Abstract
Neoatherosclerosis (NA) within stents has become an important clinical problem after coronary artery stent implantation. In-stent restenosis and in-stent thrombosis are the two major complications following coronary stent placement and seriously affect patient prognosis. As the common pathological basis of these two complications, NA plaques, unlike native atherosclerotic plaques, often grow around residual oxidized lipids and stent struts. The main components are foam cells formed by vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) engulfing oxidized lipids at lipid residue sites. Current research mainly focuses on optical coherence tomography (OCT) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), but the specific pathogenesis of NA is still unclear. A thorough understanding of the pathogenesis and pathological features of NA provides a theoretical basis for clinical treatment. This article reviews the previous research of our research group and the current situation of domestic and foreign research.

Diabetes Metab Syndr Obes 2024; 17:2737-2746. [PMID: 39072346 PMCID: PMC11283261 DOI: 10.2147/dmso.s464490] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2024] [Accepted: 06/18/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) is a reliable indicator for predicting the prognosis of patients with coronary heart disease (CAD) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, its influence on patients with in-stent restenosis (ISR) is unclear. This study was designed to evaluate the association between the TyG index and the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) after PCI in patients with ISR. Methods This retrospective study included 1654 patients who underwent PCI between 2016 and 2022 at Nanjing First Hospital. Patients were stratified into three groups based on the quantile level of the TyG index. The TyG index was determined as Ln (triglycerides [mg/dL] × fasting plasma glucose [mg/dL]/2). Results Individuals with the highest TyG index showed an increased risk of MACEs compared to those with the lowest level of the TyG index (HR 1.60; 95% CI 1.11-2.30; P = 0.01). When analyzing the TyG index as a continuous variable, each standard deviation increase was associated with an HR of 1.51 (95% CI: 1.11-2.05; P = 0.01). For the male subgroup and the diabetes subgroup, this trend was even more pronounced (HR 1.269; 95% CI 1.055-1.527; P = 0.011; HR 1.385; 95% CI 1.125-1.706; P = 0.002). Additionally, the landmark analysis showed that patients with the highest level of TyG had an increased risk of MACEs 6 months after the PCI (P = 0.019). Conclusion Elevated TyG index is associated with increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events in patients with ISR, and the extent of increase in the risk is more significant in male patients with diabetes.

Abstract
Engaging intracoronary imaging (IC) techniques such as intravascular ultrasound or optical coherence tomography enables the precise description of vessel architecture. These imaging modalities have well-established roles in providing guidance and optimizing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) outcomes. Furthermore, IC is increasingly recognized for its diagnostic capabilities, as it has the unique capacity to reveal vessel wall characteristics that may not be apparent through angiography alone. This manuscript thoroughly reviews the contemporary landscape of IC in clinical practice. Focused on current methodologies, the review explores the utility and advancements in IC techniques. Emphasizing their role in clarifying coronary pathophysiology, guiding PCI, and optimizing patient outcomes, the manuscript critically evaluates the strengths and limitations of each modality. Additionally, the integration of IC into routine clinical workflows and its impact on decision-making processes are discussed. By synthesizing the latest evidence, this review provides valuable insights for clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals involved in the dynamic field of interventional cardiology.

Abstract
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the main treatment for patients with severe coronary vascular stenosis. However, In-stent neo-atherosclerosis (ISNA) is an important clinical complication in patients after PCI, which is mainly caused by a persistent inflammatory response and endothelial insufficiency. In the cardiovascular field, magnesium-based scaffolds stand out due to their properties. Magnesium plays a key role in regulating cardiovascular physiology. Magnesium deficiency can promote endothelial cell dysfunction, which contributes to the formation of atherosclerosis. Since astragaloside IV (AS‑IV) has been proven to have potent cardioprotective effects, we asked whether high levels of magnesium cooperate with AS‑IV might have effects on endothelial function and ISNA. We performed in vitro experiments on endothelial cells. Being treated with different concentrations of magnesium or/and AS-IV, the cell growth and migration were detected by CCK-8 and wound healing assay, respectively. The pro-inflammatory factors tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin 6 (IL-6), adhesion molecule vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), and NF-kB were determined by qRT-PCR, ELISA kits or western blot. Results showed that high magnesium and AS-IV improved endothelial function, including promoting cell migration and decreasing the content of TNF-α, IL-6, VCAM-1, and NF-kB. With the supplement of AS-IV, additive magnesium maintains cell proliferation, migration, and function of endothelial cells. In conclusion, these findings suggest that high magnesium and AS‑IV could improve vascular endothelial dysfunction. Early detection and treatment for neo-atherosclerosis may be of great clinical significance for improving stent implantation efficacy and long-term prognosis.

Abstract
The study objective was to investigate the relations between serum endothelin-1 and in-stent restenosis in vertebral artery stenting. Sixty-eight patients undergoing re-examination of vertebral artery stenting in the Department of Cerebrovascular Disease, Hangzhou Third People's Hospital, between April 2019 and October 2022, were invited to participate. According to the presence of vertebral artery stenting, patients were divided into the restenosis (n = 19) or non-restenosis (n = 49) groups. General clinical data and endothelin-1 levels were compared between the groups. Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the relations between endothelin-1 level and risk for in-stent restenosis. Receiver operating characteristic curves were drawn to test the diagnostic value of serum endothelin-1 level for in-stent restenosis. Compared with the non-restenosis group, restenosis group levels of low-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, and endothelin-1 were significantly higher (p < 0.05) Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that endothelin-1, stent length, and low-density lipoprotein were independently associated with in-stent restenosis (odds ratio = 1.502, 95% confidence interval: 0.042 ~ 0.212, p = 0.000; odds ratio = 1.899, 95% confidence interval: 1.116 ~ 2.237, p = 0.000; odds ratio = 1.899, 95% confidence interval: 1.228 ~ 3.337, p = 0.001, respectively). Area under the curve for serum endothelin-1 in the diagnosis of vertebral artery in-stent restenosis was 0.938. The best diagnostic cut-off value was 11.94 ng/L. Sensitivity was 89.5%. Specificity was 85.7%. These cumulative data indicate that endothelin-1 level is independently associated with in-stent restenosis.

Abstract
Despite ongoing progress in stent technology and deployment techniques, in-stent restenosis (ISR) still remains a major issue following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and accounts for 10.6% of all interventions in the United States. With the continuous rise in ISR risk factors such as obesity and diabetes, along with an increase in the treatment of complex lesions with high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (CHIP), a substantial growth in ISR burden is expected. This review aims to provide insight into the mechanisms, classification, and management of ISR, with a focus on exploring innovative approaches to tackle this complication comprehensively, along with a special section addressing the approach to complex calcified lesions.

Abstract
The injury-triggered reocclusion (restenosis) of arteries treated with angioplasty to relieve atherosclerotic obstruction remains a challenge due to limitations of existing therapies. A combination of magnetic guidance and affinity-mediated arterial binding can pave the way to a new approach for treating restenosis by enabling efficient site-specific localization of therapeutic agents formulated in magnetizable nanoparticles (MNPs) and by maintaining their presence at the site of arterial injury throughout the vulnerability period of the disease. In these studies, we investigated a dual-targeted antirestenotic strategy using drug-loaded biodegradable MNPs, surface-modified with a fibrin-avid peptide to provide affinity for the injured arterial wall. The MNPs were characterized with regard to their magnetic properties, efficiency of surface functionalization, disassembly kinetics, and interaction with fibrin-coated substrates. The antiproliferative effects of MNPs formulated with paclitaxel were studied in vitro using a fetal cell line (A10) exhibiting the defining characteristics of neointimal smooth muscle cells. Animal studies examined the efficiency of combined (physical/affinity) MNP targeting to stented arteries in Sprague Dawley rats using fluorimetric analysis and fluorescent in vivo imaging. The antirestenotic effect of the dual-targeted therapy was determined in a rat model of in-stent restenosis 28 days post-treatment. The results showed that MNPs can be efficiently functionalized to exhibit a strong binding affinity using a simple two-step chemical process, without adversely affecting their size distribution, magnetic properties, or antiproliferative potency. Dual-targeted delivery strongly enhanced the localization and retention of MNPs in stented carotid arteries up to 7 days post-treatment, while minimizing redistribution of the carrier particles to peripheral tissues. Of the two targeting elements, the effect of magnetic guidance was shown to dominate arterial localization (p = 0.004 vs. 0.084 for magnetic targeting and peptide modification, respectively), consistent with the magnetically driven MNP accumulation step defining the extent of the ultimate affinity-mediated arterial binding and subsequent retention of the carrier particles. The enhanced arterial uptake and sustained presence of paclitaxel-loaded MNPs at the site of stent deployment were associated with a strong inhibition of restenosis in the rat carotid stenting model, with both the neointima-to-media ratio (N/M) and % stenosis markedly reduced in the dual-targeted treatment group (1.62 ± 0.2 and 21 ± 3 vs. 2.17 ± 0.40 and 29 ± 6 in the control animals; p < 0.05). We conclude that the dual-targeted delivery of antirestenotic agents formulated in fibrin-avid MNPs can provide a new platform for the safe and effective treatment of in-stent restenosis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Conventional vein grafts have a high risk of thrombosis and early atherosclerosis. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in conventional vein grafts is associated with a higher incidence of late adverse cardiac events. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term results after PCI in saphenous vein grafts (SVG) harvested with the no-touch technique compared to the conventional technique. METHODS This was a single-center, retrospective, cohort study, based on data from the Swedeheart register. The inclusion criterion was individuals who underwent CABG using different vein graft techniques between January 1992 and July 2020, and who required a PCI in SVGs between January 2006 and July 2020. The primary end point was long-term in-stent restenosis. The secondary endpoints were long-term major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and 1-year re-hospitalization rates. The associations between the graft types and the endpoints were evaluated using the Fine and Gray competing-risk regression analysis. RESULTS The study included 346 individuals (67 no-touch, 279 conventional). The mean clinical follow-up time was 6.4 years with a standard deviation of 3.7 years. The long-term in-stent restenosis rate for the no-touch grafts was 3.2% compared to 18.7% for the conventional grafts (p < .01), with a subdistribution hazard ratio (SHR) of 0.16 (p = .010). The long-term MACE rate was 27.0% in the no-touch group and 48.3% in the conventional group (p < .01) with a SHR of 0.53 (p = .017). The short-term results were similar in both groups. CONCLUSIONS Percutaneous coronary intervention in a no-touch vein graft was associated with statistically significantly fewer in-stent restenoses and MACE at long-term follow-up compared to a conventional SVG.

The adverse impact of clinical, lesion, and procedural characteristics on TLR in patients with elevated TG and reduced HDL-C levels was also assessed. METHODS We retrospectively collected data on 3,014 lesions from 2,022 consecutive patients, who underwent EES implantation at Koto Memorial Hospital. Atherogenic dyslipidemia (AD) is defined as a combination of non-fasting serum TG ≥ 175 mg/dL and HDL-C <40 mg/dL. RESULTS AD was observed in 212 lesions in 139 (6.9%) patients. The cumulative incidence of clinically driven TLR was significantly higher in patients with AD than in those without AD (hazard ratio [HR] 2.31, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.43-3.73, P=0.0006). Subgroup analysis showed that AD increased the risk of TLR with the implantation of small stents (≤ 2.75 mm). Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that AD was an independent predictor of TLR in the small EES stratum (adjusted HR 3.00, 95% CI 1.53-5.93, P=0.004), whereas the incidence of TLR was similar in the non-small-EES stratum, irrespective of the presence or absence of AD. CONCLUSIONS Patients with AD had a higher risk of TLR after EES implantation, and this risk was greater for lesions treated with small stents.

Abstract
Key Clinical Message The morphology of in-stent restenosis (ISR) in drug eluting stents varies greatly from that of bare metal stents. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a useful aid for identifying the nature of ISR and planning the treatment accordingly, which may be by intravascular lithotripsy, cutting balloon or Rotablator, which can be used upfront if OCT shows calcified neoatherosclerosis. Abstract Restenosis is the decrease in the diameter of the vessel lumen after the performance of percutaneous intervention (PCI), which may or may not involve the implantation of a stent. The morphology of in-stent restenosis (ISR) in drug eluting stents (DES) vary greatly from that of bare metal stents (BMS). We present the case of a 60-years-old lady, who was a follow up case of PCI of the left anterior descending artery with DES and left circumflex artery using BMS 16 years ago. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) revealed both neoatherosclerosis and neointimal hyperplasia in both DES as well as BMS. The morphology of ISR in DES differed from that of BMS. PCI and pharmacological strategies form the main stream of management in case of neointimal hyperplasia. Detection of pattern of ISR on OCT can direct the management of a particular patient, which may be by the use of adjunct devices like intravascular lithotripsy, cutting balloon and Rotablator, which can be used upfront if OCT shows calcified neoatherosclerosis.

Abstract
Introduction Morphological features of neointimal tissue play a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of in-stent restenosis (ISR) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This study was designed to qualitatively and quantitatively assess neointimal characteristics of lesions using optical coherence tomography (OCT) in patients presenting with ISR. Methods This was a single-center, prospective, observational study performed at a tertiary-care center in India. Patients diagnosed with stable angina and acute coronary syndrome with post-procedural angiographically documented restenosis (>50%) were included. Results A total of 34 patients with ISR were studied. Neointimal hyperplasia was classified as (i) homogenous group (n = 18) and (ii) non-homogenous group (n = 16). Fourteen (77.8%) diabetics belonged to the homogenous group. Predominant plaque characteristics such as neoatherosclerosis, cholesterol crystals, and calcium were documented in 14 (77.8%), 12 (66.7%), and 11 (61.1%) patients in the homogenous group and 10 (62.5%), 10 (62.5%), and 9 (56.2%) patients in the non-homogenous group, respectively. Unexpanded stent struts were identified in 11 (61.1%) and 11 (68.8%) patients in the homogenous and non-homogenous groups, respectively. Mean strut thickness was 93.73 ± 31.03 µm and 83.54 ± 18.0 µm, ISR was 72.50 ± 15.93% and 65.37 ± 21.69%, the neointimal thickness was 588.06 ± 167.82 μm and 666.25 ± 218.05 μm, and neointimal hyperplasia was 54.54 ± 11.23% and 59.26 ± 8.86% in the homogenous and non-homogenous groups, respectively. Conclusion Neoatherosclerosis and stent underexpansion were predominantly observed in our study and only diabetes was found to be significantly associated with homogenous neointimal hyperplasia.

Abstract
The discovery of miRNAs and their role in disease represent a significant breakthrough that has stimulated and propelled research on miRNAs as targets for diagnosis and therapy. Cardiovascular disease is an area where the restrictions of early diagnosis and conventional pharmacotherapy are evident and deserve attention. Therefore, miRNA-based drugs have significant potential for development. Research and its application can make considerable progress, as seen in preclinical and clinical trials. The use of miRNAs is still experimental but has a promising role in diagnosing and predicting a variety of acute coronary syndrome presentations. Its use, either alone or in combination with currently available biomarkers, might be adopted soon, particularly if there is diagnostic ambiguity. In this review, we examine the current understanding of miRNAs as possible targets for diagnosis and treatment in the cardiovascular system. We report on recent advances in recognising and characterising miRNAs with a focus on clinical translation. The latest challenges and perspectives towards clinical application are discussed.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and Inflammation plays a critical role in the development of CVD. Despite considerable progress in understanding the underlying mechanisms and various treatment options available, significant gaps in therapy necessitate the identification of novel therapeutic targets. Sphingolipids are a family of lipids that have gained attention in recent years as important players in CVDs and the inflammatory processes that underlie their development. As preclinical studies have shown that targeting sphingolipids can modulate inflammation and ameliorate CVDs, targeting sphingolipids has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy. This review discusses the current understanding of sphingolipids' involvement in inflammation and cardiovascular diseases, the existing therapeutic approaches and gaps in therapy, and explores the potential of sphingolipids-based drugs as a future avenue for CVD treatment.

Abstract
Background Previous studies have demonstrated that there are sex-related differences in atherosclerosis. However, in terms of the nature of in-stent restenosis (ISR) neointima, the effect of gender on the results is unclear. Methods Patients with ISR of drug-eluting stents (DES) who underwent OCT examination in Senior Department of Cardiology of the Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital from March 2010 to March 2022 were included. The patients were divided into male and female groups. Results In this study, a total of 230 DES-ISR patients and 249 DES-ISR target lesions were analyzed. OCT data showed that compared to females, males have a higher incidence of thin-cap fibrous atherosclerosis (TCFA) (37.4% [n = 77] vs. 9.3% [n = 4], p < 0.001) and in-stent neoatherosclerosis (ISNA) (82.0% [n = 169] vs. 62.8% [n = 27]). p = 0.005). In addition, a multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that male was independently associated with a higher incidence of ISNA (OR: 2.659, 95% CI: 1.239-5.707; p = 0.012) and TCFA (OR: 4.216, 95% CI: 1.370-12.976; p = 0.012). Conclusion For DES-ISR patients, the incidence of ISNA in female was significantly lower than that in male and vulnerability of neointimal pattern is lower in female than in male.

Abstract
Stent failure remains the major drawback to the use of coronary stents as a revascularization strategy. Recent advances in imaging have substantially improved our understanding of the mechanisms underlying these occurrences, which have in common numerous clinical risk factors and mechanical elements at the time of stent implantation. In-stent restenosis remains a common clinical problem despite numerous improvements in-stent design and polymer coatings over the past 2 decades. It generates significant health care cost and is associated with an increased risk of death and rehospitalization. Stent thrombosis causes abrupt closure of the stented artery and therefore carries a high risk of myocardial infarction and death. This Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (SCAI) Expert Consensus Statement suggests updated practical algorithmic approaches to in-stent restenosis and stent thrombosis. A pragmatic outline of assessment and management of patients presenting with stent failure is presented. A new SCAI classification that is time-sensitive with mechanistic implications of in-stent restenosis is proposed. Emphasis is placed on frequent use of intracoronary imaging and assessment of timing to determine the precise etiology because that information is crucial to guide selection of the best treatment option. SCAI recommends image-guided coronary stenting at the time of initial implantation to minimize the occurrence of stent failure. When in-stent restenosis and stent thrombosis are encountered, imaging should be strongly considered to optimize the subsequent approach.

Drug-coated balloon therapy is more effective in treating late drug-eluting stent in-stent restenosis than the early occurring one-a systematic review and meta-analysis. Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 10:1062130.

Abstract
Drug-eluting stent in-stent restenosis (DES-ISR) remains one of the important assignments to be resolved in interventional cardiology, as it is present in 5%-10% of total percutaneous coronary intervention cases. Drug-coated balloon (DCB) utilization is promising, as it comes with long-term protection from recurrent restenosis in optimal conditions without the hazard of higher risk for stent thrombosis and in-stent restenosis. We aim to reduce the need for recurrent revascularization in DES-ISR, specifying the population in which the DCB therapy should be used. In this meta-analysis, the results of studies containing data on the time frame between drug-eluting stent implantation and the clinical presentation of in-stent restenosis and concomitant drug-coated balloon treatment were summarized. A systematic search was performed in Medline, Central, Web of Science, Scopus and Embase databases on November 11th, 2021. The QUIPS tool was used to assess the risk of bias in the included studies. The occurrence of a major cardiac adverse events (MACE) composite endpoint, containing target lesion revascularization (TLR), myocardial infarction, and cardiac death, and each of these separately, was assessed at 12 months after the balloon treatment. Random effects meta-analysis models were used for statistical analysis. Data of 882 patients from four studies were analyzed. Across the included studies, a 1.68 OR (CI 1.57-1.80, p < 0.01) for MACE and a 1.69 OR (CI 1.18-2.42 p < 0.01) for TLR were observed, both in favor of late DES-ISR. The main limitation of the study is the relatively low patient number. Nevertheless, this analysis shows the first statistically significant results for the effect of DCB treatment in the early or late presentation of DES-ISR. As to date, intravascular imaging (IVI) remains limitedly accessible, other landmarks as the time frame of in-stent restenosis development are to be pursued to advance therapeutic outcomes. In consideration of other biological, technical and mechanical factors, time frame of occurrence as a prognostic factor could reduce the burden of recurrent revascularization in patients at an already high risk.

Abstract
Patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) show high rates of cardiorenal outcomes. In addition, the progression towards renal failure and cardiovascular events rises as CKD worsens. Several studies suggest that the activation of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) induces cardiac and renal injury, including inflammation and fibrosis. Finerenone is a novel, nonsteroidal, selective MR antagonist (MRA) which has demonstrated anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects in pre-clinical studies. Moreover, two large trials (FIDELIO-DKD and FIGARO-DKD) investigated the renal and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with mild to severe CKD in type 2 diabetes which received finerenone. On these bases, this comprehensive review aims to summarize the current knowledge regarding finerenone and its effects on CKD and the cardiovascular system, emphasizing its role in modifying cardiorenal outcomes.

Abstract
Complete endothelialization is highly important for maintaining long-term patency and avoiding subsequent complications in implanting cardiovascular stents. It not only refers to endothelial cells (ECs) fully covering the inserted stents, but also includes the newly formed endothelium, which could exert physiological functions, such as anti-thrombosis and anti-stenosis. Clinical outcomes have indicated that endothelial dysfunction, especially the insufficiency of antithrombotic and barrier functions, is responsible for stent failure. Learning from vascular pathophysiology, endothelial dysfunction on stents is closely linked to the microenvironment of ECs. Evidence points to inflammatory responses, oxidative stress, altered hemodynamic shear stress, and impaired endothelial barrier affecting the normal growth of ECs, which are the four major causes of endothelial dysfunction. The related molecular mechanisms and efforts dedicated to improving the endothelial function are emphasized in this review. From the perspective of endothelial function, the design principles, advantages, and disadvantages behind current stents are introduced to enlighten the development of new-generation stents, aiming to offer new alternatives for restoring endothelial function.

Abstract
Elastic laminae, an elastin-based, layered extracellular matrix structure in the media of arteries, can inhibit leukocyte adhesion and vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration, exhibiting anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombogenic properties. These properties prevent inflammatory and thrombogenic activities in the arterial media, constituting a mechanism for the maintenance of the structural integrity of the arterial wall in vascular disorders. The biological basis for these properties is the elastin-induced activation of inhibitory signaling pathways, involving the inhibitory cell receptor signal regulatory protein α (SIRPα) and Src homology 2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase 1 (SHP1). The activation of these molecules causes deactivation of cell adhesion- and proliferation-regulatory signaling mechanisms. Given such anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombogenic properties, elastic laminae and elastin-based materials have potential for use in vascular reconstruction.

Abstract
Drug-eluting stents (DES) demonstrated superior efficacy when compared to bare metal stents and plain-old balloon angioplasty and are nowadays used in almost all percutaneous revascularization procedures. The design of the stent platforms is constantly improving to maximize its efficacy and safety. Constant development of DES includes adoption of new materials used for scaffold production, new design types, improved overexpansion abilities, new polymers coating and, finally, improved antiproliferative agents. Especially nowadays, with the immense number of available DES platforms, it is crucial to understand how different aspects of stents impact the effect of their implantation, as subtle differences between various stent platforms could impact the most important issue-clinical outcomes. This review discusses the current status of coronary stents and the impact of stent material, strut design and coating techniques on cardiovascular outcomes.

Neoatherosclerosis prediction using plaque markers in intravascular optical coherence tomography images. Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:1079046. [PMID: 36588557 PMCID: PMC9794759 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.1079046] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2022] [Accepted: 11/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction In-stent neoatherosclerosis has emerged as a crucial factor in post-stent complications including late in-stent restenosis and very late stent thrombosis. In this study, we investigated the ability of quantitative plaque characteristics from intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) images taken just prior to stent implantation to predict neoatherosclerosis after implantation. Methods This was a sub-study of the TRiple Assessment of Neointima Stent FOrmation to Reabsorbable polyMer with Optical Coherence Tomography (TRANSFORM-OCT) trial. Images were obtained before and 18 months after stent implantation. Final analysis included images of 180 lesions from 90 patients; each patient had images of two lesions in different coronary arteries. A total of 17 IVOCT plaque features, including lesion length, lumen (e.g., area and diameter); calcium (e.g., angle and thickness); and fibrous cap (FC) features (e.g., thickness, surface area, and burden), were automatically extracted from the baseline IVOCT images before stenting using dedicated software developed by our group (OCTOPUS). The predictive value of baseline IVOCT plaque features for neoatherosclerosis development after stent implantation was assessed using univariate/multivariate logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses. Results Follow-up IVOCT identified stents with (n = 19) and without (n = 161) neoatherosclerosis. Greater lesion length and maximum calcium angle and features related to FC were associated with a higher prevalence of neoatherosclerosis after stent implantation (p < 0.05). Hierarchical clustering identified six clusters with the best prediction p-values. In univariate logistic regression analysis, maximum calcium angle, minimum calcium thickness, maximum FC angle, maximum FC area, FC surface area, and FC burden were significant predictors of neoatherosclerosis. Lesion length and features related to the lumen were not significantly different between the two groups. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, only larger FC surface area was strongly associated with neoatherosclerosis (odds ratio 1.38, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.05-1.80, p < 0.05). The area under the ROC curve was 0.901 (95% CI 0.859-0.946, p < 0.05) for FC surface area. Conclusion Post-stent neoatherosclerosis can be predicted by quantitative IVOCT imaging of plaque characteristics prior to stent implantation. Our findings highlight the additional clinical benefits of utilizing IVOCT imaging in the catheterization laboratory to inform treatment decision-making and improve outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies have shown that in-stent neoatherosclerosis (ISNA/NA) is an important cause of late stent failure. A comprehensive understanding of the current state of research in this field will facilitate the analysis of its development trends and hot frontiers. However, no bibliometric correlation has been reported yet. Here, we analyze the relevant literature since the emergence of the concept and provide valuable insights. METHODS Publications were collected from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) and PubMed. Microsoft Excel, SPSS and CiteSpace were used to analyze and present the data. RESULTS A total of 498 articles were collected, with Japan and Cardiovasc Res Fdn being the main publishing forces in all country/region and institutions. J AM COLL CARDIOL is the journal with the most published and co-cited articles. According to co-citation analysis, optical coherence tomography, thrombosis, implantation, restenosis, drug-eluting stent, and bare metal stent have become more and more popular recently. CONCLUSION ISNA is a niche and emerging field. How to reduce the incidence of ISNA and improve the late patency rate of coronary stents may remain a hot spot for future research. The pathogenesis of ISNA also needs to be explored in more depth.

Abstract
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is an increasingly pathological condition that commonly affects the femoropopliteal arteries. The current fashionable treatment is percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA), often with stenting. However, the in-stent restenosis (ISR) rate after the stenting of the femoropopliteal (FP) district remains high. Many techniques have been proposed for the treatment of femoropopliteal ISR, such as intravascular brachytherapy, laser atherectomy, second stenting and drug-coated balloons angioplasty (DCB). DCB showed a significantly lower rate of restenosis and target lesions revascularization (TLR) compared to conventional PTA. However, further studies and multi-center RCTs with dedicated long-term follow-up are needed to verify the true efficiency of this approach. Nowadays, the correlation between PAD and inflammation biomarkers is well known. Multiple studies have shown that proinflammatory markers (such as C-reactive proteins) and the high plasma levels of microRNA could predict the outcomes after stent placement. In particular, circulating microRNA-320a, microRNA-3937, microRNA-642a-3p and microRNA-572 appear to hold promise in diagnosing ISR in patients with PAD, but also as predictors of stent patency. This narrative review intends to summarize the current knowledge on the value of circulating biomarkers as predictors of ISR and to foster the scientific debate on the advantages of using DCB in the treatment of ISR in the FP district.

Glycaemic Control in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: What Is the Role for the Novel Antidiabetic Agents? A Comprehensive Review of Basic Science and Clinical Data. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23137261.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and revascularization through percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) significantly improves survival. In this setting, poor glycaemic control, regardless of diabetes, has been associated with increased incidence of peri-procedural and long-term complications and worse prognosis. Novel antidiabetic agents have represented a paradigm shift in managing patients with diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. However, limited data are reported so far in patients undergoing coronary stenting. This review intends to provide an overview of the biological mechanisms underlying hyperglycaemia-induced vascular damage and the contrasting actions of new antidiabetic drugs. We summarize existing evidence on the effects of these drugs in the setting of PCI, addressing pre-clinical and clinical studies and drug-drug interactions with antiplatelet agents, thus highlighting new opportunities for optimal long-term management of these patients.

CASP1 Gene Polymorphisms and BAT1-NFKBIL-LTA-CASP1 Gene-Gene Interactions Are Associated with Restenosis after Coronary Stenting. Biomolecules 2022; 12:biom12060765. [PMID: 35740890 PMCID: PMC9221501 DOI: 10.3390/biom12060765] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2022] [Revised: 05/24/2022] [Accepted: 05/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
In the present study, we evaluated the association of the BAT1, NFKBIL, LTA, and CASP1 single nucleotide polymorphisms and the gene−gene interactions with risk of developing restenosis after coronary stenting. The allele and genotype determination of the polymorphisms (BAT1 rs2239527 C/G, NFKBIL1 rs2071592 T/A, LTA rs1800683 G/A, CASP1 rs501192 A/G, and CASP1 rs580253 A/G) were performed by 5’exonuclease TaqMan assays in 219 patients: 66 patients with restenosis and 153 without restenosis. The distribution of rs2239527 C/G, rs2071592 T/A, and rs1800683 G/A polymorphisms was similar in patients with and without restenosis. Nonetheless, under recessive (OR = 2.73, pCRes = 0.031) and additive models (OR = 1.65, pCAdd = 0.039), the AA genotype of the rs501192 A/G polymorphism increased the restenosis risk. Under co-dominant, dominant, recessive, and additive models, the AA genotype of the rs580253 A/G was associated with a high restenosis risk (OR = 5.38, pCCo-Dom = 0.003; OR = 2.12, pCDom = 0.031; OR = 4.32, pCRes = 0.001; and OR = 2.16, 95%CI: 1.33−3.52, pCAdd = 0.001, respectively). In addition, we identified an interaction associated with restenosis susceptibility: BAT1-NFKBIL1-LTA-CASP1 (OR = 9.92, p < 0.001). In summary, our findings demonstrate that the rs501192 A/G and rs580253 A/G polymorphisms, as well as the gene−gene interactions between BAT1-NFKBIL1-LTA-CASP1, are associated with an increased restenosis risk after coronary stenting.
