Objectives

This study sought to investigate the relationship of unstable plaque features with physiological lesion severity and microvascular dysfunction.

Background

The functional severity of epicardial lesions and microvascular dysfunction are both related to adverse clinical outcomes.

Methods

We investigated 382 de novo intermediate and severe coronary lesions in 340 patients who underwent optical coherence tomography, fractional flow reserve (FFR), and index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) examinations. Lesions were divided into tertiles based on either FFR or IMR values. The optical coherence tomography findings were compared among the tertiles of FFR and IMR. Each tertile was defined as follows: FFR-T1 (FFR <0.74), FFR-T2 (0.74 ≤ FFR ≤0.81), and FFR-T3 (FFR >0.81); and IMR-T1 (IMR ≥25), IMR-T2 (15 < IMR <25), and IMR-T3 (IMR ≤15).

Results

No significant relationship was observed between FFR and IMR. The prevalence of optical coherence tomography–defined thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) was significantly greater in IMR-T1 than in IMR-T2 and IMR-T3. An overall significant difference in the prevalence of TCFAs was detected among FFR tertiles, although no pairwise comparison revealed statistical significance. The prevalence of ruptured plaque was significantly greater in IMR-T1 than in IMR-T2 and IMR-T3, although no significant difference was observed between FFR tertiles. Multivariate analysis showed that FFR and IMR were independent predictors of the prevalence of TCFAs (odds ratio: 0.036; 95% confidence interval: 0.004 to 0342; p = 0.004; and odds ratio: 1.034; 95% confidence interval: 1.014 to 1.054; p = 0.001, respectively).

Conclusions

Lower FFR and higher IMR values were independent predictors of the presence of a TCFA in angiographically intermediate-to-severe stable lesions or nonculprit lesions in acute coronary syndrome.  相似文献

Objectives

This study aimed to determine the effect on long-term survival of using optical coherence tomography (OCT) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Background

Angiographic guidance for PCI has substantial limitations. The superior spatial resolution of OCT could translate into meaningful clinical benefits, although limited data exist to date about their effect on clinical endpoints.

Methods

This was a cohort study based on the Pan-London (United Kingdom) PCI registry, which includes 123,764 patients who underwent PCI in National Health Service hospitals in London between 2005 and 2015. Patients undergoing primary PCI or pressure wire use were excluded leaving 87,166 patients in the study. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality at a median of 4.8 years.

Results

OCT was used in 1,149 (1.3%) patients, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) was used in 10,971 (12.6%) patients, and angiography alone in the remaining 75,046 patients. Overall OCT rates increased over time (p < 0.0001), with variation in rates between centers (p = 0.002). The mean stent length was shortest in the angiography-guided group, longer in the IVUS-guided group, and longest in the OCT-guided group. OCT-guided procedures were associated with greater procedural success rates and reduced in-hospital MACE rates. A significant difference in mortality was observed between patients who underwent OCT-guided PCI (7.7%) compared with patients who underwent either IVUS-guided (12.2%) or angiography-guided (15.7%; p < 0.0001) PCI, with differences seen for both elective (p < 0.0001) and acute coronary syndrome subgroups (p = 0.0024). Overall this difference persisted after multivariate Cox analysis (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.48; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.26 to 0.81; p = 0.001) and propensity matching (hazard ratio: 0.39; 95% CI: 0.21 to 0.77; p = 0.0008; OCT vs. angiography-alone cohort), with no difference in matched OCT and IVUS cohorts (HR: 0.88; 95% CI: 0.61 to 1.38; p = 0.43).

Conclusions

In this large observational study, OCT-guided PCI was associated with improved procedural outcomes, in-hospital events, and long-term survival compared with standard angiography-guided PCI.  相似文献

ObjectiveThis study of patients treated with novolimus-eluting bioresorbable scaffold (BRS) investigated the impact of plaque burden on the acute mechanical performance of the BRS and the short-term outcome.MethodsA total of 15 patients were enrolled. The following parameters were derived from optical coherence tomography (OCT) during the final pullback: mean and minimum area, residual area stenosis, incomplete strut apposition, tissue prolapse, scaffold expansion index (SEI), scaffold eccentricity index (SEC), symmetry index, strut fracture, and edge dissection. Fibrous plaque (FP) and calcific plaque (CP) characteristics were measured at each 200 μm longitudinal cross-section. The patients were divided into two groups based on their medians of the respective plaque characteristics.ResultsOCT analysis showed a lumen area of 11.4 ± 1.9 mm2 and a scaffold area of 11.5 ± 2.1 mm2. The mean eccentricity index overall was 0.65 ± 0.16 and mean symmetry index 0.39 ± 0.25. Statistically, scaffold expansion was not significantly influenced by a greater plaque burden as represented by greater CP area (SEI in group with CP area <0.52 mm2 84.1% vs. SEI of 86.6% in group with CP area ≥0.52 mm2, p = 0.06), thicker CP (85.7% vs. 85.1%, p = 0.06), greater CP arc angle (88.0% vs. 81.7%, p = 0.08), and CP being closer to the lumen (84.2% vs. 86.5%, p = 0.08). Scaffold expansion was also not significantly influenced by FP burden. The eccentricity of the implanted scaffolds was not dependent on the CP burden. On the other hand, a greater FP burden favoured a lower eccentricity index, indicating less circular expansion. Thus, greater FP area, FP thickness, and FP arc angle resulted in a more eccentric scaffold expansion.ConclusionIn contrast to previously studied BRS, the expansion and eccentricity characteristics of the novolimus-eluting scaffold did not show the strong dependency of plaque composition, morphology, and burden. As assessed by OCT, only eccentricity was significantly affected by the FP burden. A greater FP plaque arc in our cohort and device-specific properties, e.g. self-correction, may explain the lack of a relationship between plaque, expansion, and eccentricity.  相似文献

Objectives

The purpose of this study was to assess neoatherosclerosis in a registry of prospectively enrolled patients presenting with stent thrombosis using optical coherence tomography.

Background

In-stent neoatherosclerosis was recently identified as a novel disease manifestation of atherosclerosis after coronary stent implantation.

Methods

Angiography and intravascular optical coherence tomography were used to investigate etiologic factors of neoatherosclerosis in patients presenting with stent thrombosis >1 year after implantation (very late stent thrombosis [VLST]). Clinical data were collected according to a standardized protocol. Optical coherence tomographic acquisitions were analyzed in a core laboratory. Cox regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with the formation of neoatherosclerosis and plaque rupture as a function of time.

Results

Optical coherence tomography was performed in 134 patients presenting with VLST. A total of 58 lesions in 58 patients with neoatherosclerosis were compared with 76 lesions in 76 patients without neoatherosclerosis. Baseline characteristics were similar between groups. In-stent plaque rupture was the most frequent cause (31%) in all patients presenting with VLST. In patients with neoatherosclerosis, in-stent plaque rupture was identified as the cause of VLST in 40 cases (69%), whereas uncovered stent struts (n = 22 [29%]) was the most frequent cause in patients without neoatherosclerosis. Macrophage infiltration was significantly more frequent in optical coherence tomographic frames with plaque rupture compared with those without (50.2% vs. 22.2%; p < 0.0001), whereas calcification was more often observed in frames without plaque rupture (17.2% vs. 4%; p < 0.0001). Implantation of a drug-eluting stent was significantly associated with the formation of neoatherosclerosis (p = 0.02), whereas previous myocardial infarction on index percutaneous coronary intervention was identified as a significant risk factor for plaque rupture in patients with neoatherosclerosis (p = 0.003). No significant difference was observed in thrombus composition between patients with or without neoatherosclerosis.

Conclusions

Neoatherosclerosis was frequently observed in patients with VLST. Implantation of a drug-eluting stent was significantly associated with neoatherosclerosis formation. In-stent plaque rupture was the prevailing pathological mechanism and often occurred in patients with neoatherosclerosis and previous myocardial infarction at index percutaneous coronary intervention. Increased macrophage infiltration heralded plaque vulnerability in our study and might serve as an important indicator.  相似文献
