Ozaki Y, Katagiri Y, Onuma Y, et al., 2018, CVIT expert consensus document on primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in 2018, Cardiovascular Intervention and Therapeutics, Vol: 33, Pages: 178-203, ISSN: 1868-4300
While primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has significantly contributed to improve the mortality in patientswith ST segment elevation myocardial infarction even in cardiogenic shock, primary PCI is a standard of care in most ofJapanese institutions. Whereas there are high numbers of available facilities providing primary PCI in Japan, there are noclear guidelines focusing on procedural aspect of the standardized care. Whilst updated guidelines for the managementof acute myocardial infarction were recently published by European Society of Cardiology, the following major changesare indicated; (1) radial access and drug-eluting stent over bare metal stent were recommended as Class I indication, and(2) complete revascularization before hospital discharge (either immediate or staged) is now considered as Class IIa recommendation.Although the primary PCI is consistently recommended in recent and previous guidelines, the device lagfrom Europe, the frequent usage of coronary imaging modalities in Japan, and the difference in available medical therapyor mechanical support may prevent direct application of European guidelines to Japanese population. The Task Force onPrimary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention of the Japanese Association of Cardiovascular Intervention and Therapeutics(CVIT) has now proposed the expert consensus document for the management of acute myocardial infarction focusing onprocedural aspect of primary PCI.
Chiastra C, Iannaccone F, Grundeken MJ, et al., 2016, Coronary fractional flow reserve measurements of a stenosed side branch: a computational study investigating the influence of the bifurcation angle, Biomedical Engineering Online, Vol: 15, ISSN: 1475-925X
BackgroundCoronary hemodynamics and physiology specific for bifurcation lesions was not well understood. To investigate the influence of the bifurcation angle on the intracoronary hemodynamics of side branch (SB) lesions computational fluid dynamics simulations were performed.MethodsA parametric model representing a left anterior descending—first diagonal coronary bifurcation lesion was created according to the literature. Diameters obeyed fractal branching laws. Proximal and distal main branch (DMB) stenoses were both set at 60 %. We varied the distal bifurcation angles (40°, 55°, and 70°), the flow splits to the DMB and SB (55 %:45 %, 65 %:35 %, and 75 %:25 %), and the SB stenoses (40, 60, and 80 %), resulting in 27 simulations. Fractional flow reserve, defined as the ratio between the mean distal stenosis and mean aortic pressure during maximal hyperemia, was calculated for the DMB and SB (FFRSB) for all simulations.ResultsThe largest differences in FFRSB comparing the largest and smallest bifurcation angles were 0.02 (in cases with 40 % SB stenosis, irrespective of the assumed flow split) and 0.05 (in cases with 60 % SB stenosis, flow split 55 %:45 %). When the SB stenosis was 80 %, the difference in FFRSB between the largest and smallest bifurcation angle was 0.33 (flow split 55 %:45 %). By describing the ΔPSB−QSB relationship using a quadratic curve for cases with 80 % SB stenosis, we found that the curve was steeper (i.e. higher flow resistance) when bifurcation angle increases (ΔP = 0.451*Q + 0.010*Q 2 and ΔP = 0.687*Q + 0.017*Q 2 for 40° and 70° bifurcation angle, respectively). Our analyses revealed complex hemodynamics in all cases with evident counter-rotating helical flow structures. Larger bifurcation angles resulted in more pronounced helical flow structures (i.e. higher helicity intensity), when 60 or 80 % SB stenoses were present. A good correlation (R2 = 0.80) between the SB pressure drop and helici
Oemrawsingh RM, Cheng JM, Akkerhuis KM, et al., 2016, High-sensitivity C-reactive protein predicts 10-year cardiovascular outcome after percutaneous coronary intervention, Eurointervention, Vol: 12, Pages: 345-351, ISSN: 1969-6213
AIMS: This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) during 10-year follow-up after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS AND RESULTS: Between April and October 2002, hsCRP was measured in 468 all-comer patients who underwent PCI with sirolimus-eluting stent implantation for stable coronary artery disease or acute coronary syndrome. The primary endpoint was the composite of all-cause mortality or myocardial infarction at 10-year follow-up. Kaplan-Meier event curves displayed ongoing divergence of the hsCRP groups (hsCRP <1 mg/L: 14.7% vs. 1-3 mg/L: 31.1% vs. >3 mg/L: 43.1%). After adjustment for established cardiovascular risk factors and clinical presentation in a Cox regression model, higher CRP levels were associated with a higher incidence of the composite endpoint (>3 mg/L vs. <1 mg/L: HR 2.87, 95% CI: 1.69-4.87, p<0.001; 1-3 mg/L vs. <1 mg/L: HR 2.30, 95% CI: 1.31-4.03, p=0.004). Although adding hsCRP to a prediction model containing conventional cardiovascular risk factors did not significantly improve discriminatory power (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve 0.71 to 0.73, p=0.56), hsCRP was able to improve risk classification (net reclassification index=0.40, p=<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: In patients undergoing PCI, higher CRP levels at the time of the procedure are predictive for 10-year mortality and myocardial infarction. High-sensitivity CRP may be a useful biomarker to improve further risk assessment in patients undergoing PCI.
Sotomi Y, Tateishi H, Suwannasom P, et al., 2016, Quantitative assessment of the stent/scaffold strut embedment analysis by optical coherence tomography, International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging, Vol: 32, Pages: 871-883, ISSN: 1875-8312
The degree of stent/scaffold embedment could be a surrogate parameter of the vessel wall-stent/scaffold interaction and could have biological implications in the vascular response. We have developed a new specific software for the quantitative evaluation of embedment of struts by optical coherence tomography (OCT). In the present study, we described the algorithm of the embedment analysis and its reproducibility. The degree of embedment was evaluated as the ratio of the embedded part versus the whole strut height and subdivided into quartiles. The agreement and the inter- and intra-observer reproducibility were evaluated using the kappa and the interclass correlation coefficient (ICC). A total of 4 pullbacks of OCT images in 4 randomly selected coronary lesions with 3.0 × 18 mm devices [2 lesions with Absorb BVS and 2 lesions with XIENCE (both from Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA, USA)] from Absorb Japan trial were evaluated by two investigators with QCU-CMS software version 4.69 (Leiden University Medical Center, Leiden, The Netherlands). Finally, 1481 polymeric struts in 174 cross-sections and 1415 metallic struts in 161 cross-sections were analyzed. Inter- and intra-observer reproducibility of quantitative measurements of embedment ratio and categorical assessment of embedment in Absorb BVS and XIENCE had excellent agreement with ICC ranging from 0.958 to 0.999 and kappa ranging from 0.850 to 0.980. The newly developed embedment software showed excellent reproducibility. Computer-assisted embedment analysis could be a feasible tool to assess the strut penetration into the vessel wall that could be a surrogate of acute injury caused by implantation of devices.

Simsek C, Karanasos A, Magro M, et al., 2016, Long-term invasive follow-up of the everolimus-eluting bioresorbable vascular scaffold: five-year results of multiple invasive imaging modalities, Eurointervention, Vol: 11, Pages: 996-1003, ISSN: 1969-6213
AIMS: Invasive imaging modalities have shown restoration of vasomotion, prevention of restenosis and, most importantly, increase in lumen area between six months and two years after first-generation everolimus-eluting bioresorbable vascular scaffold (Absorb BVS) implantation. Our aim was to assess whether these positive findings were sustained in the long term. METHODS AND RESULTS: Patients included in the ABSORB cohort A from the Thoraxcenter Rotterdam cohort underwent coronary catheterisation including angiography, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), virtual histology, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and vasomotion testing at five years. Eight out of 16 patients underwent catheterisation and scaffold assessment with multiple imaging modalities. A trend towards an increase in minimum luminal diameter was observed between two and five years by angiography (1.95±0.37 mm vs. 2.14±0.38 mm; p=0.09). IVUS data showed an increase in mean lumen area at five years (6.96±1.13 mm2) compared to six months (6.17±0.74 mm2; p=0.06) and two years (6.56±1.16 mm2; p=0.12), primarily due to a persistent reduction in plaque area size between six months and five years (9.17±1.86 mm2 vs. 7.57±1.63 mm2; p=0.03). The necrotic core area was reduced at five years compared to post-procedural results. In OCT, an increase in mean and minimal luminal area was observed. Moreover, no scaffold struts could be identified and a smooth endoluminal lining was observed. The scaffolded coronary segment did not show signs of endothelial dysfunction with acetylcholine testing. CONCLUSIONS: At five years, the Absorb BVS is no longer discernible by any invasive imaging method and endothelial function is restored. Late luminal enlargement persists up to five years of follow-up without adaptive vessel remodelling.

Albuquerque FN, Bortnick A, Iqbal J, et al., 2015, Dual antiplatelet therapy, drug-eluting stents and bioresorbable vascular scaffolds: Evolutionary perspectives, Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Vol: 87, Pages: 909-919, ISSN: 1522-726X
Dual antiplatelet therapy reduces the risk of myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, and cardiovascular mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention, but the optimal duration of therapy remains unclear. Stent thrombosis, one of the most feared complications of coronary intervention, is associated with high mortality and morbidity and is related in part to technical and patient-specific factors. Advances in device technology and better understanding of the pathophysiology of stent thrombosis have reduced the frequency of this devastating complication. Bioresorbable vascular scaffolds possess a number of advantageous features and are currently undergoing active investigation. Bioresorbable vascular scaffolds have been demonstrated to restore physiologic vasomotion, allow for late lumen enlargement, and upon full resorption remove the nidus for very late polymer reactions and resolve concerns of stent malapposition and side branch jailing. Based on the results from recent large-scale randomized trials, the optimal duration of dual antiplatelet therapy may depend on the choice of device type, as well as the individual patient risk of ischemic versus hemorrhagic complications.
