SummaryThe D allele of the insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism of the angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) gene is associated with higher plasma and tissue ACE levels, which enhance the stimulus for neo-intimal hyperplasia. Plaque debulking before stenting reduces the plaque-related determinants of in-stent restenosis and provides an ideal clinical model for studying neointimal hyperplasia. We prospectively studied 113 consecutive patients undergoing elective DCA followed by stent implantation. The presence of I/D in ACE genome DNA was analysed by means of polymerase chain reaction. Follow-up coronary angiography was performed 6-12 months after DCA, and all of the angiograms were quantitatively analysed. The baseline clinical and angiographic characteristics of the patients with a D/D (33%), I/D (52%) and I/I (15%) genotype were well balanced. There were no significant differences in minimal lumen diameter before and after the procedure or at follow-up, and no significant differences in acute gain, late loss or the loss index. Our results indicate that ACE I/D polymorphism does not influence the risk of developing angiographic restenosis in patients undergoing DCA followed by stent implantation.

Background and objective: Percutaneous coronary intervention, despite being effective for coronary revascularization, causes in-stent restenosis due to neointimal hyperplasia in a large number of patients. The renin-angiotensin system is involved in neointimal hyperplasia. This study sought to evaluate seven gene polymorphisms of key renin-angiotensin system components, including angiotensinogen, angiotensin-converting enzyme and angiotensin II type 1a receptors, and their associations with in-stent restenosis in patients with coronary artery disease following coronary stenting. Methods and results: Three hundred and fifty-two patients undergoing coronary drug-eluting stent implantation were recruited. Seventy-five patients (21.3%) were diagnosed as restenosis by angiography. Genotyping for angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion demonstrated a significant association of angiotensin-converting enzyme DD genotype with the occurrence of restenosis. Direct DNA sequencing revealed no association of angiotensinogen (M235T, G217A, G152A, G-6A, and A-20C) or angiotensin II type I receptor A1166C polymorphisms with in-stent restenosis. However, angiotensin II type 1a A1166C polymorphism was significantly associated with increased susceptibility to restenosis in a subgroup of patients aged more than 60 years. Conclusion: Thus, our study suggests that genetic polymorphisms of angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion are associated with in-stent restenosis in coronary artery disease patients following coronary stenting.

Abstract Background: Previous studies revealed controversial results regarding the prevention of in-stent restenosis after coronary bare-metal stents (BMS) placement with systemic administration of immunosuppressive drugs. We therefore conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the role played by immunosuppressive therapy (IST) in reducing both in-stent restenosis and adverse clinical events after BMS implantation. Methods: We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases for randomized, controlled studies that investigated the therapeutic effects of IST after BMS insertions. Endpoints assessed were: (1) angiographic restenosis by the end of at least 6 months of follow-up; (2) target vessel revascularization (TVR); and (3) risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). MACE was defined as death, myocardial infarction and TVR. Results: Nine randomized, controlled trials including 1576 patients (mean age 62 years; follow-up of 6-12 months) were included in this analysis. Meta-analysis showed periprocedural IST + BMS significantly reduced in-stent restenosis as compared to BMS alone (RR: 0.59 [0.39-0.90], P = 0.01). In particular, IST reduced restenosis in high-risk patients (defined as patients with mean reference diameter < 3.0 mm or high periprocedural C-reactive protein level) (RR: 0.34 [0.15,0.74], P = 0.006) rather than in low-risk patients ( P for interaction = 0.06). Similarly, IST also reduced the risk of MACE (RR: 0.63 [0.50-0.80], P < 0.01) and TVR (RR: 0.57 [0.33-0.97], P = 0.04). Conclusions: Periprocedural IST reduces the risk of angiographic restenosis, TVR and MACE in patients with BMS implantation. The advantage of IST is driven mainly by a lower risk of in-stent restenosis in high-risk patients. Key words: immunosuppressive therapy, restenosis, bare-metal stents , meta-analysis

Background: The value of drug-eluting stents in patients (P) with in-stent restenosis (ISR) has been established. However, the long-term results of this strategy in P with ISR remains unknown. Objective: We sought to determine the long-term clinical outcome of P treated with sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) for ISR. Methods: A systematic, pre-specified, long-term clinical follow-up (FU) was performed in all P included in the RIBS II (Restenosis Intra-stent: Balloon angioplasty [BA] vs elective SES implantation) randomized trial. In RIBS II 150 P with ISR after bare-metal stent implantation were included: 74 allocated to BA and 76 to SES. Late angiography was obtained in 96% of eligible P. A structured clinical questionnaire (cardiac/non cardiac death, myocardial infarction [MI], target vessel revascularization [TVR], thrombosis [TH], and medical therapy) was used during FU. Results: Angiographic restenosis (primary end-point) was more frequently found in the BA arm (39% vs 11%, p<0.001). Clinical FU at 1-year was obtained in 150 P (100%). During this time period 6 P died (3 SES, 3 BA), 4 P suffered a MI (2 SES, 2 BA), 2 P experienced TH (1 P in each arm) and 30 required TVR (8 SES, 22 BA, p<0.01). A complete clinical FU >3 years was obtained in 145 P (97%) (mean 38±9 months, median 40 months [IQR 37–42]). Late events (after 1 year, non-exclusive) included: 3 deaths (1 SES, 2 BA), 3 MI (3 SES, 2 due to late TH) and 7 late TVR (5 SES, 2 BA). At 4 years, event-free survival was 76% in the SES arm and 65% in the BA arm (p=0.03). Survival free from TVR at 4 years was 80% in the SES arm and 67% in the BA arm (p=0.02). Conclusion: In P with ISR SES implantation improve the long-term clinical outcome as compared with BA treatment.

Introduction: The effect of oversized intracranial stent implantation, and the potential for excessive neointimal hyperplasia from the resulting chronic outward radial force, has not been previously reported. We sought to compare the angiographic narrowing associated with implantation of oversized Neuroform stents overlapping vessels of different diameters. Methods: We reviewed an aneurysm database and identified patients treated with stent-assisted coil embolization involving stent placement overlapping a vessel size transition. Patient demographics and lesion characteristics were extracted from chart review. A submillimeter digital caliper was used for angiogram measurement of lumen diameter at four sites ( figure ). The relationship between lumen diameter and stent oversizing was compared with student’s t-test and Pearson’s correlation. Results: Twenty vessels were identified in 18 patients, providing 80 paired data points. Mean age was 52 years (SD 12), with mean follow-up time of 8 months (SD 6). The distribution of vessel transitions included BA to PCA (n = 8), A1 to A2 or M1 to M2 (n = 8), ICA to ACA or MCA (n = 3), and Vertebral artery to PICA (n = 1). Stent diameter ranged from 3 mm to 4.5 mm, and the average oversizing in the smaller diameter parent vessel landing-zone was 1.75 mm (range 0.8 to 2.9 mm) greater than the vessel diameter. The mean change in lumen size from pre-stent implantation to follow-up was not significantly different for any of the four sites; the proximal end-stent decreased by 5.5% (SD 19.7), proximal mid-stent increased by 7.3% (SD 18.8), distal mid-stent increased by 14.7% (SD 13.8), and the distal end-stent decreased by 0.9% (SD 13.1). Stent oversizing by less than a factor of 1.65 resulted in a mean lumen loss of 4.1% (SD 15.6), while oversizing by greater than a factor of 1.65 resulted in a mean lumen gain of 11.1% (SD = 17.2), (p = 0.006). Conclusions: These data suggest oversized Neuroform stent implantation within the intracranial vasculature does not lead to increased stenosis. Stent oversizing by a factor of 1.65 or more leads to significant persistent luminal gain. The non-significant trend toward lumen loss at the stent tines suggests diminished radial force or greater neointimal hyperplasia at these sites, however persistent luminal gain from the oversized stent radial force likely predominates over any neointimal hyperplasia.

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.

Abstract Background:Patients with type 2 diabetes are under substantially higher risk of in-stent restenosis (ISR) after coronary stent implantation. We sought to investigate whether visit-to-visit glycemic variability is a potential predictor of ISR in diabetic patients after stent implantation.Methods:Type 2 diabetic patients underwent elective percutaneous coronary intervention were consecutively enrolled and 1-year follow-up coronary angiography was performed. The incidence of ISR and its relationship with visit-to-visit HbA1c variability, expressed as coefficient of variation (CV), standard deviation (SD) and variability independent of the mean (VIM), were studied. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were constructed to analyze the predictive value of glycemic variability for ISR.Results:From September 2014 to July 2018 in Ruijin Hospital, a total of 420 diabetic patients (688 lesions) after stent implantation were included in the final analysis. During a mean follow-up of 12.8 ± 1.3 months, the incidence of ISR was 8.6%, which was significantly increased in patients with higher CV of HbA1c (P = 0.001). The mean diameter stenosis (DS), net luminal loss and net luminal gain were 22.9 ± 16.8%, 0.42 ± 0.88 mm and 1.66 ± 0.83 mm, respectively. Greater DS was observed in subjects with higher tertiles of CV of HbA1c (P < 0.001), and this trend was more prominent in patients with optimal glycemic control (HbA1c ≤ 7%). In multivariate analysis, HbA1c variability was independently associated with incidence of ISR after adjustment for traditional risk factors and mean HbA1c (HR: 3.00 [95% CI:1.14 ~ 7.92] for highest vs. lowest tertile). Inclusion of CV of HbA1c led to a better risk stratification accuracy. Assessing glycemic variability by SD or VIM yielded similar findings.Conclusions:This study suggests that visit-to-visit HbA1c variability is an independent predictor of incidence of ISR in patients with type 2 diabetes after stent implantation.

Abstract Background Second generation bioresorbable scaffold (BRS) technologies with thinner struts were developed to overcome thrombotic and restenotic events when compared to first generation Purpose Herein we compare vascular response and scaffold recoil of first generation BRS (Absorb, BVS, 150 micron) with second generation (Meres 100, MRS, 100 micron) in the porcine model of coronary in stent restenosis model Methods In total 11 BRS and 13 MRS similar scaffolds were implanted in 12 domestic swine, with 110% overstretch under Optical coherence tomography guidance. Animals were followed up for 2, 7 and 28 days (8 scaffolds for each period). At terminal follow up comprehensive evaluation with OCT was performed and tissues harvested for pathology Results Arterial injury expressed as overstretch was similar among groups. There were no differences at 2 and 7 days with regards to lumen area (LA), neointimal area (NA) stent areas (SA) and %AS. At 28 days SA and NA were lower in the MRS group when compared to BRS (SA: 5,1 vs. 8,8 mm2, p=0,01; NA: 1,94 vs. 3.36 mm2; p=0,01). Arterial healing was similar at 28 days between MRS and BRS as expressed by embedded and covered struts (100 vs 100%, p=1,0), however at 7 days there were more uncovered struts in the MRS (43% vs 12%, p=0,01). Conclusions Second generation MRS have proven improved vascular response in porcine coronary model with regard to lesser neointimal hyperplasia. Thinner struts however caused recoil when compared to thicker ones at early follow-up point. Further BRS material and design improvements are necessary to achieve metallic stent - like properties.

Background: It has been reported that pre-procedual C-reactive protein (CRP) correlates with neointimal hyperplasia following bare-metal stent as well as a certain type of drug-eluting stent implantation. The aim of this study was to investigate potential impact of inflammation, as assessed by high sensitivity-CRP (hs-CRP) collected pre-procedure, on neointimal hyperplasia following everolimus-eluting stent (EES) implantation. Methods: Data were obtained from the SPIRIT III trial, a randomized controlled trial comparing an EES with a paclitaxel-eluting stent. Enrolled patients fulfilled the following criteria patients treated with EES stable angina; and volumetric intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) analysis available at 8 months follow-up. Volume index (volume/length) was calculated for vessel (VVI), plaque (PVI), neointima (NIV), and lumen (LVI). Percent neointimal volume (%NIV) was calculated as (NIV/SVI)× 100. Cross-sectional narrowing (CSN) was defined as neointimal area divided by stent area (%). Results: One-hundred thirty two patients met the inclusion criteria (mean age; 65±9 years, male; 75%). There was no significant correlation between hs-CRP and VVI, PVI, and LVI at either baseline or 8 months follow-up. Furthermore, hs-CRP did not correlate with %NIV (r=−0.071, P=0.416) and max CSN (r=−0.020, P=0.819) at follow-up (figure ). Conclusion: Pre-procedual inflammation assessed by hs-CRP did not affect the neointimal hyperplasia at 8 months following everolimus-eluting stent implantation.
