The data with respect to stable coronary artery disease (SCAD) are mainly confined to main vessel disease. However, there is a lack of information and long-term outcomes regarding isolated side branch disease. This study aimed to evaluate long-term major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) in patients with isolated side branch coronary artery disease (CAD). A total of 437 patients with isolated side branch SCAD were included. After a median follow-up of 38 months, the overall MACCE and all-cause mortality rates were 14.6% and 5.9%, respectively. Among angiographic features, 68.2% of patients had diagonal artery and 82.2% had ostial lesions. In 28.8% of patients, the vessel diameter was ≥2.75 mm. According to the American College of Cardiology lesion classification, 84.2% of patients had either class B or C lesions. Age, ostial lesions, glycated hemoglobin A1c, and neutrophil levels were independent predictors of MACCE. On the other hand, side branch location, vessel diameter, and lesion complexity did not affect outcomes. Clinical risk factors seem to have a greater impact on MACCE rather than lesion morphology. Therefore, the treatment of clinical risk factors is of paramount importance in these patients.

Stent Placement

We performed stent placement under intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), without the use of contrast medium, in a male patient in his 70s who had vertebral artery origin stenosis and decreased renal function. Satisfactory dilatation was achieved without complications, and the patient remained asymptomatic at 2 years of follow-up. We now report the details of this procedure. Stent placement under IVUS guidance may be useful in patients in whom contrast medium is contraindicated.

Placement Technique

OBJECTIVE Large vertebrobasilar fusiform aneurysms (VFAs) represent a small subset of intracranial aneurysms and are often among the most difficult to treat. Current surgical and endovascular techniques fail to achieve a complete or acceptable result because of complications, including late-onset basilar artery thrombosis and perforator infarction. The parallel-stent placement technique was established in the authors' department, and this study reports the application of this technique in the treatment of unruptured VFAs. METHODS Eight patients with 8 unruptured VFAs who underwent parallel stent placement between April 2011 and August 2012 were included. The diameters of the VFAs ranged from 7.9 to 14.0 mm, and the lengths from 27.5 to 54.4 mm. Of the 8 patients with unruptured VFAs, 3 received double or triple parallel stents and 5 patients received a series-connected stent with another 1 or 2 stents deployed parallel to them. Outcomes for these patients were tabulated, based on the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score and angiographic results. RESULTS All of the 25 stents were successfully placed without any treatment-related complications. During follow-up, 5 patients had decreased mRS scores, 2 were unchanged, and 1 was increased for subarachnoid hemorrhage. Immediate and follow-up clinical outcome was completely or partially recovered in most patients. Follow-up angiograms revealed 2 aneurysms were reduced in size and 6 were unchanged after stent placement. No in-stent stenosis, occlusion of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery, or perforators jailed by the stent occurred in any of the aneurysms. CONCLUSIONS These results provide encouraging support for the parallel-stent placement technique, which can be envisaged as an alternative strategy against unruptured VFAs. However, testing in more patients is needed.

Background : Symptomatic vertebral artery stenosis (VAS) has a five-year stroke risk of 30%–35%. Mortality associated with posterior circulation (PC) strokes is high, ranging from 20%–30%. Surgical revascularization is rarely performed due to high morbidity and mortality. Endovascular revascularization with stents offers a potential treatment option for these patients. Methods : One hundred nine patients (116 arteries, 70% male) underwent stent placement for extracranial (91%) and intracranial (9%) VAS from 1995–2006. Symptoms included vertigo (63%), visual changes (31%), syncope (11%), ataxia (7%), and drop attack (5%). Four patients had asymptomatic critical stenosis. Sixty-one patients (56%) had bilateral VAS, 74 patients (69%) had concomitant carotid disease, and 43 patients (39%) had a prior stroke. Procedural success was defined as residual stenosis of ≤ 20% without peri-procedural stroke or death. Clinical success was defined as procedural success with symptom resolution. Restenosis was defined as angiographic narrowing within the stent of ≥ 70% or > 50% with recurrent symptoms, or evidence of severe stenosis on non-invasive imaging (ultrasound, CT, or MR). Results : Procedural and clinical success was achieved in 108 (99.1%) and 95 (94.3%) patients, respectively. At one year, follow-up was obtained in 91 patients (83.5%), 6 patients (5.5%) had died, 5 patients (5.3%) experienced a PC stroke, and 47 patients (43.1%) underwent repeat angiography and/or non-invasive imaging. Eighty-seven of the 91 patients were initially symptomatic, 69 (79.3%) of which were symptom-free at one year. Three of those that had recurrent symptoms never achieved clinical success, 9 had developed restenosis, and 7 underwent successful re-intervention. At median follow-up of 31 months (lower and upper quartiles of 13.0 and 51.8 months), 72.5% were alive and 71.6% remained symptom-free. Conclusion : Our data demonstrates that stenting for VAS can be successfully performed in 99% of patients without peri-procedural stroke or death and is associated with durable symptom resolution in approximately 80% of patients at one year. In these high-risk patients, endovascular therapy for symptomatic VAS appears to be safe and effective at relieving symptoms.

Abstract Purpose To compare the effects of paclitaxal-coated balloon (PCB) versus conventional balloon (CB) on side branch (SB) lesion and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with de novo true bifurcation lesions. Methods In total, 219 patients with de novo true bifurcation lesions were enrolled and divided into PCB group (102 cases) and CB group (117 cases) according to angioplasty strategy in SB. Drug-eluting stent (DES) was implanted in main vessel (MV) for each subject. All subjects underwent a 12-month follow-up for late lumen loss (LLL), restenosis and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). MACEs included cardiac death, nonfatal myocardial infarction and angina pectoris. Results There were no differences in diameter, minimum lumen diameter (MLD) and stenosis for bifurcation lesions between the two groups before and immediately after PCI (P > 0.05). After 12-month follow-up, no differences occurred in MV-MLD and MV-LLL between the two groups (P > 0.05); SB-MLD in PCB group was higher than that in CB group (1.97 ± 0.36 mm vs. 1.80 ± 0.43 mm, P = 0.007); SB-LLL in PCB group was lower than that in CB group (0.11 ± 0.18 mm vs. 0.19 ± 0.25 mm, P = 0.024). Multivariate COX analyses indicated that PCB group had lower MACE risk than CB group (HR = 0.480, 95%CI 0.244–0.941, P = 0.033). Conclusion PCB could decrease SB-LLL and MACE risk in patients with de novo true coronary bifurcation lesion 12 months after single-DES intervention.

Abstract 【Background】 There is limited evidence demonstrating the usefulness of endoscopic retrograde pancreatic drainage (ERPD) for symptomatic pancreaticojejunal anastomotic stenosis (sPJS). We examined the usefulness of ERPD for sPJS. 【Methods】 We conducted a retrospective analysis of 10 benign sPJS patients. Following items were evaluated: technical success, adverse events and clinical outcome of ERPD. 【Results】 Technical success rate was 100% (10/10); 9 patients had a pancreatic stent (no-internal-flap: n=4, internal-flap: n=5). Median follow-up was 920 days. Four patients developed recurrence. Among them, 3 patients had a stent with no-internal-flap in initial ERPD and the stent migrated in 3 patients at recurrence, and a stent was not placed in 1 patient in initial ERPD. Four follow-up ERPD were performed. No recurrence was observed in 6 patients. Among them, none of the stents migrated (no-internal-flap: n=1, internal-flap: n=5), and none were replaced stents due to stent failure. A stent placement with no-internal-flap was associated with recurrence (p=0.042). Mild adverse events developed in 14.3% (2/14). 【Conclusions】 ERPD was performed safely with high technical success. Recurrence was common in a stent placement with no-internal-flap, which was associated with stent migration. Long-term stent placement didn’t result in stent failure.
