Evidence from clinical data suggests that the stenotic side branch (SB) is one of the key predictors for SB occlusion-based adverse events. In this study, we hypothesized that coronary bifurcations with stenotic SB might lead to severe concentration polarization of atherogenic lipids, such as the low-density lipoproteins (LDL), motivating the adverse events in the clinic. To confirm this hypothesis, this work numerically investigated the transport of LDL in different bifurcation lesions based on the Medina classification with various location and stenosis severities. The results showed that the coronary bifurcations with stenotic SB might be suffering more serious concentration polarization of LDL on the luminal surface of the SB due to higher level of LDL concentrations. Moreover, compared to the other bifurcation lesion types, the type (1,0,1) had the highest luminal surface LDL concentration along the SB and the highest degree of risk to enhance the process of atherosclerosis. In addition, this study also showed that the luminal surface LDL concentration increased with elevated stenosis severity. The type (1,0,1) with the severe stenosis (75% diameter reduction) had the highest concentration at the SB. In conclusion, these results suggested that both location of lesions and stenosis severities had great influence on the distribution of LDL on the luminal surface of the SB. Therefore, the estimation of disease severity and the interventional therapy should be carried out not only according to the stenosis severities in clinic. Moreover, compared to the other bifurcation lesion types, the type (1,0,1), rather than the type (1,1,1) as usually considered, had the highest luminal surface LDL concentration along the SB and the highest degree of risk to enhance the process of atherosclerosis.

Background: Intervention for bifurcation lesions is associated with increased risk of adverse events and includes acute side branch (SB) occlusion during main branch (MB) stenting. This acute occlusion of side branch can often be catastrophic for the patient. We here in describe our experience in National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases and Hospital (NICVD), Dhaka, Bangladesh with a technique which can be incorporated into bifurcation stenting to reduce or almost eliminate the incidence of side branch occlusion or catastrophe. Methods: A prospective, observational, non-blinded study in patients from a single tertiary referral cardiac center National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases & Hospital (NICVD), Dhaka, Bangladesh. Patients with an indication for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of a denovo bifurcation lesion were screened. The study included 51 patients who underwent coronary angiogram in our institution and had bifurcation lesions suitable for single stent strategy between March 2017 to September 2018. Results: 51 patients with bifurcation lesion were included in the study and underwent a balloon embedded bifurcation stenting with a semi inflated balloon placed across the SB ostium. Angiographic success was achieved in all the patients but procedural success was achieved in 88.2% of the patients. TIMI 3 flow of main branch (MB) was achieved 96.08% and side branch (SB) was achieved 88.2%. Incidence of dissection was 5.9%, acute occlusion of SB was 2.0% and MACE was 3.9%. Mean fluoroscopy time and contrast volume was similar to that of conventional bifurcation stenting. The jailed SB balloon and wire could be successfully removed in all patients. Conclusion: The present study suggests that balloon embedded bifurcation stenting with a semi inflated balloon to protect the SB is feasible, with minimal procedural adverse events and successful in minimizing or almost eliminating the incidence of acute side branch occlusion or dissection as well as MACE.

Aims. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of stentless strategy by drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty following directional coronary atherectomy (DCA) for left main (LM) bifurcation lesions. Methods. A total of 38 patients who underwent DCB angioplasty following DCA for LM bifurcation lesions were retrospectively enrolled. The primary endpoint was target vessel failure (TVF) at 12 months. Secondary endpoints included procedure-related major events during the hospitalization, major adverse cardiac events at 12 months, ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization (TLR) at 12 months, and bleeding complications defined as the Bleeding Academic Research Consortium criteria ≥2 at 12 months. Results. Among these 38 lesions, 31 lesions were de novo LM bifurcation lesions and 7 lesions were stent edge restenosis at the left anterior descending (LAD) ostium. The mean % plaque area (%PA) after DCA was 44.0 ± 7.4%. TVF at 12 months occurred in 1 lesion (3.2%) of de novo LM bifurcation lesion and in 3 lesions (42.9%) of stent edge restenosis at the LAD ostium. All events of TVF were ischemia-driven TLR by percutaneous coronary intervention. Among 4 TLR cases, %PA after DCA was high (55.9%) in the de novo LM bifurcation lesions; on the other hand, %PA after DCA was low (42.4%, 38.7%, and 25.7% in the 3 cases) in stent edge restenosis at the LAD ostium. No procedure-related major events were observed during hospitalization. There was no cardiac death, no myocardial infarction, no coronary artery bypass grafting, and no bleeding complications at 12 months. Conclusions. Stentless strategy by DCB angioplasty following DCA for de novo LM bifurcation lesions resulted in acceptable outcomes. On the other hand, its efficacy was limited for stent edge restenosis at the LAD ostium even after aggressive debulking by DCA.

Abstract Purpose To analyze the feasibility and efficacy of the jailed pressure wire technique for bifurcation lesions treated by provisional stenting strategy and to assess the physiological side branch (SB) result using instantaneous wave free ratio (iFR). Methods Between June 2017 and December 2018, 50 patients who presented a bifurcation lesion considered appropriate for provisional stenting strategy were included in the study. Pressure wire was passed to side branch before treatment. Main vessel (MV) and side branch (SB) was predilated at the operator criteria. iFR determination was obtained in the SB baseline and after MV stenting (leaving the pressure wire jailed). Afterwards, the wire was removed to MV ostium to discard the possibility of drift. SB postdilation was performed if SB iFR was less than 0,89 (according to vessel thresholds established in clinical trials), evaluating the result by a new iFR determination. Results The mean age was 64±10 years. Sixteen patients (32%) had diabetes. Clinical presentation was stable angina in 26 patients (52%), non-STEMI in 19 patients (38%) and STEMI (non culprit lesion) in 5 patients (10%). The most frequent bifurcation type according to Medina classifications was 1,1,0 (21 patients, 42%). Seventeen patients (34%) had a true bifurcation lesion. The MV and SB reference diameter was 3,0±0,5 mm and 2,25±0,5 mm respectively. Most of the bifurcations were located at the left anterior descending artery/diagonal branch (27 bifurcations, 54%). Ten patients (20%) presented a distal left main bifurcation. Baseline SB iFR was 0,78±0,2. Under continuous SB iFR monitoring MV stenting was performed by trapping the pressure wire. After MV stenting, the SB iFR changed to 0,90±0,1. We confirmed the presence of drift in 5 patients (10%). In these cases, recalibration of the wire and SB rewiring was performed in 4 cases. In the remaining patient, rewiring was not possible even using specific coronary wires. According to SB IFR, postdilation was necessary in 14 patients (28%). Final SB iFR was 0,94±0,03. A second stent was not necessary in any patient because final SB iFR was higher than 0.89 in all cases. We observed discordance between angiographic and physiological result in 17 cases (34%). All the wires could be removed. Forty wires (80%) were microscopically analyzed. Some grade of microscopic damage was found in 32 wires (80%), all of them distal to the pressure sensor. However, only one of these wires (2%) presented severe damage, and no case of fracture was observed. After a mean follow up time of 10±6 months only one patient (2%) presented a major cardiac adverse event (acute coronary syndrome due to voluntary cessation of dual antiplatelet therapy). Conclusions The use of jailed pressure wire to monitor SB results for bifurcations treated by provisional stenting seems to be safe. The iFR index seems to provide new physiological information about the significance of the SB stenosis.

Neointimal Coverage

Background: Stent implantation for coronary bifurcation is intrinsically accompanied with inappropriate strut apposition around side branch (SB), which has potential risk for future development of stent thrombosis. Previous experimental studies indicated that side branch angle (SBA) influences the local flow turbulence and wall shear stress. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between SBA and the neointimal coverage of drug-eluting stent (DES) which were implanted in coronary bifurcation lesions. Methods: Forty-seven bifurcation lesions treated with DES were evaluated with FD-OCT in 39 patients (mean age; 65.7±13.9 y.o) at follow-up angiography. Each lesions were divided into the bifurcation lesions without kissing balloon technique (KBT) after stent implantation (non-KBT group; 28 lesions) and those with KBT (KBT group; 19 lesions). Neointimal coverage was assessed based on cross-sectional OCT images containing SB at 0.4mm interval, and separately evaluated in terms of jailing struts over the SB ostium (SO) and non-jailing struts attaching to the vessel wall (VW). BA was measured on the longitudinal reconstruction images of FD-OCT before stent implantation. Incidence of uncovered struts and neointimal thickness were measured. Results: In non-KBT group, the percentage of uncovered struts was significantly higher in lesions with SBA≦60°compared with those with SBA>60°at both SO and VW region (56.9±39.8% vs. 25.6±26.8%, p<0.05; 10.6±7.6% vs. 3.3±4.4%, p<0.01, respectively) and significant negative correlation was found between SBA and the percentage uncovered struts at both SO and VW regions (r=–0.55, p<0.01; r=–0.47, p<0.05, respectively). In KBT group, the percentage of uncovered struts was not significant difference between lesions with SBA≦60°and those with SBA>60°at both SO and VW region (36.7±35.3% vs. 36.6±34.8%; 10.9±10.4% vs. 8.6±12.7%, respectively) and no correlation was found between SBA and the percentage of uncovered struts at both SO and VW region. Conclusions: The neointimal coverage of DES was affected by in bifurcation lesion without KBT, but is not affected in bifurcation lesion with KBT. KBT has potential benefit for neointimal coverage of DES at coronary bifurcation lesion with narrow SBA.
