Abstract
Background: Intravascular imaging-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been shown to improve clinical outcomes in patients with complex coronary artery lesions compared with angiography-guided PCI. However, the prognostic impact of suboptimal findings on intravascular imaging such as stent underexpansion, malapposition, or dissection is unclear in the era of contemporary drug-eluting stents.
Methods: From RENOVATE-COMPLEX-PCI (Randomized Controlled Trial of Intravascular Imaging Guidance Versus Angiography-Guidance on Clinical Outcomes After Complex Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) which compared imaging-guided PCI with angiography-guided PCI in patients with complex lesions, post-PCI intravascular imaging findings, including minimum stent area (MSA), relative stent underexpansion (MSA≤80% of the average reference lumen area), malapposition, or dissection, were assessed in nonleft main target lesions. The primary end point was target lesion failure (TLF), a composite of cardiac death, target lesion-related myocardial infarction, target lesion revascularization, or definite stent thrombosis.
Results: A total of 897 nonleft main lesions from 714 patients undergoing imaging-guided PCI were included. During a median follow-up duration of 2.1 years, the optimal cutoff value of MSA to predict the occurrence of TLF was 5.5 mm2, and MSA<5.5 mm2 was associated with a significantly higher risk of TLF than MSA≥5.5 mm2 (2.2% versus 4.8%; adjusted hazard ratio, 3.09 [95% CI, 1.01-9.50]; P=0.048). Compared with the reference group (MSA≥5.5 mm2 and no suboptimal findings), the subgroup of patients with MSA≥5.5 mm2 and post-PCI intravascular imaging findings of relative stent underexpansion, major malapposition, or major dissection was associated with a numerically increased risk of TLF (0.0% versus 3.2%; P=0.057). Compared with the same reference group, the subgroup of patients with MSA<5.5 mm2 and suboptimal post-PCI intravascular imaging findings was associated with a significantly increased risk of TLF (0.0% versus 4.7%; P=0.017).
Conclusions: After intravascular imaging-guided PCI with contemporary drug-eluting stents for nonleft main complex lesions, inadequate absolute stent expansion was independently associated with a higher risk of TLF. Suboptimal post-PCI intravascular imaging findings of relative stent underexpansion, major malapposition, and major dissection seem to contribute to the risk of TLF.
期刊介绍:
Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, an American Heart Association journal, focuses on interventional techniques pertaining to coronary artery disease, structural heart disease, and vascular disease, with priority placed on original research and on randomized trials and large registry studies. In addition, pharmacological, diagnostic, and pathophysiological aspects of interventional cardiology are given special attention in this online-only journal.
