Event Description
|
A journal article was submitted for review titled: clinical implications of poststent optical coherence tomographic findings: severe malposition and cardiac events.The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of poststent optical coherence tomography (oct) findings including severe malposition on long-term clinical outcomes.A total of 1,290 patients with 1,348 lesions who underwent oct immediately post stenting were eligible for this study and were enrol led.Lesions treated included the left main, left anterior descending artery, left circumflex artery, right coronary artery and ramus intermedius.Lesions had a mean stenosis of 66%.Patients received drug-eluting stents (des) including sirolimus-eluting stents, paclitaxel-eluting stents, zotarolimus eluting stents, everolimus eluting stents or biolimus a9-eluting stents.Medtronic endeavour rx stents and resolute integrity stents were the zotarolimus eluting stents used during this study.Each des was implanted according to current standard techniques and pre-dilation, post-stent dilation, application of mechanical support or concomitant medication, were performed at the discretion of the operator.Post-stent oct findings included stent edge dissection, stent malposition, malposed struts, tissue protrusion/prolapse, thrombus and stent under expansion.Follow up oct was performed at 3, 6, or 12 months after the initial angioplasty.Cardiac deaths, definite, probable and possible stent thromboses, stent occlusion, target vessel-related mi and target lesion revascularization (tlr).
