Correlation of remote ST segment depression and coronary anatomy during acute coronary occlusion

BACKGROUND: The appearance of remote ST segment depression (RSTD) on an electrocardiogram (ECG) is associated with more extensive infarction and a worse clinical outcome than when RSTD is absent. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether RSTD predicts coronary anatomy during acute coronary occlusion. It was hypothesized that RSTD is associated with the occlusion of a proximal lesion, an extensive artery and an artery without distal collateralization. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In 113 consecutive patients with single vessel disease undergoing percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), 12-lead ECGs (recorded at baseline and during balloon inflation) and angiographical data were analyzed independently. Patients with ST segment elevation in the primary territory and RSTD (greater than 1 mm ST depression at 80 ms after the J point) (group A) were compared with patients without RSTD (group B). Proximal lesions were defined as lesions located in the segments proximal to the acute marginal branch, first diagonal artery or first obtuse marginal branch. An extensive right coronary artery (RCA) was one that supplied the posterolateral wall; an extensive left anterior descending (LAD) artery was one that supplied the inferoapical wall; and an extensive circumflex artery was one that supplied the posterior descending artery. RESULTS: Fifty-four patients (48%) had PTCA of the proximal vessels, 43 patients (38%) had extensive target vessels and 11 patients (9.7%) had collaterals. Target vessels included 33% in RCA, 44% in LAD artery and 23% in circumflex artery. Forty-five patients (40%) developed RSTD during balloon inflation (group A). Patients in group A were more likely to have extensive vessels on the angiogram than those in group B (group A 49%, group B 31%; P=0.05). None of the patients in group A had collaterals to the culprit artery, while 16% of patients in group B did (P=0.003). The two groups were not significantly different with respect to the number of proximal lesions (group A 58%, group B 42%; P=0.08). Analysis performed according to the target artery revealed that RSTD was associated with occlusion of an extensive RCA during RCA occlusion (extensive RCA in group A 100%, group B 57%; P=0.006). For the LAD artery, RSTD was associated with proximal lesions (group A 74%, group B 41%; P=0.02) and absence of collaterals (group A 100%, group B 74%; P=0.01). CONCLUSIONS: During acute coronary occlusion, the presence of RSTD on 12-lead ECG was specific for the absence of collaterals. The presence of RSTD during RCA occlusion was strongly associated with an extensive RCA, suggestive of posterolateral wall ischemia. During LAD artery occlusion, the presence of RSTD was associated with proximal occlusion, which resulted in ischemia of the LAD artery and the major diagonal artery territories.     

应用切割球囊与普通球囊治疗分叉病变的安全有效性分析

目的:对比简单策略治疗分叉病变过程中,应用切割球囊或普通球囊预扩张及血管成形术的有效性及安全性,为分叉病变治疗策略提供依据。方法:入选2009年至2013年期间,我院心内科218例冠心病患者233个分叉病变,分叉病变分型均为Duke D或Duke F型,边支血管直径>2.0mm,有明显血流动力学意义,主支病变经切割球囊预处理(CB组)或普通球囊预扩张(PB组)后置入支架,分支病变仅行切割球囊(CB组)或普通球囊预扩张(PB组),观察手术成功率、边支受累情况、并发症及随访主要心血管不良事件(MACEs)情况。结果:218例患者233个分叉病变位于前降支/第一对角支占73.4%(171例),回旋支/钝缘支占12.0%(28例),右冠状动脉/后降支或左心室后支占14.6%(50例)。CB组患者122例,PB组患者96例,两组患者临床基线资料与分叉病变特点比较,差异无统计学意义。CB组与PB组主支血管PCI成功率相似(98.1%vs.100%,P>0.05),但CB组患者分支血管PTCA成功率较高(92.1%vs.78.3%,P<0.05)。CB组患者围手术期心肌梗死发生情况亦少于PB组患者(4.1%vs.12.5%,P<0.05)。术后随访12个月结果表明,MACEs发生比率CB组少于PB组患者(5.31%vs.14.0%,P<0.05)。结论:简单策略治疗分叉病变过程中,应用切割球囊行预扩张及血管成形术对比普通球囊安全、有效,其成功率高,并发症较少,是临床实践中治疗冠状动脉分叉病变安全、有效、可行的方法。     

Coronary lesions quantification with dual-axis rotational coronary angiography

BackgroundCoronary angiography (CA) has been the gold standard technique for studying coronary artery disease. It is based on the analysis of bidimensional orthogonal projections that may not be optimal to estimate determinate coronary segments. Rotational angiography “Xperswing” (DARCA) is a new technique that allows the visualization of the coronary arteries from multiple views, with a single contrast injection. The aim of this study is to evaluate the coronary lesions quantification with DARCA.MethodsQuantitative coronary analysis of significant coronary stenosis (> 50%) was performed. Every lesion was measured in two different projections: the “optimal projection”, obtained by DARCA and defined by the operator as the one with a better lesion qualification, and the “standard projection”, corresponding to the usual projection closer to the optimal one in obliquity and angulation. Measures were performed twice and by two independent operators. Intra- and inter-observer correlation was estimated by Kappa index and variables were compared with t Student test (SPSS 14.0).Results205 lesions in 147 patients were analyzed. Kappa coefficient intra-observer was 0.80 and 0.86 respectively with an inter-observer correlation index of 0.72. Lesion length and maximal diameter of the vessel were significantly greater in the group of RA. In the segments analysis, calculated length was longer for the first diagonal branch, first marginal obtuse artery, middle circumflex, middle and distal RCA and posterior descending artery, with greater reference diameters for proximal LAD and distal RCA. There were no significant differences for coronary stenosis grade.ConclusionsRA XperSwing provides a better visualization of coronary arteries improving lesions characterization, with longer measured lesions length and greater vessel diameters, especially in coronary segments with more angulation.     

Coronary angioscopy: a monorail angioscope with movable guide wire

A new angioscope was devised for easier visualization of the coronary artery. In its tip, the angioscope (Olympus) with an outer diameter of 0.8 mm had a metal lumen, through which a 0.014-in steerable guide wire passed. Using a 8F guiding catheter and a guide wire, it was introduced into the distal coronary artery. With injection of warmed saline through the guiding catheter, the coronary segments were visualized. In the attempted 70 vessels (32 left anterior descending [LAD], 10 right coronary [RCA], 28 left circumflex [LCX]) from 48 patients, 60 vessels (86%) were successfully examined. Twenty-two patients who underwent attempted examination of both LAD and LCX; both coronary arteries were visualized in 19 patients (86%). In the proximal site of the lesion, 40 patients have the diagonal branch or the obtuse marginal branch. In 34 patients (85%) the angioscope was inserted beyond these branches. In 12 very tortuous vessels, eight vessels (67%) were examined. In conclusion, the new monorail coronary angioscope with movable guide wire is useful to examine the stenotic lesions of the coronary artery.     

A new dedicated stent and delivery system for the treatment of bifurcation lesions: preliminary experience.

We report the first clinical experience in eight patients with a new stent and delivery system specifically designed for the treatment of bifurcational lesions. The device (AST SLK-View system) consists of a premounted stent and a delivery system. The stent has a side aperture, which orients toward the ostium of the side branch. The system allows deployment of the stent while the access to both main and side branches is maintained by two wires. We evaluated this system in nine bifurcations. The location of bifurcations was left descending artery/diagonal branch in four lesions, left circumflex/obtuse marginal branch in three lesions, and postero-lateral branch/posterior descending artery in two lesions. Predilation was performed in six lesions of the main branches and in five lesions of the side branches. The stent was effectively delivered to all bifurcations except for one, in which the target lesion was located at a distal segment and the device could not be delivered. Following stent implantation in the main branch, two lesions at the side branches were treated by stent, while the other lesions were treated by balloon angioplasty without difficulty. Final kissing balloon was performed in four bifurcation lesions. No adverse event was observed during 1 month of clinical follow-up. Treatment of bifurcation lesions with this new dedicated device appears to be feasible. This new device may introduce a new approach for the treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions.     

Isolated stenosis of left anterior descending or right coronary artery: Relation between site of stenosis and ventricular dysfunction and therapeutic implications

Indications for coronary arterial bypass surgery in single vessel coronary artery disease are unresolved. To determine the extent of myocardium at risk with stenosis (70 percent or more) of a single coronary artery, left ventricular angiograms of 200 patients with stenosis confined to either the left anterior descending or right coronary artery and of 15 normal control subjects were assessed. Among patients without myocardial infarction, ejection fraction was unchanged (p > 0.05 versus normal values) in (1) those with stenosis of the proximal (above first septal branch, n = 19), mid (between septal and first diagonal branches, n = 14) and distal (within 2 cm distal to diagonal branch, n = 15) left anterior descending coronary artery, and (2) those with stenosis of the proximal (above acute marginal branch, n = 16) and distal (between acute marginal and posterior descending branches, n = 16) right coronary artery. In contrast, ejection fraction was depressed (p < 0.001 versus normal values) In left anterior descending arterial stenosis with anterior myocardial Infarction: proximal (38 ± 10 percent, n = 33), mid (46 ± 12 percent, n = 24; p < 0.01 versus proximal), and distal (56 ± 9 percent, n = 15; p < 0.01 versus mid). Ejection fraction was similar with proximal and distal stenosis of the right coronary artery and inferior Infarction: 54 ± 11 percent versus 55 ± 9 percent, p > 0.05; both p < 0.05 versus normal value. Shortening velocity was assessed in three anterior (I to III, base to apex) and three inferior (IV to VI, apex to base) equidistant hemichords perpendicular to the long axis, 30 ° right anterior oblique view. With anterior Infarction and left anterior descending stenosis, shortening of hemichords I to V, I to IV and II to III with proximal, mid and distal stenosis, respectively, was depressed (p < 0.05 versus normal value). Septal excursion and thickening on M mode echocardiography with proximal left anterior descending stenosis and infarction were depressed (p < 0.05 versus mid and distal stenosis with infarcts). Hemichordal shortening with Inferior infarction was similarly depressed (p > 0.05) with proximal and distal stenoses.In conclusion, stenosis of the left anterior descending coronary artery is a heterogenous disease, the extent of jeopardized myocardium is highly dependent on the site of stenosis, and the criteria for surgery cannot be applied uniformly. When the surgical goal is myocardial preservation, these data provide an objective rationale for bypass of stenosis of the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery. In stenosis confined to the right coronary artery, left ventricular preservation alone should not be considered an indication for coronary bypass grafting.

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty of the very proximal left anterior descending artery lesions: immediate results and follow-up

In order to assess the results of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty of the proximal (before the first septal branch) left anterior descending artery lesions, we analyzed the results in 206 consecutive patients, aged 56 +/- 12 years. The distance of the lesion from the origin of the left anterior descending artery was measured in the right oblique angiogram. The location of the lesions proved to be very proximal (less than 0.5 cm from the origin) in 22 patients, intermediate (0.5-1 cm from the origin) in 26 patients and distal (greater than 1 cm from the origin) in 158 patients. The initial angiographic success rate was similar among the 3 groups of patients: 95.8% in those with very proximal and intermediate lesions and 98.1% in those with distal lesions. Occlusive dissection of the left anterior descending artery without involvement of the mainstem occurred in 3.8% of the patients with intermediate lesions and in 1.9% of those with distal lesions. No complications occurred in any patient with very proximal lesions. The clinical follow-up was 25.2 +/- 12 months; angina recurred in 15.5% (31 out of 206 patients). Coronary angiography was performed in 103 patients. Restenosis occurred in 42.3% of the patients with very proximal and intermediate lesions (11 out of 26) and 31.2% of those with distal lesions (24 out of 77). In conclusion, in most patients with very proximal and intermediate lesions of left anterior descending artery, coronary angioplasty can be performed with low risk. The location of the lesion in the proximal portion of left anterior descending artery does not affect the overall success rate.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Localization of lesions in the coronary circulation

The location of coronary artery narrowings in coronary disease (CAD) is of considerable importance in assessing the mass of myocardium at risk as well as patient prognosis. The detailed distribution of coronary lesions was mapped in 302 patients with CAD who had coronary angiography for chest pain. All identifiable coronary lesions were measured manually and the site and degree of narrowing were stored in a computer-based multisegmental model of the coronary tree. A high prevalence of CAD was found in proximal vessels and especially at, or adjacent to, proximal points of branching. In the left anterior descending coronary artery, the lesions were most prevalent immediately after the first diagonal branch and at the origin of this branch. In the right coronary artery, there was a high prevalence of narrowing between the infundibular and acute marginal branches and specifically around the origin of the right ventricular branch. In the left circumflex coronary artery, there was a predilection for narrowing in and around the origin of the first marginal branch. When a ramus intermedius was present, its origin was frequently the site of narrowing.     

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty for multiple lesions in a coronary artery--report of two cases

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) was performed successfully in two patients with angina pectoris who had two separate significant stenotic lesions in a coronary artery. One patient had stenoses in segments 6 and 7 of the left anterior descending coronary artery. After PTCA, angina disappeared, an exercise ECG became negative and a 201Tl myocardial scintigram returned to normal. In the other patient, two separate stenotic lesions were found in segment 3 of the RCA. Angina and an exercise ECG improved after PTCA. These results suggest the validity of PTCA for multiple stenotic lesions in the same coronary artery.     

Effect of coronary occlusion site on angiographic and clinical outcome in acute myocardial infarction patients treated with early coronary intervention

In acute myocardial infarction that is treated with thrombolysis, proximal coronary artery occlusion is associated with worse prognosis, irrespective of the infarcted artery. Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is currently the treatment of choice for ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction. Therefore, we evaluated the prognostic significance of proximal versus distal coronary artery occlusion in patients with acute myocardial infarction that was treated with primary PCI. Between 1994 and 2001, patients with a first acute myocardial infarction that was treated with primary PCI were analyzed. A lesion was considered proximal if it was located proximal to the first diagonal branch in the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD), the first marginal obtuse branch in the left circumflex coronary artery, and the first right acute marginal branch in the right coronary artery. Lesions distal of these side branches were considered distal. In total, 1,468 patients were analyzed. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) for proximal LAD lesions was lower than that for distal ones (37 +/- 11% vs 42 +/- 11%, p <0.0001). Adjusted relative risk of 3-year mortality for proximal versus distal LAD was 4.04 (95% confidence interval 1.95 to 8.38). In patients with infarcts related to the right or left circumflex coronary artery, no significant association between lesion location and LVEF or mortality was seen. No difference was seen in adjusted 3-year mortality between distal LAD and non-LAD-related infarcts (p = 0.145). In conclusion, our analysis shows that, even in patients with acute myocardial infarction that is treated with primary PCI, infarcts related to the proximal LAD have the worst 3-year survival and lowest residual LVEF compared with distal LAD or non-LAD-related infarcts.     

Percutaneous coronary intervention in a sequential radial artery graft anastomosed to the descending aorta,left circumflex artery and obtuse marginal artery

We report percutaneous coronary intervention performed on a lesion located in a sequential radial artery graft anastomosed to the descending aorta, distal circumflex artery and obtuse marginal artery. Coronary angiography revealed an 80% stenosis in the mid-segment of the sequential radial artery graft. Conventional balloon angioplasty was performed through the proximal anastomosis at the descending aorta. The final angiogram demonstrated a good result.     

Angioplasty induced myocardial ischaemia prolongs the signal-averaged P-wave duration in single vessel coronary artery disease.

Aims The P-wave duration (PWD) has been shown to prolong in conditions associated with elevated left ventricular end-diastolic and left atrial pressures, which also increase during transient coronary artery occlusions such as angioplasty. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of angioplasty-induced myocardial ischaemia on signal averaged PWD in patients undergoing coronary angioplasty. Methods Eighty-four consecutive adult patients with single-vessel coronary artery disease undergoing elective coronary angioplasty were included. Duration of the P wave before and during coronary angioplasty were evaluated using signal averaged P-wave analysis. Patients were classified in groups according to the artery occluded, as left anterior descending (LAD) Group, right coronary artery (RCA) Group or Others Group (which included obtuse marginal, circumflex or diagonal). Results Patients included in the LAD, RCA and Others groups were similar with respect to clinical characteristics. The mean PWD at baseline was similar in all lesions (P>0.05), whereas mean PWD at inflation was significantly longer in LAD Group compared with RCA (126.1 +/- 9.5 ms vs 118.7 +/- 10.4 ms, P=0.007) and Others (126.1 +/- 9.5 ms vs 116.3 +/- 8.6 ms, P<0.001). The PWD during balloon inflation was significantly prolonged in all groups compared with baseline levels (LAD Group 126.1 +/- 9.6 ms vs 109.7 +/- 8.0 ms; RCA Group 118.7 +/- 10.4 ms vs 108.3 +/- 8.4 ms and Others Group 116.3 +/- 8.6 ms vs 109.7 +/- 6.0 ms, all P values <0.001). Conclusion Signal-averaged PWD significantly increases during single-vessel coronary angioplasty. This increase is more pronounced for LAD lesions. However, the clinical implications of P-wave prolongation during balloon angioplasty and the value of PWD as a measure of ischaemia remains to be clarified.     

Transthoracic echocardiography in the detection of chronic total coronary artery occlusion

Aims: The aim of our study was to detect chronic total occlusion ofthe left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD), circumflexcoronary artery (Cx), and right coronary artery (RCA) usingtransthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in 110 consecutive patientswho underwent coronary angiography for investigation of angina. Methods and results: Coronary blood flow direction was assessed in the epicardialcollaterals [distal LAD (dLAD), obtuse marginal branches andright posterior descending artery (PDA)] and intramyocardialcollaterals [LAD septal branch (SB LAD) and RCA septal branch(SB RCA)]. The sensitivity and specificity of retrograde flowfor identification of the occluded LAD by TTE in the dLAD onlywere 78 and 96%, respectively, and those in both dLAD and SBLAD were 89 and 96%, respectively. The retrograde SB LAD flowdetects proximal LAD occlusion with 88% sensitivity and 75%specificity. The sensitivity and specificity of retrograde flowfor identification of the occluded RCA by TTE in the PDA onlywere 79 and 97%, respectively, and those in both PDA and SBRCA were 89 and 97%, respectively. The retrograde SB RCA flowdoes not allow us to differentiate between proximal and non-proximalRCA occlusion. Transthoracic echocardiography is not a methodfor diagnosing Cx occlusions as the success in visualizing theCx epicardial collaterals was achieved in 31% of cases only. Conclusion: TTE is a sensitive and highly specific non-invasive method fordiagnosis of LAD and RCA occlusions, based on the detectionof the coronary blood flow direction in the epicardial and intramyocardialcollaterals.     

Angiographic Estimation of Relative Coronary Artery Flow Based on Terminal Branching Patterns

Angiographically “terminal” coronary arterial branches were counted in 100 normal coronary cineangiograms to investigate the possibility that three left ventricular wall regions might be defined by identifying patterns of arterial inflow. An average of 45% of the terminal branches were counted in the anterior region supplied by the anterior descending coronary artery; 25% were counted in the lateral region supplied by diagonal and obtuse marginal arteries, and 30% were counted in the inferior region supplied by the distal circumflex and distal right arteries. Based upon the hypothesis that blood flow through an artery is directly proportional to the number of small branches into which it ramifies, this approach affords an estimate of the relative contribution by individual coronary arteries to total left ventricular perfusion. This concept could prove useful in defining a quantitative grading system of coronary arterial Inflow obstruction.

Complete Myocardial Revascularization by Single Session Triple Vessel Percutaneous Coronary Angioplasty and Provisional Stenting

Background: Although availability of stents has made percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) safer, single vessel angioplasty still represents 90% of procedures performed today. We report our initial experience with single session triple vessel angioplasty, using stents as needed to improve suboptimal balloon results. Patients: Fourteen patients (12 men, 85%), aged 67 ± 19 years were treated. All had triple vessel disease and angina. Mean left ventricular ejection fraction was 61%± 8%. Results: PTCA was attempted in all three coronaries or one of their major branches during the same procedure. Seventeen target lesions were in the left anterior descending coronary artery, 2 in a diagonal branch, 11 in the left circumflex, 2 in a marginal branch, 13 in the right coronary artery, 3 in the posterior descending, and 1 a saphenous vein graft. PTCA of 3.5 ± 0.7 sites/procedure was attempted. The success rate was 13 (93%) of 14 patients and 47 (96%) of 49 lesions. Thirty-four (69%) lesions were treated by implantation of one or several stents, and 10 (71%) of 14 patients received at least one stent. Hospital stay duration was 4 ± 2 days. One patient required repeat PTCA to treat subacute stent thrombosis 2 days after the procedure (creatine kinase [CK] peak < 2 times upper limit of normal). There were no in-hospital deaths, Q-wave infarction, or need for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABC). After a median follow-up period of 24 months (range 3–102), one (7%) patient had died of a noncardiac cause, three (21 %) had required repeat PTCA for restenosis in previously dilated lesions, and none had suffered a myocardial infarction. At follow-up, the median angina class was I (range I-II). Conclusion: For selected patients with three vessel disease, complete revascularization by single session PTCA and provisional stenting as needed is feasible, and is associated with a low rate of short- and long-term complications when successfully performed.

Abstract：

Objective To evaluate the CT imaging characteristics of incomplete and complete myocardial bridges-mural coronary artery(MB-MCA). Methods Fifty subjects with dual source coronary CT angiography(DSCTA)evidenced MB were included. The subjects were divided into incomplete MBMCA and complete MB-MCA groups. The diameter of MCA in best systole phase and diastole phase, the MCA stenosis rate, the presence of atheromatous change proximal to the MB were evaluated. Results There were 58 MB, the average length was(2. 02 ± 1.02)cm, 23 were incomplete MB and 35 were complete MB.Thirty-two MB were in the middle segments of left anterior descending artery(55.2%);17 MB were in the distal segment of the left anterior descending artery(29. 3%);1 MB was in the proximal segment of left anterior descending artery;3 MB in diagonal branch;4 MB in obtuse marginal branch, 1 MB in distal right coronary artery. It was statistically significant difference between the incomplete MB-MCA and the complete MB-MCA of the diameter change in diastole and systole phase[(1.93 ±0. 49)mm,(1.71 ±0. 45)mm vs.(2.21 ±0.41)mm,(1.63 ±0.52)mm, P=0.008]and stenosis rate(10.38%±20.2%vs. 25.12% ±21.02%, P = 0. 01). Atherosclerotic finding was evidenced in 8 incomplete MB(34. 78%)and 15complete MB(42. 86%)at the proximal vessel of mural coronary artery(P ＞ 0. 05). Conclusion DSCTA can vividly display the incomplete and complete myocardial MB, accurately evaluate the shape change of MB-MCA in diastole and systole phase and detect the atherosclerotic change in the proximal vessel of MB.
