      Difference of vascular healing between bioabsorbable-polymer and durable-polymer new generation drug-eluting stents: an optical coherence tomographic analysis

      The comparison of bioabsorbable-polymer and durable-polymer stents has continued to be debated, and there is ongoing concern regarding vascular healing and late stent thrombosis. This study compared the vascular healing at 8-month follow-up by optical coherence tomography (OCT) between 4 different kinds of new generation drug-eluting stents (DESs). We enrolled 112 patients (112 de novo lesions) who underwent OCT guided percutaneous coronary intervention with 4 kinds of new generation DESs including bioabsorbable-polymer everolimus-eluting stents (BP-EESs), bioabsorbable-polymer sirolimus-eluting stents (BP-SESs), durable-polymer everolimus-eluting stents (DP-EESs), and durable-polymer zotarolimus-eluting stents (DP-ZESs) and an 8-month follow-up angiogram and OCT were performed between July 2016 ...

      Clinical impact of a new optical coherence tomography-derived volumetric method for evaluating stent expansion

      The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of a new optical coherence tomography (OCT)-derived volumetric method for stent expansion (new-OCT method) to predict the target lesion revascularization (TLR) and compare the expansion findings between this new method and the conventional method because, in the real world, there are few clinical data on the new-OCT-method for stent expansion. One hundred forty lesions in 135 patients who underwent OCT-guided percutaneous coronary intervention were enrolled. We compared the new-OCT-method and conventional method to predict the TLR at 1 year. A total of 7 lesions (5.0% of treated lesions ...

      Characteristics of abnormal post‐stent optical coherence tomography findings in hemodialysis patients

      Aim Clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in hemodialysis (HD) patients are significantly worse than those in non‐HD patients. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a high resolution imaging modality and provides a detailed assessment of post‐interventional abnormal findings that influence worse clinical outcomes. However, little is known about the abnormal post‐stent OCT findings in HD patients. Therefore, in this study, we compared the abnormal post‐stent OCT findings between HD and non‐HD patients. Methods One hundred thirty‐nine consecutive OCT guided PCI (21 lesions in HD patients and 118 lesions in non‐HD patients) were ...

      Different Neoatherosclerosis Patterns in Drug-Eluting- and Bare-Metal Stent Restenosis　― Optical Coherence Tomography Study ―

      Abstract Background: There are few reports about the differences between drug-eluting stents (DES) and bare metal stents (BMS) in neoatherosclerosis associated with in-stent restenosis (ISR), so we compared the frequency and characteristics of neoatherosclerosis with ISR evaluated by optical coherence tomography (OCT) in the present study. Methods and Results: Between March 2009 and November 2016, 98 consecutive patients with ISR who underwent diagnostic OCT were enrolled: 34 patients had a BMS, 34 had a 1st-generation DES, and 30 had a 2nd-generation DES. Neoatherosclerosis was defined as a lipid neointima (including a thin-cap fibroatheroma [TCFA] neointima, defined as a fibroatheroma with ...

      New Volumetric Analysis Method for Stent Expansion and its Correlation With Final Fractional Flow Reserve and Clinical Outcome An ILUMIEN I Substudy

      Download figure Open in new tab Download powerpoint Abstract Objectives This study sought to compare conventional methodology (CM) with a newly described optical coherence tomography (OCT)-derived volumetric stent expansion analysis in terms of fractional flow reserve (FFR)-derived physiology and device-oriented composite endpoints (DoCE). Background The analysis of coronary stent expansion with intracoronary imaging has used CM that relies on the analysis of selected single cross-sections for several decades. The introduction of OCT with its ability to perform semiautomated volumetric analysis opens opportunities to redefine optimal stent expansion. Methods A total of 291 lesions treated with post-stent OCT and ...

      Automated Volumetric Intravascular Plaque Classification Using Optical Coherence Tomography

      An estimated 17.5 million people died from a cardiovascular disease in 2012, representing 31 percent of all global deaths. Most acute coronary events result from rupture of the protective fibrous cap overlying an atherosclerotic plaque. The task of early identification of plaque types that can potentially rupture is, therefore, of great importance. The state-of-the-art approach to imaging blood vessels is intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT). However, currently, this is an offline approach where the images are first collected and then manually analyzed an image at a time to identify regions at risk of thrombosis. This process is extremely laborious ...

      Failure Mechanisms and Neoatherosclerosis Patterns in Very Late Drug-Eluting and Bare-Metal Stent Thrombosis

      Background— There are few clinical studies on the pathophysiological mechanisms of very late stent thrombosis (VLST). We report optical coherence tomography findings in patients with VLST and compare the findings between bare-metal stents (BMS) and drug-eluting stents (DES). Methods and Results— We conducted a registry of stent thrombosis at 4 North American centers with optical coherence tomography imaging programs SAFE registry (The Study of Late Stent Failure Evaluated by OCT). Images were acquired in 61 patients (42 DES and 19 BMS) presenting with definite VLST. The median duration from implantation to VLST presentation was 51.4 months in the DES ...

      Different serial changes in the neointimal condition of sirolimus-eluting stents and paclitaxel-eluting stents: an optical coherence tomographic study

      Aims: Detailed long-term changes of the neointima in sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) and paclitaxel-eluting stents (PES) are still unclear. Methods and results: We consecutively enrolled 14 patients (18 SES) and 12 patients (13 PES) who underwent optical coherence tomography (OCT) serially at eight months and 18 months after stent implantation. For 18 SES and 13 PES, OCT was used to visualise 2,486 and 1,361 stent struts at the eight-month and 2,199 and 1,309 stent struts at the 18-month follow-up, respectively. The OCT parameters, including incidence of uncovered and malapposed struts (uncovered and malapposed percentage), average neointimal hyperplasia ...

      Difference of neointimal growth patterns in bifurcation lesions among four kinds of drug-eluting stents: An optical coherence tomographic study

      Aim : Neointimal proliferation of bifurcation lesions after implantation of drug-eluting stents (DES) has not been well evaluated. Thus, we compared neointimal proliferation of bifurcation lesions among four DES using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods : Eight-month follow-up OCT was performed in 68 bifurcation lesions treated by 15 sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) and 17 paclitaxel-eluting stents (PES) as first-generation DES, and by 17 zotarolimus-eluting stents (ZES) and 19 everolimus-eluting stents (EES) as second-generation DES. Cross-sectional images of the bifurcation lesion using OCT were analyzed every 450 µm. All images were divided into three areas: inner wall of the bifurcation (IB), outer wall of ...

      Differences in Optical Coherence Tomographic Findings and Clinical Outcomes Between Excimer Laser and Cutting Balloon Angioplasty for Focal In-Stent Restenosis Lesions

      In-stent restenosis (ISR), especially focal ISR, after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains one of the major clinical problems in the drug-eluting stent (DES) era. Several reports have revealed that excimer laser coronary angioplasty (ELCA) is useful for ISR; however, detailed findings after ELCA are unknown. Therefore, we investigated the condition of the neointima after ELCA for ISR with optical coherence tomography (OCT) and compared the OCT findings and clinical outcome between ELCA and cutting-balloon angioplasty (CBA). Methods. Twenty-one consecutive patients with focal ISR who underwent ELCA or CBA were enrolled. All patients underwent 12- to 15-month follow-up coronary angiography. OCT ...
