RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the image characteristics of woven coronary artery (WCA)on intravascular ultrasound(IVUS) and optical coherence tomography(OCT).Methods:Thirty-seven patients suspected of WCA on coronary angiography were enrolled from Teaching Hospital of Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medcine, Zhengzhou Cardiovascular Disease Hospital and Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University from January 2013 to July 2020. The intraluminal imaging features of WCA were analyzed using IVUS and OCT.Results:Of the 37 patients admitted at the cardiology service, 9 patients had WCA. All the patients underwent coronary angiography, IVUS and OCT, of which 6 lesions were located on the right coronary artery, 2 lesions were located on the left anterior descending artery and 1 patient had WCA on the circumflex artery. The mean length of WCA lesions was 2.2 cm(ranged from 1.2 cm to 4.5 cm). The angiographic appearance of WCA was numerous small tortious channels origined form the main lumen. The channels appeared to be " doughnut" like pattern and they merged to normal artery again after the anomalous segment. Flow limitation was rare unless there was coronary atherosclerosis. OCT and IVUS showed multiple spiral channels in the anomalous segment, which were independent of each other and each channels had a relatively complete three-layers vascular structure.Conclusions:With typical image characteristics, IVUS and OCT are able to screen out WCA and guide the treatment decision making.
RESUMEN
This study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Y ixin Tongmai Decoction in prevention and treatment of diabetes mellitus complicated with coronary heart disease ( CHD ) after coronary stenting restenosis . Sixty cases were randomly divided into the conventional western medicine treatment plus Y ixin Tongmai Decoction group ( treatment group ) and conventional treatment of western medicine group ( control group ) . Observation was given on the in-stent restenosis before treatment and one-year after treatment . And the traditional Chinese medicine ( TCM ) Syndrome Scale , changes of single symptom in TCM syndrome , effect of Y ixin Tongmai Decoction on blood glucose and other adverse reactions were also observed before and one-year after treatment . The results showed that in the curative effect evaluation , the restenosis rate of treatment group was 6 . 90%, and the restenosis rate of control group was 17 . 24%. There was significant difference be-tween two groups ( P < 0 . 05 ) . According to the standard of TCM syndrome curative effect , the total effective-ness in the treatment group was 86 . 21%, and that of the control group was 31 . 03%. And there was signifi-cant difference between two groups ( P < 0 . 05 ) . In the safety evaluation , there were no obvious abnormalities during safety detection in the clinical study of two groups. There was no influence on blood sugar levels. And no drug related adverse reactions occurred . It was concluded that Y ixin Tongmai Decoction can reduce coro-nary stent restenosis rate in diabetes complicated with CHD (chest pain) with the syndrome of qi deficiency and blood stasis , phlegm-turbid stasis . It can significantly improve the TCM syndrome and single symptom of patients with good safety .
