Serial angiographic follow-up after palmaz-schatz stent implantation: Comparison with conventional balloon angioplasty

Percutaneous endovascular treatment (transluminar balloon angioplasty with or without stent implantation) of innominate artery lesions has become the treatment of choice prior to surgery in the past decades. Authors present the diagnostics, treatment and follow-up of two patients as examples from their largest series in the literature. A 74-year-old male patient with a history of hyperlipidemia, hypertension, nicotine abuse and lower limb claudication was admitted because of acute upper limb claudication and dizziness. Physical examination revealed blood pressure difference of 30 mmHg between his arms, and poststenotic flow pattern in the common carotid artery with retrograde flow in the vertebral artery on carotid duplex scan. Diagnostic angiography showed 80% stenosis of the innominate artery, which was treated with percutaneous transluminar balloon angioplasty with stent implantation. Follow-up examination at 5 months showed no significant restenosis or neurological complication. The second patient was a 59-year-old smoker female patient with hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus, who was evaluated for her upper limb claudication. Initial finding was the absence of radial pulse in the right side. Color duplex scan revealed proximal subocclusion, which was confirmed by angiography. In one stage, balloon angioplasty was made, with immediate pain relief. After 15 months the patient was symptom-free. These two cases demonstrate an excellent outcome of endovascular treatment of innominate artery lesions, as authors already reported in two retrospective studies. Balloon angioplasty with, or without stent deployment appears to be a safe procedure with excellent primary success rate. Review of international studies also indicates that endovascular therapy of the innominate artery is safe and effective. Orv. Hetil., 2011, 152, 1745–1750.

Ligoniai ir metodai Atlikta retrospektyvi duomenų analizė dešimties ligonių, kuriems Vilniaus universiteto Širdies chirurgijos centre 1994–2006 metais aortos rekoarktacija buvo gydyta balionine angioplastika ar stentavimu. Aprašoma centre taikyta aortos angioplastikos ir stentų implantavimo metodika. Rezultatai Aortos rekoarktacijos angioplastika atlikta keturiems ligoniams. Intraaortinis gradientas aortos koarktacijos vietoje po procedūros sumažėjo vidutiniškai 82,15%. Vėlyvuoju stebėjimo periodu (vid. 6,14 ± 5,2 metai) rekoarktacija buvo trims ligoniams. Aortos rekoarktacijos stentavimas atliktas septyniems ligoniams, vienam iš jų dėl atsinaujinusios rekoarktacijos po angioplastikos. Dviem ligoniams procedūra nepavyko. Kitiems penkiems ligoniams intraaortinis gradientas reAoCo vietoje vidutiniškai sumažėjo nuo 29,6 ± 11,6 mm Hg iki 2,6 ± 3,7 mm Hg. Stebėjimo laikotarpiu 0,58–3,75 metų po procedūros rekoarktacija nustatyta tik vienam ligoniui. Jam atliktas stento plėtimas.

Patients and methods Ten patients with re-coarctation of the aorta after surgery underwent balloon angioplasty or stent implantation at Vilnius University Heart Surgery Centre in 1994–2006. Results Balloon angioplasty was performed in 4 patients. The intraaortic gradient in the site of coarctation decreased on average by 82.15% after the procedure. Re-coarctation developed in 3 patients in the late follow-up period (mean 6.14 ± 5.2 years). Stents were implanted in 7 patients (one developed re-coarctation after angioplasty). The procedure failed in two. The intraaortic gradient at the site of re-coarctation decreased on average from 29.6 ± 11.6 mm Hg to 2.6 ± 3.7 mm Hg. Re-coarctation was diagnosed only in one patient during the follow-up (0.58–3.75 years), and stent dilatation was performed in this case. Conclusions Balloon angioplasty and endovascular stents are effective and safe methods for the treatment of re-coarctation of the aorta.

Abstract Background One of the limitations of metallic stents including contemporary drug eluting stents lies in the permanent existence of metallic materials within the coronary arteries, which may lead to neoatherosclerosis and a long-term use of dual antiplatelet therapy. Some reports have recently suggested the efficacy and safety of non-stent strategy with drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty in combination with debulking devices for de novo lesions. However, little is known about the potential risk of restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with DCB. Purpose We sought to assess the predictive factors of restenosis by optical coherence tomography (OCT) after PCI with DCB instead of metallic stents. Methods We retrospectively investigated 49 de novo lesions in 38 patients treated by DCB without stent implantation in whom OCT was performed immediately after PCI and follow-up angiography was performed at median of 5.6 (3.7–6.9) months. OCT findings after PCI and the incidence of restenosis at follow-up angiography were evaluated. By means of OCT images, medial coronary dissection was defined as a dissection which reached the medial layer of the vessel, and major dissection was defined as a dissection with more than 60 degrees of the circumference of the vessel or more than 3mm in length. Restenosis was defined as more than 50% diameter stenosis evaluated by Quantitative Coronary Angiography. Results Restenosis was observed in 13 of 49 lesions (27%). In univariate logistic regression analysis, major dissection and medial dissection at the final OCT were associated with restenosis (Odds ratio [OR] 10.0; 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.5–52.6; p<0.01 and OR 5.8; 95% CI 1.5–25.1; p=0.01, respectively). Lesion preparation prior to DCB were performed with rotational atherectomy (n=9), orbital atherectomy (n=2), directional atherectomy (n=4), excimer laser angioplasty (n=17), scoring balloon angioplasty (n=13), or balloon angioplasty (n=4). OCT-defined major dissection remained a significant predictor for restenosis independent of debulking devices used for the preparation (OR 8.1; 95% CI 1.2–70.2; p=0.03). Conclusions Major dissection was associated with restenosis after non-stenting PCI with DCB. Stent implantation should be considered in cases of OCT-defined major dissection.
