Abstract
Background There is limited evidence about vessel wall healing response following implantation of next-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) in patients admitted with a non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). Cumulative data indicate that optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging can optimize percutaneous coronary intervention results and expedite stent endothelialization in the general population but there is lack of data in NSTE-ACS patients. Methods The EXPECT study is an investigator-initiated, prospective, randomized trial to assess early vascular healing response following next-generation DES implantation in patients admitted with NSTE-ACS based on OCT guidance and evaluation. Sixty patients are randomized at 1:1:1 ratio to OCT-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with 3-month follow-up OCT imaging (O3 group, n = 20), to angiography-guided PCI with 3-month follow-up OCT imaging (A3 group, n = 20) and to angiography-guided PCI with 6-month follow-up OCT imaging (A6 group, n = 20). The primary endpoint of the study is stent strut coverage rate at 3- or 6- month follow-up in the studied groups. The secondary endpoints of the study include OCT imaging endpoints, clinical endpoints, and molecular biology endpoints at the different time points. The clinical endpoints comprised of major cardiovascular adverse events and individual components. The molecular biology endpoints comprised of lipid levels and the levels of inflammatory indicators. Discussion The findings of the EXPECT study are anticipated to provide novel insights into vessel wall healing in NSTE-ACS population following implantation of next-generation DES, underscore the value of OCT imaging in expediting strut coverage in this setting, and explore the potential of an early discontinuation of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in this population. Clinical Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04375319.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Late stent thrombosis caused by delayed vascular healing and prolonged local inflammation were major drawbacks of 1st generation drug-eluting stents (DES). Strut design, biocompatibility of polymer, and drug-release profiles were improved in 2nd and 3rdgeneration DES. Accordingly, the indications for percutaneous coronary intervention with DES have been expanded to more complex patients and lesions. Despite these improvements, significant barriers such as greater flexibility in the duration of dual-antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) as well as reducing long-term stent-related events remain. To achieve ideal short- and long-term results, these existing limitations need to be overcome. AREAS COVERED We will discuss the current limitations of coronary DES and how they might be overcome from pathological and clinical viewpoints. EXPERT OPINION Optimizing DAPT duration after stent implantation and prevention of in-stent neoatherosclerosis are two major issues in current DES. Overcoming these drawbacks is a prerequisite toward achieving better short- and long-term clinical outcomes. New technologies including platform design, polymer types, and anti-proliferative agent itself might lead to further improvements. Although the initial experience with bioresorbable scaffold/stents (BRS) was disappointing, positive results of clinical studies regarding novel BRS are raising expectations. Overall, further device innovation is desired for overcoming the limitations of current DES.

Abstract
Background:
The OrsiroTM
ultrathin-strut, biodegradable-polymer, sirolimus-eluting stent (O-SES) has specific characteristics regarding its components and has demonstrated comparable clinical outcomes compared with durable-polymer, drug-eluting stents (DES). However, arterial repair following deployment of the O-SES has not been elucidated to date. Methods and Results:
Using data from the Kansai Rosai Hospital database between November 2010 and September 2020, we analyzed coronary angioscopy (CAS) findings a mean (±SD) of 10±2 months after implantation of an O-SES, a durable-polymer everolimus-eluting stent (XienceTM; X-EES), or a biodegradable-polymer everolimus-eluting stent (SynergyTM; S-EES). Neointimal coverage (NIC), yellow color intensity of the stented segment, and the incidence of thrombus adhesion were compared between the O-SES (66 stents from 42 patients), X-EES (119 stents from 87 patients), and S-EES (132 stents from 88 patients). NIC was significantly thinner for the O-SES than S-EES (P<0.001), but was similar between the O-SES and X-EES (P=0.25). Yellow color intensity was significantly greater for the O-SES than X-EES (P<0.001), but similar between the O-SES and S-EES (P=0.51). The incidence of thrombus adhesions was similar in all 3 groups. Conclusions:
O-SES and X-EES resulted in similar inhibition of NIC and both resulted in a thinner NIC than with S-EES. In addition, O-SES exhibited a similar degree of thrombus adhesion as the other DES, suggesting similar thrombogenicity.

Abstract
A recent thinner strut drug-eluting stent might facilitate early strut coverage after its placement. We aimed to investigate early vascular healing responses after the placement of an ultrathin-strut bioresorbable-polymer sirolimus-eluting stent (BP-SES) compared to those with a durable-polymer everolimus-eluting stent (DP-EES) using optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging.This study included 40 patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) who underwent OCT-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Twenty patients each received either BP-SES or DP-EES implantation. OCT was performed immediately after stent placement (baseline) and at 1-month follow-up.At one month, the percentage of uncovered struts reduced significantly in both the BP-SES (80.9 ± 10.3% to 2.9 ± 1.7%; P < 0.001) and DP-EES (81.9 ± 13.0% to 5.7 ± 1.8%; P < 0.001) groups, and the percentage was lower in the BP-SES group than in the DP-EES group (P < 0.001). In the BP-SES group, the percentage of malapposed struts also decreased significantly at 1 month (4.9 ± 3.7% to 2.6 ± 3.0%; P = 0.025), which was comparable to that of the DP-EES group (2.5 ± 2.2%; P = 0.860). The optimal cut-off value of the distance between the strut and vessel surface immediately after the placement to predict resolved malapposed struts was ≤ 160 μm for BP-SES and ≤ 190 μm for DP-EES.Compared to DP-EES, ultrathin-strut BP-SES demonstrated favorable vascular responses at one month, with a lower rate of uncovered struts and a comparable rate of malapposed struts.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the early vascular healing of ruptured plaques (RP) and non-ruptured plaques (NRP) one month after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), using optical coherence tomography (OCT). BACKGROUND Vascular healing and strut coverage are important factors in reducing the risk of stent thrombosis after PCI. Influence of underlying lesion characteristics and differences in healing response between RP and NRP are unknown. METHODS Twenty-six STEMI-patients underwent PCI and implantation of a polymer-free drug-coated Biofreedom stent (BF-BES). OCT was performed pre-PCI, post-PCI and at 1-month follow-up. The patients were divided into two groups: RP = 15 and NRP = 11. OCT analyses of culprit lesion, post stent implantation at baseline and follow-up were performed to determine the difference in vascular healing based on presence of uncovered and/or malapposed stent struts and intraluminal filling defects. RESULTS The stent coverage did not differ significantly between the two groups at 1-month follow-up with percentage of uncovered struts: RP 26.5% [IQR 15.0-49.0] and NRP 28.1% [IQR 15.5-38.8] for NRP (p = 0.78). At 1-month, RP showed an increased percentage of late acquired malapposed struts (1.4% [IQR 0.8-2.4] vs. 0.0% [IQR 0.0-1.4], p = 0.03) and a larger total malapposition area (1.3 mm2 [IQR 0.4-2.5] vs. 0.0 mm2 [IQR 0.0-0.9], p = 0.01), compared to NRP. CONCLUSION Three out of four struts were covered within one month after stenting. The vascular healing was comparable in RP and NRP on stent coverage. However, RP had more and larger late acquired malapposition areas.

Abstract
Several studies have demonstrated the safety and feasibility of short (3-6 months) and very short duration (< 2 months) dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in patients with a durable-polymer drug-eluting stent (DP-DES). However, the clinical importance of using very short duration DAPT has yet to be established in patients with a biodegradable polymer drug-eluting stent (BP-DES). The aim of this REIWA registry (multicenter and prospective registry; investigation of clinical outcomes of patients treated with short duration dual antiplatelet therapy after implantation of biodresorbable-polymer drug-eluting stent: a multicenter, prospective registry from Iwate medical university affiliated hospitals) is to determine the safety and feasibility of using 1-month DAPT followed by P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy in patients after BP-DES implantation. This study is an observational, prospective, multicenter registry encompassing the entire local medical region of Iwate Prefecture (northern area of mainland Japan). A total of 1200 patients who underwent successful PCI with a novel thin strut BP-DES (Synergy, Ultimaster or Orsiro) and are considered to be appropriate patients for very short DAPT, are registered and subsequently administered 1-month DAPT followed by P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy (clopidogrel 75 mg/day or prasugrel 3.75 mg/day). The primary endpoint was a composite of cardiovascular and bleeding events, which included cardiovascular death, spontaneous myocardial infarction, definite stent thrombosis, ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, or TIMI major or minor bleeding at 12 months. The REIWA registry (UMIN000037321) will demonstrate both the safety and feasibility of using 1-month DAPT in patients with BP-DES. Furthermore, results of this study will also be able to provide supportive evidence for P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy after 1-month DAPT following BP-DES implantation.

J Cardiol 2020; 75:641-647.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to identify a cut-off value to predict the resolution of incomplete-stent-apposition (ISA) after cobalt-chromium everolimus-eluting stent (CoCr-EES) implantation at early follow-up. BACKGROUND To date, appropriate stent apposition at the acute period using intracoronary imaging has been recommended because persistent ISA is considered to be a risk factor for stent thrombosis. We examined the indices for resolving acute ISA. In particular, we determined the cut-off value for strut vessel distance (SV-distance) as visualized by optical coherence tomography (OCT) at 8 months after CoCr-EES implantation. However, the cut-off value of SV-distance for the earlier resolution of ISA is unclear. METHODS A total of 95 cases and 103 stents were registered in the MECHANISM Elective substudy. The SV-distance was measured at the deepest site of the target malapposition and every 1 mm from the proximal edge to the distal edge of the mal-apposed area using OCT. Cut-off values for ISA resolution at 1 and 3 months were estimated by SV-distance using receiver operating characteristic analysis. RESULTS The total number of analyzed struts was 14,418 at the 1-month follow-up and 11,986 at the 3-month follow-up. The optimal SV-distance cut-off values just after stent implantation to predict ISA resolution were 185 µm at the 1-month follow-up and 195 μm at the 3-month follow-up. CONCLUSION For resolution of ISA, SV-distance cut-off values of 185 µm at 1 month postimplantation and 195 μm at 3 months postimplantation can be used as the index of endpoint of the percutaneous coronary intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stent failure is more likely in the lipid rich and thrombus laden culprit lesions underlying ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This study assessed the effectiveness of post-dilatation in primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) for acute STEMI. METHODS The multi-center POST-STEMI trial enrolled 41 consecutive STEMI patients with symptom onset <12 hours undergoing manual thrombus aspiration and Promus Element stent implantation. Patients were randomly assigned to control group (n=20) or post-dilatation group (n=21) in which a non-compliant balloon was inflated to >16 atm pressure. Strut apposition and coverage were evaluated by optical coherence tomography (OCT) after intracoronary verapamil administration via thrombus aspiration catheter, post pPCI and at 7-month follow-up. The primary endpoint was rate of incomplete strut apposition (ISA) at 7 months after pPCI. RESULTS There were similar baseline characteristics except for stent length (21.9 [SD 6.5] mm vs. 26.0 [SD 5.8] mm, respectively, P=0.03). In post-dilatation vs. control group, ISA rate was lower (2.5% vs. 4.5%, P=0.04) immediately after pPCI without affecting final TIMI flow 3 rate (95.2% vs. 95.0%, P>0.05) or corrected TIMI frame counts (22.6±9.4 vs. 22.0±9.7, P>0.05); and at 7-month follow-up (0.7% vs. 1.8%, P<0.0001), the primary study endpoint, with similar strut coverage (98.5% vs. 98.4%, P=0.63) and 1-year rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). CONCLUSION In STEMI patients, post-dilatation after stent implantation and thrombus aspiration improved strut apposition up to 7 months without affecting coronary blood flow or 1-year MACE rate. Larger and longer term studies are warranted to further assess safety (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02121223).

Interleukin-35 promotes early endothelialization after stent implantation by regulating macrophage activation. Clin Sci (Lond) 2019; 133:869-884. [PMID: 30914441 DOI: 10.1042/cs20180879] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2018] [Revised: 03/13/2019] [Accepted: 03/26/2019] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Abstract
Background: Early strut coverage after sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) implantation is associated with the activation of inflammation, but the underlying mechanisms are not completely understood. The present study aimed to identify the relationship between the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL) 35 (IL-35) and early strut coverage in vivo and in vitro.
Methods: We utilized a retrospective study design to measure IL-35 levels in 68 stents from 68 patients with coronary artery disease and recorded serial optical coherence tomography (OCT) images (0 and 3 months) to assess stent endothelialization. The mechanism underlying the regulatory effects of IL-35 on macrophages and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was also investigated. SESs were surgically implanted into the right common carotid arteries of 200 male New Zealand White rabbits receiving intravenous injections of IL-35 or a placebo.
Results: At the 3-month OCT evaluation, complete endothelium coverage was correlated with IL-35 levels. IL-35 induced the activation of an anti-inflammatory M2-like macrophage phenotype by targeting the signal transducer and activators of transcription (STAT)1/4 signalling pathway, and IL-35-treated macrophages induced endothelial proliferation and alleviated endothelial dysfunction. IL-35-treated New Zealand White rabbits with implanted SESs showed lower percentages of cross-sections with an uncovered strut, elevated mean neointimal hyperplasia (NIH) thickness, and inhibited inflammatory responses.
Conclusions: We investigated the effect of IL-35 expression on early stent endothelialization in vivo and in vitro and identified a crucial role for IL-35 in inducing the activation of an anti-inflammatory M2-like macrophage phenotype. The present study highlights a new therapeutic strategy for early stent endothelialization.

Abstract
Abstract
Aims
Second-generation drug-eluting absorbable metal scaffold (DREAMS 2G) is an alternative novel device for treating coronary lesions. However, the relationship between in-scaffold dimensions after implantation of DREAMS 2G and vessel healing and luminal results at follow-up is unknown. The aim of this study is, therefore, to investigate whether the expansion index after implantation of DREAMS 2G as assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT) impacts late luminal status and healing of the vessel wall.
Methods and results
This study comprises of a total 65 out of 123 patients who were enrolled in the BIOSOLVE-II trial. We assessed both qualitative and quantitative OCT findings and the expansion index of DREAMS 2G after implantation frame by frame using OCT. Expansion index was defined as minimum scaffold area/mean reference lumen area. The over-expansion group was also defined with expansion index >1.0. The total number of analysed frames at post-procedure and 6-month follow-up was 8243 and 8263 frames, respectively. At 6-month follow-up, in-scaffold healing was documented by the reduction of 82% in dissections, 93% in attached intra-luminal mass (ILM), 65% in non-attached ILM, and 76% in jailed side branch. The over-expansion group had significantly greater in-scaffold luminal volume loss (LVL) compared with the non-over-expansion group [over-expansion: 35.0 (18.5–52.1) mm3 vs. non-over-expansion: 21.0 (11.6–37.9) mm3, P = 0.039].
Conclusion
Excellent in vivo healing process after implantation of DREAMS 2G was observed at 6 months. We found that higher expansion indices were associated with higher in-scaffold LVL at 6 months assessed by OCT.

Abstract
The proximal optimisation technique (POT) has been proposed as a strategy to improve the results of stent scaffolding of bifurcation lesions. It is a straightforward technique whereby a short, appropriately-sized balloon is inflated in the main vessel just proximal to the carina. The technique has several advantages: it reduces the risk of side branch compromise related to shifting of the carina, it improves stent apposition in the proximal main vessel, and it facilitates side branch access after main vessel stent implantation. When treating bifurcations, final kissing balloon dilation (KBD) has traditionally been used routinely to optimise angiographic results. However, recent clinical data have questioned this philosophy and bench models have demonstrated several shortcomings of KBD. Instead, the optimal strategy may centre on performing POT, followed by side branch dilation, and completed with a final (re)-POT. The following review article describes how to perform POT and presents the evidence to support its' routine use.
