Abstract Background New generation drug eluting stents (DES) have improved target vessel failure as compared with early generation DES and bare metal stent. Contemporary several new generation DES are different each other regarding strut thickness and drug and polymer type. A little is known about which stent induces a more favorable vascular healing at follow up. Purpose In this study, we compared the vascular healing at 8-month follow up by optical coherence tomography (OCT) between 4 different kinds of new generation DES. Methods We enrolled 112 consecutive patients (121 lesions) who underwent PCI using 4 kinds of new generation DES including biodegradable-polymer everolimus-eluting stents (BP-EES), biodegradable-polymer sirolimus-eluting stents (BP-SES), durable-polymer everolimus-eluting stents (DP-EES) and durable-polymer zotarolimus-eluting stents (DP-ZES) and who underwent 8-month follow up angiogram and OCT between July 2016 and April 2018. We compared the OCT parameters including percentage of covered struts, uncovered struts, well-apposed and uncovered struts, malapposed strut and mean neointimal hyperplasia (NIH) thickness between them. Results BP-EES consisted of 29 lesions, BP-SES consisted of 25 lesions, DP-EES consisted of 38 lesions and DP-ZES consisted of 29 lesions. A total of 734 frames with 5163 struts in BP-EES, 481 frames with 4214 struts in BP-SES, 783 frames with 6119 struts in DP-EES and 583 frames with 4708 struts in DP-ZES were analyzed. As shown in a table, mean NIH thickness was significantly higher in BP-EES and BP-SES. Thus, we compared the OCT parameters between durable-polymer (DP) group including DP-ZES and DP-EES and biodegradable-polymer (BP) group including BP-EES and BP-SES. The percentage of uncovered struts was significantly lower and mean NIH thickness was significantly higher in BP group than DP group. Results of OCT parameters BP-EES (n=29) BP-SES (n=25) DP-EES (n=38) DP-ZES (n=29) P value BP group (n=54) DP group (n=67) P value Covered struts (%) 89.5±13.6 92.4±8.6 85.5±17.5 85.0±17.7 0.29 90.9±11.6 85.3±17.4 0.08 Uncovered struts (%) 8.8±10.8 7.1±8.7 14.5±17.5 15.0±17.7 0.14 8.0±9.9 14.7±17.4 0.03 Well-apposed and uncovered struts (%) 7.9±9.9 5.9±7.7 11.7±13.1 12.3±14.0 0.15 7.0±8.9 11.9±13.4 0.04 Malapposed struts (%) 0.8±1.6 1.3±2.2 2.7±5.8 2.7±4.7 0.33 1.0±1.9 2.7±5.3 0.07 Mean NIH thickness (μm) 102±57 121±48 78±28 88±33 <0.01 111±53 82±31 <0.01 Conclusion The present OCT study demonstrated that delayed neointimal healing characterized by the presence of uncovered struts and lower mean NIH thickness was less common in BP group than DP gruop. Biodegradable-polymer may be more favorable than durable-polymer from the point of view of vascular healing.

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&lt;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&lt;0.001). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that BP-DES (OR: 2.5, 95% CI: 1.49–4.08, p&lt;0.001) and the initial clinical presentation of ACS (OR: 2.31, 95% CI: 1.47–3.62, p&lt;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 Several studies using optical coherence tomography (OCT) have shown that the prevalence of irregular protrusion was associated with the incidence of adverse cardiac events. However, the correlation between cardiac events and protrusion area is not well investigated. Method One hundred twenty-nine consecutive patients with 138 clesions with 2nd and 3rd generation drug-eluting stents (DES) which had pre-stenting and post-stenting OCT imaging between April 2016 and April 2018 were evaluated. We compared baseline characteristics, procedure findings and OCT findings including minimum stent area, protrusion type and maximum protrusion area between target lesion revascularization (TLR) group and non-TLR group. Results TLR occurred in 12 (9.3%) in 129 patients. The baseline characteristics and procedure findings were similar between TLR group and non-TLR group. Univariate analysis revealed that maximum irregular protrusion area was significantly larger (0.51 [0.00–0.63] vs 0.00 [0.00–0.27], p=0.036) in TLR group than non-TLR group. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed that the suitable cutoff value of maximum irregular protrusion area were 0.43mm2 for TLR. In multivariate analysis using the parameters with p value<0.10 determined by univariate analysis, maximum irregular protrusion (≥0.43mm2) and minimum stent area (MSA) were independently correlated with TLR (table). Odd's ratio (95% CI) P value Major irregular protrusion (≥0.43mm2) 17.3 (3.63–82.6) <0.001 MSA 2.13 (1.15–3.93) 0.002 Conclusion Major irregular protrusion (>0.43mm2) in post-stenting OCT findings may be a powerful predictor of TLR in the patients with new generation DES.

Abstract Background Previous studies have demonstrated that the presence of late-acquired stent malapposition after stent implantation may be a risk of late and very late stent thrombosis and myocardial infarction, which is however still controversial. Purpose We sought to investigate the incidence and prognosis of late acquired stent malapposion after second-generation drug eluting stents (2G-DES) implantation. Methods A total of 199 lesions in 139 patients who underwent optical coherence tomography (OCT) at both immediately after implantation (Baseline) and 6–12 months after 2G-DES implantation (follow-up) were investigated. We excluded lesions with stent failure before follow-up examination. We evaluated presence or absence of malapposed strut at 1mm interval of OCT images and stents with one or more cross-sections with >30% malapposed strut was defined as stents with malapposition (MP), otherwise well-apposed (WA). We divided the lesions into 4 groups according to the presence of malapposition at baseline and follow-up; WA and WA, persistent well-apposed; MP and WA, resoloved malapposition; WA and MP, late acquired malapposition (LAMP); and MP and MP, persistent malapposition. We compared the target lesion failure (TLF) rate after follow-up examination among 4 groups with Kaplan–Meier analysis. Results Median follow-up period was 469 (IQR 71–1416) days. follow-up OCT examination was performed at median 9 months (IQR 7.6–10.5). There were no significant differences in patient's and procedural characteristics among the 4 groups. TLF rate in LAMP group was 12.0% and Kaplan–Meier analysis showed no significant differences among the 4 groups in TLF rate. TLF-free suvival curves (Kaplan-Meier) Conclusion LAMP was observed by OCT at 6–12 months in 12.0% of lesions after 2G-DES implantation, which was not associated with TLF at 5 years.
