: Absorb BVS: 6.1% vs. EES: 0.0%), patients treated with the Absorb BVS exhibited a significantly lower two-year in-stent/scaffold MLD compared to the EES (2.02±0.26 mm vs. 2.22±0.34 mm, p=0.01). Although BVS and EES demonstrated similar two-year clinical outcomes, patients treated with the Absorb BVS exhibited a significantly lower two-year in-stent/scaffold MLD compared to patients treated with the EES. Appropriately powered randomised trials are necessary to confirm these exploratory results and evaluate their prognostic and clinical significance.

Abstract
Stent deployments with geographical miss (GM) are associated with increased risk of target-vessel revascularization and periprocedural myocardial infarction. The aim of the current study was to investigate the underlying biomechanical mechanisms for adverse events with GM. The hypothesis is that stent deployment with GM [longitudinal GM, or LGM (i.e., stent not centered on the lesion); or radial GM, RGM (i.e., stent oversizing)] results in unfavorable fluid wall shear stress (WSS), WSS gradient (WSSG), oscillatory shear index (OSI), and intramural circumferential wall stress (CWS). Three-dimensional computational models of stents and plaque were created using a computer-assisted design package. The models were then solved with validated finite element and computational fluid dynamic packages. The dynamic process of large deformation stent deployment was modeled to expand the stent to the desired vessel size. Stent deployed with GM resulted in a 45% increase in vessel CWS compared with stents that were centered and fully covered the lesion. A 20% oversized stent resulted in 72% higher CWS than a correct sized stent. The linkages between the struts had much higher stress than the main struts (i.e., 180 MPa vs. 80 MPa). Additionally, LGM and RGM reduced endothelial WSS and increased WSSG and OSI. The simulations suggest that both LGM and RGM adversely reduce WSS but increase WSSG, OSI, and CWS. These findings highlight the potential mechanical mechanism of the higher adverse events and underscore the importance of stent positioning and sizing for improved clinical outcome.

Abstract
Background Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) stent inflation pressure correlates to angiographic lumen improvement and stent expansion but the relation to outcome is not clarified. Using comprehensive registry data our aim was to evaluate how stent inflation pressure influences restenosis, stent thrombosis and death following PCI. Methods We evaluated all consecutive coronary stent implantations in Sweden during 46 months from 2008 using data from the Swedish Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty Registry (SCAAR). We used logistic regression and Cox proportional hazard modeling to estimate risk of outcomes with different balloon pressures. Results In total, 93 697 stents were eligible for analysis and divided into five different pressure interval groups: ≤15 atm, 16–17 atm, 18–19 atm, 20–21 atm and ≥22 atm. The risks of stent thrombosis and restenosis were significantly higher in the ≤15 atm, 18–19 atm and ≥22 atm groups (but not in the 16–17 atm group) compared to the 20–21 atm group. There were no differences in mortality. Post-dilatation was associated with a higher restenosis risk ratio (RR) of 1.22 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.14–1.32, P<0.001) but stent thrombosis did not differ statistically between procedures with or without post-dilatation. The risk of death was lower following post-dilatation (RR 0.81 (CI 0.71–0.93) P = 0.003) and the difference compared to no post-dilatation was seen immediately after PCI. Conclusion Our retrospective study of stent inflation pressure identified a possible biological pattern—the risks of stent thrombosis and of restenosis appeared to be higher with low and very high pressures. Post-dilatation might increase restenosis risk.
