Event Description
|
A journal article titled - impacts of lesion angle on incidence and distribution of acute vessel wall injuries and strut malapposition after drug-eluting stent implantation assessed by optical coherence tomography - was submitted for review.The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of lesion angle on the incidence and distribution of acute vessel wall injuries, and incomplete stent apposition (isa) following second-generation drug-eluting stent (des) implantation using optical coherence tomography (oct).The qualitative analysis included edge dissection, in stent dissection, thrombus, isa, and tissue protrusion.Major adverse cardiac event (mace) was defined as the composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, and target lesion revascularization (tlr).Tlr and target vessel revascularization were defined as any revascularization procedure of the target lesion and the target vessel, respectively.A total of 243 lesions treated with a single des were included in the study, with 95 of these being treated with the medtronic resolute integrity drug-eluting stent.All lesions were classified into an angled group of = 45° or non angled group <45°.The vessel wall injuries and isa were evaluated by a non-medtronic oct.The incidence of in-stent dissection, thrombus, and isa was significantly higher in the angled group than in the non-angled group.The incidence of edge dissection and tissue protrusion was comparable between the two groups.The normalized volume of thrombus, the percentage of malapposed struts, and the maximum malapposed distance were also comparable between the two groups.The incidence of major adverse cardiac events within 12 months was similar between the groups.
