Abstract Background Bioabsorbable polymer drug eluting stents (BP-DESs) were designed to reduce a vascular inflammatory reaction compared to durable polymer drug eluting stents (DP-DESs). However, few studies have compared vascular responses to BP-DESs and DP-DESs. Methods We enrolled 88 consecutive patients with single culprit coronary artery lesions (31 lesions with acute coronary syndrome) undergoing a single stent-implantation. BP-DESs and DP-DESs were implanted in 50 (57%) and 38 patients (43%), respectively. All lesions underwent optical coherence tomography examination at chronic phase and intrastent OCT findings at the follow-up were evaluated in every 1-mm cross-sections (CSs). Results A total of 1887 CSs (BP-DES: 1096, DP-DES: 791) were analyzed. The median period of follow-up OCT was 293 (250–374) days. There were no differences in the patient, lesion, and initial clinical presentation of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). BP-DESs had significantly higher percent neointimal hyperplasia area, defined as neointimal hyperplasia area divided by stent area x 100 (18.4±9.0% vs. 16.1±9.9%, p<0.001), fewer malapposed struts (1.7% vs. 3.9%, p=0.005), fewer uncovered struts (3.6% vs. 5.8%, p=0.02) but higher frequency of superficial low intensity neointima (LIN) (7.7% vs. 3.4%, p<0.001). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that BP-DES (OR: 2.5, 95% CI: 1.49–4.08, p<0.001) and the initial clinical presentation of ACS (OR: 2.31, 95% CI: 1.47–3.62, p<0.001) are independent predictive factors for LIN. Conclusion BP-DESs showed homogenous neointimal growth and complete stent coverage quantitatively. Meanwhile, the significant relationships of BP-DES with LIN may suggest that the neointimal quality remains immature in BP-DESs in this period. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

Abstract Background Optical coherence tomography showed a great ability to identify adverse features during percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stents and resulted in better clinical outcomes. The study aimed to assess the impact of optical coherence tomography on intraoperative decision-making during implantation of Absorb bioresorbable scaffolds versus everolimus drug-eluting stents. Results We performed an observational study that included 223 consecutive patients post optical coherence tomography-guided implantation of either Absorb bioresorbable scaffolds (162 patients) or everolimus drug-eluting stents (61 patients). We studied the influence of optical coherence tomography on intraoperative decision-making during implantation of bioresorbable scaffolds versus drug-eluting stents by analyzing the total rate of optical coherence tomography-dependent modifications in each device. After satisfactory angiographic results, the total rate of required intervention for optical coherence tomography detected complications was significantly higher in the bioresorbable scaffolds arm compared to drug-eluting stents arm (47.8% versus 32.9%, respectively; p = 0.019). The additional modifications encompassed further optimization in the case of device underexpansion or struts malapposition, and even stenting in the case of strut fractures, or significant edge dissection. Conclusions Compared to drug-eluting stents, Absord scaffold was associated with a significantly higher rate of optical coherence tomography-identified intraprocedural complications necessitating further modifications. The study provides some hints on the reasons of scaffolds failure in current PCI practice; it offers a new insight for the enhancement of BRS safety and presents and adds to the growing literature for successful BRS utilization.

Abstract Background The direct relationship between plaque rupture (PR) that cause acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and wall shear stress (WSS) remains uncertain. Methods From the Kobe University ACS-OCT registry, one hundred ACS patients whose culprit lesions had PR documented by optical coherence tomography (OCT) were enrolled. Lesion-specific 3D coronary artery models were created using OCT data. Specifically, at the ruptured portion, the tracing of the luminal edge of the residual fibrous cap was smoothly extrapolated to reconstruct the luminal contour before PR. Then, WSS was computed from computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis by a single core laboratory. Relationships between WSS and the location of PR were assessed with 1) longitudinal 3-mm segmental analysis and 2) circumferential analysis. In the longitudinal segmental analysis, each culprit lesion was subdivided into five 3-mm segments with respect to the minimum lumen area (MLA) location at the centered segment (Figure. 1). In the circumferential analysis, we measured WSS values at five points from PR site and non-PR site on the cross-sections with PR. Also, each ruptured plaque was categorized into the lateral type PR (L-PR), central type PR (C-PR), and others according to the relation between the site of tearing and the cavity (Figure. 2). Results In the longitudinal 3-mm segmental analysis, the incidences of PR at upstream (UP1 and 2), MLA, and downstream (DN1 and 2) were 45%, 40%, and 15%, respectively. The highest average WSS was located in UP1 in the upstream PR (UP1: 15.5 (10.4–26.3) vs. others: 6.8 (3.3–14.7) Pa, p<0.001) and MLA segment in the MLA PR (MLA: 18.8 (6.0–34.3) vs. others: 6.5 (3.1–11.8) Pa, p<0.001), and the second highest WSS was located at DN1 in the downstream PR (DN1: 5.8 (3.7–11.5) vs. others: 5.5 (3.7–16.5) Pa, p=0.035). In the circumferential analysis, the average WSS at PR site was significantly higher than that of non-PR site (18.7 (7.2–35.1) vs. 13.9 (5.2–30.3) Pa, p<0.001). The incidence of L-PR, C-PR, and others were 51%, 42%, and 7%, respectively. In the L-PR, the peak WSS was most frequently observed in the lateral site (66.7%), whereas that in the C-PR was most frequently observed in the center site (70%) (Figure. 3). In the L-PR, the peak WSS value was significantly lower (44.6 (19.6–65.2) vs. 84.7 (36.6–177.5) Pa, p<0.001), and the thickness of broken fibrous cap was significantly thinner (40 (30–50) vs. 80 (67.5–100) μm, p<0.001), and the lumen area at peak WSS site was significantly larger than those of C-PR (1.5 (1.3–2.0) vs. 1.4 (1.1–1.6) mm2, p=0.008). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that the presence of peak WSS at lateral site, thinner broken fibrous cap thickness, and larger lumen area at peak WSS site were independently associated with the development of the L-PR. Conclusions A combined approach with CFD simulation and morphological plaque evaluation by using OCT might be helpful to predict future ACS events induced by PR.
