With the increasing clinical application of new devices forpercutaneous coronary revascularization, maximization of theacute angiographic result has become widely recognized as akey factor in maintained clinical and angiographic success.What is unclear, however, is whether the specific mode of actionof different devices might exert an additional independent effecton late luminal renarrowing. The purpose of this study was toinvestigate such a difference in the degree of provocation ofluminal renarrowing (or restenosis propensity)by different devices, among 3660 patients, who had 4342 lesionssuccessfully treated by balloon angioplasty (n=3797), directionalcoronary atherectomy (n= 200), Palmaz-Schatz stent implantation(n= 229) or excimer laser coronary angioplasty (n= 116) andwho also underwent quantitative angiographic analysis pre- andpost-intervention and at 6-month follow-up. To allow valid comparisonsbetween the groups, because of significant differences in coronaryvessel size (balloon angioplasty=2.62±0.55 mm, directionalcoronary atherectomy= 3.28±0.62 mm, excimer laser coronaryangioplasty= 2.51±0.47 mm, Palmaz-Schatz=3.01±0.44mm;P<0.0001), the comparative measurements of interest selectedwere the relative loss in luminal diameter (RLoss=losslvessel size) to denote the restenosis process, and therelative lumen at follow-up (RLfup=minimal luminaldiameter at follow uplvessel size) to represent the angiographicoutcome. For consistency, lesion severity pre-intervention was representedby the relative lumen pre (RLpre=minimal luminaldiameter prelvessel size) and the luminal increase at interventionwas measured as relative gain (relative gain=gainl vessel size). Differences in restenosis propensity betweendevices was evaluated by univariate and multivariate analysis.Multivariate models were constructed to determine relative lossand relative lumen at follow-up, taking account of relativelumen pre-intervention, lesion location, relative gain, vesselsize and the device used. In addition, model-estimated relativeloss and relative lumen at follow-up at given relative lumenpre-intervention relative gain and vessel size, were comparedamong the four groups. Significant differences were detectedamong the groups both with respect to these estimates, as wellas in the degree of influence of progressively increasing relativegain, on the extent of renarrowing (relative loss) and angiographicoutcome (relative lumen at follow-up), particularly at higherlevels of luminal increase (relative gain). Specifically, lesionstreated by balloon angioplasty or Palmaz-Schatz stent implantation(the predominantly dilating interventions) wereassociated with more favourable angiographic profiles than directionalatherectomy or excimer laser (the mainly debulkinginterventions). Significant effects of lesion severity and location,as well as the well known influence of luminal increase on bothluminal renarrowing and late angiographic outcome were alsonoted. These findings indicate that propensity to restenosis afterapparently successful intervention is influenced not only bythe degree of luminal enlargement achieved at intervention,but by the device used to achieve it. In view of the clinicalimplications of such findings, further evaluation in largerrandomized patient populations is warranted. 相似文献

Objectives—To compare clinical outcome in patients with complex coronary lesions treated with either excimer laser coronary angioplasty (ELCA) or balloon angioplasty.
Patients and design—308 patients with stable angina and a coronary lesion of more than 10 mm in length were randomised to ELCA (151 patients, 158 lesions) or balloon angioplasty (157 patients, 167 lesions). The primary clinical end points were death, myocardial infarction, coronary bypass surgery, or repeated coronary angioplasty of the randomised segment during six months of follow up. Subanalysis was performed to identify a subgroup of patients with a beneficial clinical outcome following ELCA or balloon angioplasty.
Setting—Two university hospitals and one general hospital.
Results—There were no deaths. Myocardial infarction, coronary bypass surgery, and repeated angioplasty occurred in 4.6, 10.6, and 21.2%, respectively, of patients treated with ELCA compared with 5.7, 10.8, and 18.5%, respectively, of those treated with balloon angioplasty. ELCA did not yield a favourable clinical outcome in subgroups of patients with long (more than 20 mm) coronary lesions, calcified lesions, small diseased vessels (2.5 mm reference diameter), or total coronary occlusions. There was a worse clinical outcome in patients with tandem lesions treated with ELCA compared with balloon angioplasty (9/18 v 3/26 lesions; p = 0.01); while a trend towards an unfavourable clinical outcome was found in patients with vessels with a reference diameter of more than 2.5 mm (23/66 v 13/63 lesions, p = 0.07) and left circumflex coronary lesions (12/41 v 6/42 lesions, p = 0.08).
Conclusions—The findings indicate a worse clinical outcome in patients with lesions of more than 10 mm treated with ELCA compared with balloon angioplasty who have tandem coronary lesions and in those with vessels with a reference diameter of more than 2.5 mm and left circumflex coronary lesions.

In a series of 20 coronary excimer laser angioplasties, two patients presented with a peculiar type of malignant restenosis 6 and 8 weeks after a successful laser angioplasty procedure. One patient had a successful recanalization of an occluded left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery and the second patient had a successful angioplasty of a subtotal proximal stenosis of the left anterior descending coronary artery. After the procedure, no ischemia could be demonstrated by exercise ECG and thallium scintigraphy. Both patients were free of angina until the sudden development of nocturnal angina several hours before reangiography, which showed subtotal restenosis in both cases. One patient had a mammaria graft on the LAD and the second patient underwent a successful balloon angioplasty. This uncommon sudden and malignant development of restenosis seems to be related to the excimer laser angioplasty procedure and warrants some caution with the indiscriminative use of this new angioplasty procedure. 相似文献

The preferred method for revascularization of symptomatic infrapopliteal arterial occlusive disease (IPAD) has traditionally been open vascular bypass. Endovascular techniques have been increasingly applied to treat tibial disease with mixed results. We evaluated the short-term outcome of percutaneous infrapopliteal intervention and compared the different techniques used. A retrospective analysis of consecutive patients undergoing endovascular treatment for infrapopliteal arterial occlusive lesions between 2003 and 2007 in a tertiary teaching hospital was performed. Patient demographic data, indication for intervention, and periprocedural complications were recorded. Periprocedural and short-term outcomes were measured and compared. Forty-nine infrapopliteal arteries in 35 patients were treated. Twenty vessels (15 patients) underwent angioplasty and 29 vessels (20 patients) were treated with atherectomy. Demographic and angiographic characteristics were similar between the groups. Twenty-six patients had concurrent femoral and/or popliteal artery interventions. Overall, technical success was 90% and similar between angioplasty and atherectomy groups (85% versus 93%, p = NS). The vessel-specific complication rate was 10% and was similar between both groups (angioplasty 5% versus atherectomy 14%, p = NS). One dissection occurred in the angioplasty group; one perforation and three thromboembolic events occurred in the atherectomy group. Limb salvage and freedom from reintervention at 6 months were 81% and 68%, respectively, and were not significantly different between the angioplasty and atherectomy groups. Endovascular intervention for IPAD had acceptable periprocedural and short-term success rates in our high-risk patient population. Both atherectomy and angioplasty can be used successfully to treat symptomatic IPAD. 相似文献

To help elucidate the mechanism of excimer laser coronary angioplasty (ELCA), intra-vascular ultrasound (IVUS) imaging was performed in 19 of 29 patients who were treated with ELCA. The results were compared with a non-randomized control group of 18 patients who had IVUS studies both before and after PTCA alone. After ELCA alone, lumen diameter (1.9 × 1.7 mm) and lumen cross-sectional area (CSA) (2.9 mm2) by IVUS were not significantly different from baseline values in the patients before PTCA alone (2.1 × 1.8 mm, 3.2 mm2). After balloon dilatation in the laser treated group, lumen diameter (2.5 × 2.1 mm) and lumen CSA (4.9 mm2) were significantly greater than those post ELCA alone. However, there was no difference in lumen CSA or atheroma CSA in the group treated with excimer laser plus balloon dilatation vs. these measurements in the group treated with PTCA alone. ELCA does not ablate a large amount of atheroma (9% reduction) but creates a pathway to permit easier passage of a PTCA balloon. These quantitative and morphologic results may help explain why the restenosis rate with ELCA is similar to PTCA alone. © 1994 Wiley-Liss,Inc.. 相似文献
