Abstract Background In-stent restenosis (ISR) represents the more frequent modality of stent failure. The currently recommended treatment strategies are represented by repeat drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation or drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty. Optical coherence tomography can display important information regarding mechanisms of stent failure as well as neointimal characterization. Purpose Aim of the present study was to determine the impact of treatment modality (DES vs. DCB) as well as neointimal characteristics (homogeneous vs. non-homogeneous) as determined by intravascular OCT, on clinical outcomes and explore whether there is an interaction between neointimal pattern of ISR and treatment modality. Methods Patients presenting with ischemic symptoms and/or evidence of myocardial ischemia in three European centers and undergoing intravascular OCT prior to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for ISR, were retrospectively included in this study. Characterization of neointimal tissue was performed at the frame displaying the maximal %AS as well as the 5 preceding and following analyzed frames. Each frame was subdivided in 4 quadrants (90°) and the neointimal characteristics separately characterized for each of them. Based on its optical characteristics, neointimal tissue was categorized as homogeneous, heterogeneous, layered or neoatherosclerosis. Based on the dominant neointimal type, the study population was divided in two groups, (predominantly homogeneous and non-homogeneous). Primary endpoints of the study were represented by major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and its idividual components (death, cardiac death, myocardial infarction and target lesion revascularization (TLR)) at 2 years follow-up. Results A total of 197 patients undergoing OCT prior to PCI for ISR were included in this study. 100 patients were classified as having predominantly homogeneous and 97 as having predominantly non-homogeneous neointima. No association was found between predominant OCT pattern (homogenous vs. non-homogenous) and MACE at 2 years follow-up (HR=1.01, 95% CI: 0.59–1.75; p=0.94), or the individual MACE components. Analogously, no significant differences in terms of MACE at 2 years were found between predominantly homogeneous vs. non-homogeneous neointima in the patient subgroup receiving a DES (p=0.10) and in that undergoing DCB treatment (p=0.11). However, a significant interaction was found between neointimal tissue pattern and treatment modality in terms of MACE (p=0.02) aa well as death or MI (p=0.016). Predominantly non-homogeneous neointima in patients treated with DCB was associated with a higher incidence of MACE. Conclusions Our results indicate that there is a significant interaction between treatment modality of ISR (DES vs. DCB) and neointimal pattern as determined by intravascular OCT. These results land initial support to an OCT-guided treatment of ISR and should be confirmed by larger trials. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

Introduction: Clinical introduction of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug eluting stent has substantially decreased the rate of in-stent restenosis (ISR). However, it is reported that patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) still have higher incidence of restenosis and secondary cardiovascular events than patients without DM. Using intravascular optical coherence tomography (OCT), we evaluated the effect of DM on healing process of coronary artery after everolimus eluting stents (EES) implantation in the comparison with non-DM patients. Methods and Results: We studied 26 DM patients (65.1±11.9y/o) and 59 non-DM patients (68.1±9.4y/o) who received OCT-guided EES implantation. The second OCT examination was performed on 296±71.1 days after implantation (291±74.2days vs. 298±70.3days, p=0.51). OCT cross-sectional images of the second study were examined to determine the condition of neointimal coverage over every strut in 1mm interval (DM; 725 cross-sections and 5742 struts, non-DM; 1482 cross-sections and 12098 struts). In addition, neointimal thickness (NIT) over each strut measured and tissue characteristics were examined. One in-stent restenosis with clinical manifestation was observed in each group. Average NIT was significantly thicker in DM group than in non-DM group (107±99.2μm vs. 92±74.6μm, p<0.01). The incidence of malapposed struts without neointimal coverage were very low and similar in both groups (0.22±0.54 vs. 0.13±0.72%, p=0.43). The frequency of OCT-defined unstable neointimal characteristics was significantly higher rate in DM than non-DM group (14.5±18.9% vs. 6.67±14.5%, p=0.03). Conclusions: EES implanted in DM patients showed acceptable neointimal proliferation and uncovered stent struts similar to non-DM patients, suggesting the mid-term efficacy and safety of EES in DM patients. However, long-term follow-up should be necessary because of the high incidence of unstable neointimal characteristics which might be a substrate for the future development of neoatherosclerosis.

Background: The natural history and the role of the atherosclerotic plaque located behind the stent (PBS) are still poorly understood. We evaluated the serial changes in PBS following bare-metal (BMS) compared with first-generation drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation and the impact of these changes on in-stent neointimal hyperplasia (NIH). Methods: 3D coronary reconstruction by angiography and intravascular ultrasound were serially performed after intervention and at 6- to 10-month follow-up in 157 Japanese patients treated with BMS (n=90) and DES (n=98; 68 sirolimus-eluting and 30 paclitaxel-eluting stents) included in the PREDICTION Study. Each reconstructed stented coronary artery was divided into consecutive 1.5-mm segments. External elastic lamina, lumen, stent, and PBS area were measured for each segment at both baseline and follow-up. At follow-up NIH area was assessed. Due to the very low rate of events in our population we used significant NIH (defined as NIH area >50% of stent area) as a binary anatomic outcome. Results: Patient, lesion, and stent characteristics were comparable between BMS and DES. There was a significant decrease in PBS area after BMS (median relative change: -7.2%, IQR -19.3 to 5.2%, p<0.001) and a significant increase after DES implantation (median relative change: 6.1%, IQR -5.7 to 20.5%, p<0.001). The decrease in PBS area significantly predicted NIH area at follow-up after controlling for baseline lumen area and baseline PBS area in both BMS (β 0.15, 95% CI 0.1 to 0.2, p<0.001) and DES (β 0.09, 95% CI 0.07 to 0.11, p<0.001). The decrease in PBS area was the most powerful predictor of significant NIH in both BMS (OR 1.13, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.26, p=0.017) and DES (OR 1.65, 95% CI 1.16 to 2.36, p=0.005). Conclusions: The PBS significantly decreased 6 to 10 months after BMS implantation, whereas after DES it increased. The decrease in PBS area was significantly associated with the development of NIH at follow-up in both stent types. These findings raise the possibility of a communication between the lesion within the stent and the underlying native atherosclerotic plaque, and may have important implications regarding the pathobiology of in-stent restenosis.
