The purpose of this communication is to describe the angiographic methodology for the DAIS project, and to present data documenting the reproducibility of measurements that will determine the primary outcome of DAIS. Four hundred eighteen subjects between the ages of 40 and 65 were entered from 11 centers in Canada, France, Finland, and Sweden, with 305 males and 113 females. Thirty-two percent of subjects had undergone a previous coronary artery intervention, either PTCA or bypass grafting. Subjects underwent coronary arteriography at baseline according to a strictly defined protocol. The coronary tree was divided into AHA segments and quantitative analysis of segments was performed using the cardiovascular measurement system described by Reiber. Geometric parameters including mean lumen diameter, minimum lumen diameter, maximum lumen diameter, and segment length were determined. In 15 studies, measurements were carried out on the same frame by two observers, and at least 1 week apart by the same observer. In 13 studies, measurements were performed by the same observer on two separate injections of the same coronary artery. The mean of the standard deviation of the differences of measurements of all segments for the primary study analyst was 0.029 mm, with a mean of correlation coefficients of 1.00. Between two observers, the mean of the standard deviations of segmental mean lumen diameters was 0.347 mm with a mean of coefficients of variation of 0.78. The mean of standard deviations for measurements of segmental mean lumen diameter from two separate coronary injections was 0.122, with a mean of correlation coefficients of 0.94. The mean of correlation coefficients for minimum lumen diameter were 0.98 for intraobserver variability, 0.77 for inter-observer variability, and 0.96 for inter-angiogram variability. For segment length the corresponding values were 0.99, 0.79, and 0.94. These data demonstrate that a high level of reproducibility and precision may be achieved in a multicenter study in assessment of the coronary tree in carefully performed studies using this methodology.

Heparin administered during PCI is known to nonuniformly suppress thrombin activity in the coronary. Persistent elevations of FPA in coronary sinus (CS) blood during PCI have been associated with subsequent ischemic events. As a related consideration, rebound thrombin activity has been demonstrated in peripheral blood samples several hours after cessation of heparin therapy in patients with acute coronary syndromes. Accordingly, we hypothesized that increased thrombin activity occurs in the coronary circulation after PCI and is induced by cessation of intravenous heparin to facilitate vascular sheath removal. Such a rebound prothrombotic effect, may contribute to suboptimal outcomes after PCI. In 21 patients undergoing PCI, heparin-bonded catheters were employed to obtain sequential CS and femoral vein (FV) blood samples for measurement in the coronary and peripheral circulation of plasma FPA, a marker of thrombin activity in vivo, and BTG released by platelets during degranulation. Following heparin administration samples were obtained immediately prior to (base) and during (start and end) PCI. Late samples were obtained several hours after PCI (284 +/- 46 min, mean +/- SD) following the cessation of heparin and prior to planned vascular sheath removal. Mean FPA concentration in CS blood was low at baseline (3.82 +/- 2.09 ng/ml) and did not increase during PCI. Mean FPA concentration in CS blood increased significantly several hours after cessation of heparin (3.42 +/- 2.36 vs. 7.82 +/- 9.98, end vs. late, P < 0.001). In contrast, mean FPA concentration in FV blood was highest at baseline following vascular sheath insertion, decreased during PCI (69%, P < 0.05, base vs. end), and trended upward after PCI and cessation of heparin. Mean FPA values were higher at all times in FV compared with CS blood samples and were not concordant after PCI. Elevation of coronary circulation FPA after PCI was maximal in patients with myocardial infarction within 7 days (13.7 +/- 12.4 vs. 5.6 +/- 7.9 ng/ml, P = 0.08), but was not influenced by heparin treatment prior to PCI, a history of unstable angina, or coronary stent placement during PCI (9 of 21 patients). BTG values showed less variation than did FPA values, and cessation of heparin after PCI was not associated with an increase in BTG in CS or FV blood samples. An increase in thrombin activity occurs in the coronary circulation after PCI following discontinuation of heparin.
