However, the use of these devices in complex coronary lesions has also created an incessant form of in-stent restenosis that still defies treatment. Plaque burden has been recognized as an important factor that may incite neo-intimal proliferation after stent implantation. Prospective non-randomized experience has shown that plaque removal prior to stent implantation using directional atherectomy is a promising approach to reduce restenosis in selected patients. However, the proof of concept awaits the results of the randomized trials. Ultimately, the clinical utility of this approach will depend upon: (1) further improvements on the current directional atherectomy device; (2) minimizing the incidence of non-Q-wave myocardial infarction with selective use of IIb-IIIa platelet receptor antagonists or distal protection devices; (3) targeting patients at high risk for restenosis in whom efficient debulking is feasible such as non-calcified lesions in vessels >2.75 mm and <3.5 mm in diameter that require long stents, aorto-ostial lesions, bifurcational lesions, and chronic total occlusions.","PeriodicalId":79534,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in interventional cardiology : SIIC","volume":"5 4 1","pages":"217-25"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"58333260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The trend toward improved lumen results and reduced restenosis following DCA compared to percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in the Coronary Angioplasty Versus Excisional Atherectomy Trial (CAVEAT) was confirmed as a significant improvement in the subsequent Balloon versus Optimal Atherectomy Trial (BOAT). BOAT showed that acute lumen results and late angiographic restenosis could be significantly improved by DCA over PTCA, without any increase in procedural complications or late cardiac events. The role of DCA in conjunction with coronary stents is currently being defined as studies suggest that residual plaque burden after stenting is predictive of late restenosis. The Atherectomy before Multilink Stent Improves Lumen Gain and Clinical Outcomes Study (AMIGO) will help determine whether plaque debulking prior to stenting can reduce restenosis.","PeriodicalId":79534,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in interventional cardiology : SIIC","volume":"5 4 1","pages":"193-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"58333625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The various clinical presentations of coronary disease are related to distinct morphological aspects of the culprit coronary stenosis as assessed by angiography, angioscopy or intravascular ultrasound imaging. Analysis of plaque fragments revealed the underlying histopathology. Restenotic lesions following various mechanical interventions have been studied in detail both in native coronary arteries and in bypass conduits. The biological reaction to implantation of endovascular stents involves inflammation around the stent wires as well as smooth muscle cell proliferation. Specific processes such as nitric oxide production or the activity of intramural proteases can be characterized and contribute to identify targets for future pharmacological therapy.","PeriodicalId":79534,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in interventional cardiology : SIIC","volume":"5 4 1","pages":"175-84"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"58333171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this review, we outline some of the key descriptive findings that have emerged from the study of atherectomy specimens.
