ABSTRACT

Objective: To examine the clinical outcomes of optical coherence tomography (OCT)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods: We retrospectively investigated 533 consecutive patients who underwent primary PCI for STEMI between June 2016 and December 2020. The primary endpoint was a target lesion failure (TLF; defined as a composite of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, or target lesion revascularization). Propensity score (PS) matching was performed to allow direct comparison of OCT-guided and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided PCI. Results: Patients in the OCT group (n=166) were younger than those in the IVUS group (n=367) and had a significantly higher left ventricular ejection fraction and estimated glomerular filtration rate. Killip class IV and left main stem disease were more common in the IVUS group. The median peak creatine kinase level was comparable between the two groups (1953 U/L vs 1603 U/L). A significantly larger amount of contrast was used in the OCT group (200 mL vs 165 mL; p<0.001). The cumulative incidence of TLF during a median follow-up of 2.2 years did not differ significantly between OCT and IVUS groups (9.6% vs 13.6%; p=0.221) but cardiac mortality was significantly higher in the IVUS group (8.7% vs 3.6%; p=0.047). After PS matching (n=161 in each group), there was no significant between-group difference in TLF or any other clinical outcome measures. Conclusions: OCT-guided PCI demonstrated clinical outcomes in patients with STEMI that were comparable to those of IVUS-guided PCI despite considerable differences in background characteristics.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Given the characteristic differences between intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI), their approach to therapeutic guidance during percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) and arterial healing response after stenting may also vary. METHODS: MISTIC-1 (The Multimodality Imaging Study in Cardiology cohort 1) is a multicenter, randomized-controlled, noninferiority trial that compared imaging end points between OFDI- and IVUS-guided PCI. Patients with stable coronary artery disease were randomly assigned to either OFDI- or IVUS-guided PCI using a Biolimus A9-eluting stent according to a prespecified protocol for imaging guidance. Stent sizing was based on external elastic lamina in IVUS-guided PCI while lumen up-size in OFDI-guided PCI. Postprocedural OFDI was investigated regardless of randomization, while operators in IVUS-guided PCI arm were blinded to the images. The primary end point was in-segment minimum lumen area assessed using OFDI at 8 months, while the secondary end point was a composite of cardiovascular mortality, target-vessel myocardial infarction, or target-lesion revascularization (device-oriented composite end point). Patients were followed up to 3 years after the index procedure. RESULTS: A total of 109 patients (mean age 70 years, male 78%) with 126 lesions were enrolled. Postprocedural minimum stent area was 6.31±1.89 and 6.72±2.08 mm2 in OFDI and IVUS group, respectively (P=0.26). At the 8-month follow-up, in-segment minimum lumen area was 4.56±1.94 and 4.13±1.86 mm2 in OFDI and IVUS group, respectively (Pnon-inferiority <0.001). Both groups had comparable neointimal healing score (median 0.16 [interquartile range, 0.00-3.14] versus 0.90 [0.00-3.30], respectively; P=0.43). The incidence rate of device-oriented composite end point at 3 years was 7.4% and 7.3% in OFDI and IVUS group, respectively (hazard ratio, 1.05 [95% CI, 0.26-4.18]; P=0.95). CONCLUSIONS: OFDI-guided PCI was not inferior to IVUS-guided PCI in terms of in-segment minimum lumen area at 8 months. Although a small sample size was acknowledged, OFDI could be an alternative to IVUS when considering intracoronary imaging-guided PCI in selected populations with coronary artery diseases.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: We sought to examine associations between plaque characteristics by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and detectability of external elastic lamina (EEL) by optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI) in human coronary arteries. BACKGROUND: It is often challenging to detect EEL which represents vessel size by light-based imaging modalities due to light intensity attenuation through atherosclerotic plaque. METHODS: IVUS and OFDI prior to stent implantation were sequentially investigated per protocol. We identified corresponding cross-sections by minimum lumen area (MLA) or just distally to side branches as anatomical landmarks. Plaque characterization was determined by integrated backscatter IVUS analysis. We categorized detectable EEL arc by OFDI into four groups: 0≤ and <1 quadrant (group 1), 1≤ and <2 quadrants (group 2), 2≤ and <3 quadrants (group 3), or 3≤ and <4 quadrants (group 4). RESULTS: We prospectively studied 103 vessels in 93 patients with stable coronary artery disease. Corresponding 711 cross-sections were analyzed. Cross-sections with detectable EEL arc <2 quadrants (group 1 or 2) were observed in 86.1% of MLA sites but only in 29.3% of non-MLA sites (p < .05). Percentage plaque area (%PA) appeared to be the strongest predictor to detect EEL arc <2 quadrants with the cut-off of 60.3% (AUC 0.90; sensitivity 79.8%, specificity 85.5%). Lipid pool and calcification remained statistically significant in predicting detectable EEL arc <2 quadrants after adjustment with %PA. CONCLUSIONS: Presence of large plaque burden, lipid pool, and calcification significantly predicts the detectability of EEL by OFDI assessment. Locations with detectable EEL arc <2 quadrants should thus be avoided for optimal stent landing zone.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: This study evaluated the ability of a newly developed integrated backscatter intravascular ultrasound (IB-IVUS) system (VISIWAVE, Terumo, Tokyo, Japan) to detect optical coherence tomography (OCT)-verified thin cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) and assessed the correlation with peri-procedural myocardial infarction (PMI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS AND RESULTS: One hundred culprit lesions in 100 consecutive patients with ischemic heart disease who consented to repeated IVUS and OCT prior to PCI were studied. Of 100 lesions, 48 had OCT-verified TCFA with a cap thickness <65 µm. Such lesions had larger percentage lipid area and lipid angle >2 quadrants on IB-IVUS. A lipid core abutting lumen (LCAL) was defined as a lipid core pool in the plaque area, directly contacting with the lumen regardless of its circumferential extension. IB-IVUS-identified TCFA defined as a combination of percentage lipid area ≥53.6%, remodeling index ≥1.03, and the presence of LCAL was the best predictor of OCT-verified TCFA with sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and accuracy of 72.9%, 90.4%, 87.5%, 78.3%, and 82.0%, respectively. IB-IVUS-identified TCFA as well as OCT-verified TCFA were significant independent predictors of PMI, after adjusting for other predictors on multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS: IB-IVUS can be used to identify plaques with a high prevalence of TCFA. Such techniques can therefore potentially be used to identify lesions with an elevated risk of PMI after PCI.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: While the utilization of integrated backscatter intravascular ultrasound (IB-IVUS) for the quantitative in vivo assessment of coronary plaque continues to grow, the validity of IB-IVUS images obtained from newly developed and conventional systems remains uncertain. METHODS AND RESULTS: To assess the accuracy and reliability of a newly developed IB-IVUS system (VISIWAVE) as compared to the conventional system (Clearview), we compared quantitative IB-IVUS plaque characteristics in the 2 systems using 125 post-mortem specimens from 26 coronary arteries in 11 cadavers, as well as using 200 clinical plaques in 32 patients undergoing coronary intervention. The overall agreement between the histological and IB-IVUS diagnoses using VISIWAVE (Cohen's κ=0.82, 95%CI: 0.73-0.90) was similar to that using Clearview (Cohen's κ=0.80, 95%CI: 0.71-0.89). The 2 systems also demonstrated comparably high sensitivity and specificity. In the direct comparison, the overall agreement between IB-IVUS diagnoses using VISIWAVE and Clearview was also excellent (Cohen's κ=0.87, 95%CI: 0.78-0.95). In the clinical comparison, measured plaque dimensions were similar (VISIWAVE: 8.27±3.46 mm(2) vs. Clearview; 8.31±3.46 mm(2), P=0.44) and there was strong concordance between both greyscale and IB-IVUS parameters. CONCLUSIONS: There was close agreement of analyzed results in both systems when compared with the gold standard of histology. Both systems are able to reliably and accurately characterize coronary plaque and thereby make a valuable contribution to our understanding of atherosclerosis.
