Safety and Efficacy of Orbital Atherectomy in the All-Comer Population: Mid-Term Results of the Lower Silesian Orbital Atherectomy Registry (LOAR). J Clin Med 2023; 12:5842. [PMID: 37762782 PMCID: PMC10532293 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12185842] [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: 08/11/2023] [Revised: 08/24/2023] [Accepted: 09/06/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary calcifications represent a challenging subset for the interventional cardiologist performing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and are well-established risk factors for adverse outcomes. Adequate plaque modification prior to stent implantation is critical to achieve an optimal outcome following PCI. Recently, a novel orbital atherectomy device has been introduced into clinical practice to modify calcified plaques. We evaluated the mid-term safety and efficacy of OA in a high-risk "all-comers" population. METHODS We evaluated 96 consecutive patients with severely calcified coronary lesions who underwent PCI facilitated by the orbital atherectomy device. RESULTS In-hospital MACCE was 5.2% without target lesion revascularization. At 6-month follow-up, the MACCE rate was 10.4% with a concomitant TLR rate of 1%. CONCLUSIONS Our mid-term data showed good safety and efficacy of orbital atherectomy as a plaque-modifying tool in an all-comers cohort with severely calcified coronary lesions.

Impact of intracoronary assessments on revascularization decisions: A contemporary evaluation. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2022; 100:955-963. [PMID: 36259740 DOI: 10.1002/ccd.30417] [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: 02/21/2022] [Accepted: 09/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/07/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the real-world implementation of intracoronary assessment (ICA) techniques and evaluate their impact on clinical decisions regarding the management of coronary artery disease (CAD) in contemporary practice. BACKGROUND Coronary angiogram is the gold standard used to diagnose vessel stenosis and guide percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI); however, it is limited by its two-dimensional imaging capabilities. ICA techniques like intravascular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography capture the vessel in three-dimensional images. Comparatively, fractional flow reserve provides information on the physiologic significance of coronary stenosis. Both techniques may improve PCI outcomes if they routinely change physician behavior. METHODS Patients who underwent ICA between August 2015 and March 2020 were included in the study. The primary outcome was the clinical impact of ICA on physician clinical decision making of a stenotic vessel. The secondary outcome was the clinical changes that occurred following ICA. RESULTS A total of 1135 patients were included in the study. Physiologic assessment (PA) and image assessment (IA) were performed in 61.4% and 38.6% respectively. Management plans were changed in 38.1% and 23.9% of patients who received PA and IA. Over half of the management change resulted in physicians deciding to not intervene on the stenotic vessel. One-year outcome of these decisions showed no significant increase in major adverse cardiac events (hazard ratio [HR], 0.68; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.40-1.15; p = 0.15) or unplanned revascularization (HR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.35-1.74; p = 0.55) suggesting reliance on PA/IA data did not increase risk. CONCLUSION Selected ICA alters physician management of CAD in one-third of patients being evaluated for revascularization-typically leading to fewer interventions. All cause death is numerally lower in patients that received a change in management. However, the 1-year outcome of these altered decisions does not appear to be significantly different.

Intravascular Lithotripsy as a Novel Treatment Method for Calcified Unprotected Left Main Diseases-Comparison to Rotational Atherectomy-Short-Term Outcomes. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19159011. [PMID: 35897381 PMCID: PMC9330248 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19159011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2022] [Revised: 07/19/2022] [Accepted: 07/22/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
Background: The unprotected calcified Left Main disease represents a high-risk subset for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and it is associated with a higher number of periprocedural complications and an increased rate of in-stent thrombosis and restenosis. Adequate lesion preparation plays a crucial role in achieving a favorable PCI outcome. Rotational Atherectomy (RA) is a well-established plaque-modifying method; nevertheless, the data regarding the effectiveness of RA in LM diseases is scarce. Recently, the novel ShockWave-Intravascular-Lithotripsy(S-IVL) device has been introduced to the PCI armamentarium in order to modify the calcified plaque. Methods: We performed a retrospective evaluation of 44 consecutive subjects who underwent the LM-PCI, and who were supported by either the RA or S-IVL. Results: The Rota group consisted of 29 patients with a mean syntax score of 28.0 ± 7.5. The S-IVL group was composed of 15 subjects with a syntax score of 23.3 ± 13.0 There were no statistical differences regarding MACE between the RA and Shockwave arms of the in-hospital group (10.3% vs. 6.7%), or in the six month (17.2% vs. 13.3%) follow-up group. Conclusions: RA and S-IVL could be safe and effective therapeutic strategies for calcified LM disease. Further studies with a higher number of participants and longer follow-up times are warranted to establish the potential benefits of RA and S-IVL for the management of LM stenosis.

Abstract
Although coronary angiography has been well established as a standard modality for percutaneous coronary intervention guidance, recent developments in intravascular imaging techniques, such as intravascular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography, have become increasingly adopted, enabling direct detailed lesion visualization, including lesions beyond the scope of assessment using exclusively angiography. Intravascular imaging modalities have been reported to potentially improve both short- and long-term percutaneous intervention outcomes. This review aims to provide a comparative summary of recent advancements in research regarding the clinical applications and outcomes of intravascular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography.

A prediction model based on platelet parameters, lipid levels, and angiographic characteristics to predict in-stent restenosis in coronary artery disease patients implanted with drug-eluting stents. Lipids Health Dis 2021; 20:118. [PMID: 34587955 PMCID: PMC8480001 DOI: 10.1186/s12944-021-01553-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2021] [Accepted: 09/10/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study was aimed to establish a prediction model for in-stent restenosis (ISR) in subjects who had undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DESs). MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted. From September 2010 to September 2013, we included 968 subjects who had received coronary follow-up angiography after primary PCI. The logistic regression analysis, receiver operator characteristic (ROC) analysis, nomogram analysis, Hosmer-Lemeshow χ2 statistic, and calibration curve were applied to build and evaluate the prediction model. RESULTS Fifty-six patients (5.79%) occurred ISR. The platelet distribution width (PDW), total cholesterol (TC), systolic blood pressure (SBP), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and lesion vessels had significant differences between ISR and non-ISR groups (all P < 0.05). And these variables were independently associated with ISR (all P < 0.05). Furthermore, they were identified as predictors (all AUC > 0.5 and P < 0.05) to establish a prediction model. The prediction model showed a good value of area under curve (AUC) (95%CI): 0.72 (0.64-0.80), and its optimized cut-off was 6.39 with 71% sensitivity and 65% specificity to predict ISR. CONCLUSION The incidence of ISR is 5.79% in CAD patients with DES implantation in the Xinjiang population, China. The prediction model based on PDW, SBP, TC, LDL-C, and lesion vessels was an effective model to predict ISR in CAD patients with DESs implantation.

Abstract
Objective. Atherosclerosis is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity. Optical endoscopy, ultrasound, and X-ray offer minimally invasive imaging assessments but have limited sensitivity for characterizing disease and therapeutic response. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) endoscopy is a newer idea employing tiny catheter-mounted detectors connected to the MRI scanner. It can see through vessel walls and provide soft-tissue sensitivity, but its slow imaging speed limits practical applications. Our goal is high-resolution MRI endoscopy with real-time imaging speeds comparable to existing modalities. Methods. Intravascular (3 mm) transmit-receive MRI endoscopes were fabricated for highly undersampled radial-projection MRI in a clinical 3-tesla MRI scanner. Iterative nonlinear reconstruction was accelerated using graphics processor units connected via a single ethernet cable to achieve true real-time endoscopy visualization at the scanner. MRI endoscopy was performed at 6-10 frames/sec and 200-300 μm resolution in human arterial specimens and porcine vessels ex vivo and in vivo and compared with fully sampled 0.3 frames/sec and three-dimensional reference scans using mutual information (MI) and structural similarity (3-SSIM) indices. Results. High-speed MRI endoscopy at 6-10 frames/sec was consistent with fully sampled MRI endoscopy and histology, with feasibility demonstrated in vivo in a large animal model. A 20-30-fold speed-up vs. 0.3 frames/sec reference scans came at a cost of ~7% in MI and ~45% in 3-SSIM, with reduced motion sensitivity. Conclusion. High-resolution MRI endoscopy can now be performed at frame rates comparable to those of X-ray and optical endoscopy and could provide an alternative to existing modalities, with MRI's advantages of soft-tissue sensitivity and lack of ionizing radiation.

Abstract
Premature coronary artery disease (CAD) studies rarely involve coronary plaque characterization. We characterize coronary plaque tissue by radiofrequency intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) in patients with premature CAD. From July 2015 to December 2017, 220 patients from the Department of Cardiology, Affiliated Hangzhou First People’s Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine with first occurrence of angina or myocardial infarction within 3 months were enrolled. Patients with premature CAD (n = 47, males aged < 55 years, and females aged < 65 years) or later CAD (n = 155) were retrospectively compared for cardiovascular risk factors, laboratory examination findings, coronary angiography data, gray-scale IVUS, and iMap-IVUS. The mean age was 53.53 ± 7.24 vs. 70.48 ± 8.74 years (p < 0.001). The groups were similar for traditional coronary risk factors except homocysteine (18.60 ± 5.15 vs. 17.08 ± 4.27 µmol/L, p = 0.043). After matching for baseline characteristics, LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) was higher for premature CAD than later CAD (2.50 ± 0.96 vs. 2.17 ± 0.80 mmol/L, p = 0.019). Before the matching procedure, the premature CAD group had shorter target lesion length [18.50 (12.60–32.00) vs. 27.90 (18.70–37.40) mm, p = 0.002], less plaque volume [175.59 (96.60–240.50) vs. 214.73 (139.74–330.00) mm3, p = 0.013] than the later CAD group. After the matching procedure, the premature CAD group appeared to be less plaque burden (72.69 ± 9.99 vs. 74.85 ± 9.80%, p = 0.005), and positive remodeling (1.03 ± 0.12 vs. 0.94 ± 0.18, p = 0.034), and lower high risk feature incidence (p = 0.006) than the later CAD group. At the plaque’s minimum lumen, premature CAD had more fibrotic (p < 0.001), less necrotic (p = 0.001) and less calcified areas (p = 0.012). Coronary plaque tissue was more fibrotic with less necrotic and calcified components in premature than in later CAD, and the range and degree of atherosclerosis were significantly lower.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Intravascular photoacoustic (IVPA) imaging is being developed to image atherosclerotic plaques, a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. However, the safety of this imaging modality, which requires repeated irradiation with short laser pulses, has not yet been investigated. This study has two objectives. First, determine in vitro the limit of cumulative fluence that can be applied to cells before death at IVPA relevant wavelengths. Second, evaluate if high single pulse fluences are a potential cause of cell death during IVPA imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS Experiments were conducted using endothelial cells, macrophages, and smooth muscle cells. The cumulative fluence experiments were conducted at 1064 and 1197 nm, using a high pulse repetition frequency laser. Cells were irradiated with a wide range of cumulative fluences and evaluated for cell death. The thresholds for death were compared to the maximum expected clinical cumulative fluence. To evaluate the effect of single pulse fluences, cells were irradiated at 1064, 1210, and 1720 nm. Light was delivered at a range of pulse energies to emulate the fluences that cells would be exposed to during clinical IVPA imaging. RESULTS At 1064 nm, all three cell types remained viable at cumulative fluences above the maximum expected clinical cumulative fluence, which is calculated based on common IVPA imaging protocols. At 1197 nm, cells were viable near or just below the maximum expected clinical cumulative fluence, with some cell type to cell type variation. All three cell types remained viable after irradiation with high single pulse fluences at all three wavelengths. CONCLUSION The cumulative fluence experiments indicate that safety considerations are likely to put constraints on the amount of irradiation that can be used in IVPA imaging protocols. However, this study also indicates that it will be possible to use IVPA imaging safely, since cumulative fluences could be reduced by as much as two orders of magnitude below the maximum expected clinical cumulative fluence by varying the imaging protocol, albeit at the expense of image quality. The single pulse fluence experiments indicate that cell death from single pulse fluence is not likely during IVPA imaging. Thus, future studies should focus on heat accumulation as the likely mechanism of tissue damage. Lasers Surg. Med. 51:466-474, 2019. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) due to Takayasu arteritis (TA) is rare. This article reports a case of severe involvement of multiple coronary arteries in a young woman. She was treated with coronary artery bypass grafting and had an early venous graft stenosis despite immunosuppressants. She became asymptomatic one year after a drug-eluting stent placement. This report shows the complexity of the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to TA with complex CAD.

Abstract
AIMS This study aimed to investigate the progression and vascular shrinkage of vulnerable plaque lesions with a plaque burden at least 70% among patients with coronary artery disease by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). METHODS Fifty-six OCT-identified vulnerable plaques from 47 patients were included among coronary angiography-identified nonculprit/nontarget lesions. Serial IVUS images were used to assess plaque progression and vascular shrinkage. RESULTS Thirty-five small vulnerable plaques (plaque burden <70%, group A) and 21 large vulnerable plaques (plaque burden ≥70%, group B) were identified. The IVUS results at baseline show that mean plaque areas (P < 0.001) and the percentage atheroma volume (PAV) (P < 0.0001) were greater and the minimal lumen area (P < 0.0001) was smaller in group B. The absolute and relative changes in the PAV and mean plaque area from baseline to follow-up were not significantly different. However, the lesions exhibited vessel shrinkage [the mean external elastic membrane (EEM) area (P = 0.02) and mean lumen area (P = 0.03) were significantly smaller in group B] from baseline to follow-up. Patients in group B also exhibited clinical events (recurrent angina symptoms) during the follow-up period. Positive correlations were found between changes in the mean plaque area and the mean EEM area in large vulnerable plaques (r = 0.61, P < 0.0001) and between changes in the mean EEM area and the mean lumen area in large vulnerable plaques (r = 0.61, P < 0.0001). CONCLUSION Vulnerable plaque progression was not different between small and large vulnerable plaques. However, large vulnerable plaque lesions tended to exhibit vascular shrinkage, which is possible a cause of coronary artery lumen loss in patients with large vulnerable plaques.

A serial 3- and 9-year optical coherence tomography assessment of vascular healing response to sirolimus- and paclitaxel-eluting stents. Int J Cardiovasc Imaging 2018; 35:9-21.

Abstract
Early-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) have been demonstrated to delay vascular healing. Limited optical coherence tomography (OCT) data on the very long-term neointimal response after DES implantation are available. The aim of this study was a serial OCT assessment of neointimal thickness, stent strut coverage, malapposition, and protrusion as markers of neointimal response at 3 and 9 years after implantation of sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) and paclitaxel-eluting stents (PES). In this single-centre, longitudinal study consecutive patients undergoing elective PCI with SES or PES were included. OCT analysis was performed after 3 and 9 years by the independent core laboratory. A total of 22 subjects (8 SES and 14 PES) underwent an OCT assessment at 3 and 9 years post index procedure. The lumen, neointimal and malapposition area and the neointimal thickness (SES ∆50 µm, p = 0.195, PES ∆10 µm, p = 0.951) did not change significantly over the 6 year follow-up. No differences in the incidence of uncovered, malapposed or protruding struts were found in each type of stent. At 3 and 9 years after PCI, implantation of early-generation SES and PES may be associated with similar neointimal thickness, strut coverage, malapposition and protrusion, as assessed by serial OCT examination among patients with uneventful follow-up at 3 years post procedure. The small size of the study warrants judicious interpretation of our results and confirmation in larger multimodality imaging studies, including patients treated with contemporary stent platforms.

Abstract
AIMS Prior studies using stress myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI), which examined the association between obstructive epicardial coronary disease and presence of myocardial ischemia did not provide a detailed assessment on a regional level. We examined this relationship in a large population of patients in whom the coronary anatomy was defined by invasive coronary angiography. METHODS We retrospectively extracted details on individuals undergoing MPI with single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) who had coronary angiography within 12 months. A 17-segment model for native coronary anatomy and a 7-region model for myocardial perfusion were used with a dedicated matching algorithm. RESULTS A total of 2564 patients were included, yielding a total of 6279 stenoses matched with 17 948 myocardial regions. From such a cohort, 151 (5.9%) patients had normal perfusion, 1878 (73.2%) had myocardial ischemia (reversible defects), 260 (10.1%) had myocardial necrosis (scar or fixed defects), and 275 (10.7%) had ischemia and necrosis. At per-patient analysis, significant angiographic disease was more common in the ischemic group (prevalence between 69.6 and 80.0%) than other groups. At per-region analysis, abnormal perfusion in the coronary-specific regions varied depending on location of stenosis; it was 96% for left main disease, 81% for proximal left anterior descending disease, 85% for proximal left circumflex disease, and 82% for proximal right coronary artery disease and <60% for posterior descending artery disease. CONCLUSION The correlation between significant coronary stenosis and presence of corresponding regional perfusion abnormality depends on the location of the lesion and the corresponding myocardial region.
