Abstract
Background
Stent underexpansion is a major risk factor for in-stent restenosis and acute in-stent thrombosis1Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is one of the standards for detection of stent underexpansion (de Feyter et al. 1999; Mintz et al., 2001). StentBoost (SB) enhancement allows an improved angiographic visualization of the stent (Koolen et al., 2005).
Aim of work
Comparison of stent expansion by IVUS and SB enhancement and detection of value of SB to guide dilatation post stent deployment.
Methodology
IVUS, SB enhancement and QCA were done in 30 patients admitted for elective stenting procedures .We compared measurements of mean ±standard deviations of (Max SD, Min SD, Mean SD, stent symmetry index) using IVUS, SB and QCA after stent deployment and after postdilatation whenever necessary to optimize stent deployment. The Stent symmetry index was calculated [(maximum stent diameter minus minimum stent diameter) divided by maximum stent diameter].
Results
The Max SD was (3.45 ± 0.62 vs 3.55 ± 0.56 vs 2.97 ± 0.59) by IVUS vs SB vs QCA respectively. Max SD was significantly higher by IVUS vs QCA (p .009) and between SB vs QCA (p .001) while there was nonsignificant difference between IVUS vs SB (p .53). The Min SD was (2.77 ± 0.53 vs 2.58 ± 0.56 vs 1.88 ± 0.60) by IVUS vs SB vs QCA respectively. Min SD was significantly higher by IVUS vs QCA (p .001) and between SB vs QCA (p .001) while there was nonsignificant difference between IVUS vs SB (p .07). The stent symmetry index was (0.24 ±0.09 vs 0.34 ± 0.09 vs 0.14 ±0.27) by IVUS vs SB vs QCA respectively. It was significantly higher by IVUS vs QCA (p .001) and between SB vs QCA (p .001) while there was nonsignificant difference between IVUS vs SB (p .32). SB was positively correlated with IVUS measurements of Max SD (p < .0001 & r 0.74) and Min SD (p < .0001 & r 0.68). QCA was positively correlated with IVUS measurements of Max SD correlation (p < .0001 & r 0.69) and Min SD (p < .0001 & r 0.63). QCA was positively correlated with SB measurements of Max SD (p < .0001 & r 0.61) and Min SD (p .003 & r 0.49).
Conclusions
StentBoost enhancement has superior correlations for stent expansion measured by IVUS when compared with QCA. SB enhancement improved stent visualization and identification of stent underexpansion to guide stent postdilatation.
