Purpose: Multiple randomized controlled trials have shown that both drug coated balloons (DCBs) and bare metal stents (BMSs) significantly reduce restenosis in femoropopliteal lesions compared with plain balloon angioplasty. However, few studies have directly compared DCB and BMS treatments. Therefore, the goal of our study was to determine if the rate of target lesion revascularization (TLR) differs between DCB and BMS treatment at our center. Materials and methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of femoropopliteal interventions at a single center from 2009 to 2017. The intervention, patient and lesion characteristics, and TLR events were recorded. Exclusion criteria were loss of follow-up, death, bail-out stenting, and amputation within 60 days of treatment. Freedom from TLR was analyzed over a 3 year period with Kaplan-Meier survival curves. Cox hazard ratios were calculated to account for patient and lesion characteristics. Results: A total of 322 lesions (234 patients) treated with DCBs and 225 lesions (194 patients) treated with BMSs were included in this study. There were significant differences in baseline patient and lesion characteristics between groups—a greater proportion of women, patients with dyslipidemia, and lesions with popliteal involvement were treated with DCBs. There was no difference in the freedom from TLR between DCBs and BMSs. Accounting for patient and lesion characteristics, there was still no difference between DCBs and BMSs on the hazard of TLR. While our analysis did not detect a difference in the rate of TLR, there was a significant difference in the type of TLR. Compared with DCBs, a greater proportion of lesions initially treated with BMSs were retreated via surgical bypass rather than endovascular intervention, suggesting that lesions treated with DCBs may be more amenable to future endovascular intervention. Conclusion: Our retrospective analysis showed no difference in the rate of TLR between lesions treated with DCBs and BMSs. However, DCBs were more often used in complicated lesions involving popliteal arteries and may also allow for easier endovascular reintervention.

SummaryAims: We compared the intracoronary β-brachytherapy using a liquid rhenium-188 filled balloon with the slow-release, polymer-based, paclitaxel-eluting Taxus-Express stent for treatment of in-stent restenoses. Patients, methods: During the same study period, patients with restenoses in bare-metal stents were either treated with Taxus- Express stents (n = 50) or β-brachytherapy after successful angioplasty (n = 51). For brachytherapy 30 Gy in 0.5 mm tissue depth were administered. The irradiated segment exceeded the traumatized segment 7.5 mm on both sides. Primary endpoint was the minimal lumen diameter (MLD) at the target lesion at six months follow-up. Angiographic follow-up was available in 78% (n = 79/101) and clinical follow-up in all patients. Results: Baseline parameters did not differ statistically. The Taxus-Express stent resulted in a significantly larger MLD and a significantly lower percent diameter stenosis post intervention compared to β-brachytherapy, which both maintained until angiographic follow-up (primary endpoint 2.44 ± 0.74 mm versus 1.73 ± 0.74 mm, p <0.0001). Therefore, Taxus- Express stents were associated with a lower angiographic restenosis rate compared with β-brachytherapy, both for the target lesion (6.1% versus 17.4%) and the total segment (9.1% versus 23.9%). Moreover, use of Taxus-stent was associated with a clinical benefit based on a significantly lower MACE rate compared with β-brachytherapy (p <0.05). Conclusions: Paclitaxel-eluting Taxus- Express stents resulted in superior clinical and angiographic outcomes compared to intracoronary β-brachytherapy with a liquid 188Re filled balloon for treatment of restenosis within a bare-metal stent.

Background. Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is accompanied by excessive production of catecholamines, which is characterized by a hypokalemic dip. A polymorphism of the adrenergic receptor has also been reported to be associated with target lesion revascularization (TLR) after coronary intervention.Subjects and Methods. We enrolled 276 consecutive patients with AMI within 24 hours of symptom onset, who underwent emergency coronary intervention using bare metal stents and had examinations over a 5–10-month follow-up period. The patients were divided into tertiles based on their serum potassium level on admission (low K, <3.9; mid K, ≥3.9, <4.3; and high K, ≥4.3).Results. Sixty-four TLRs were observed in the study. Increased potassium concentration was associated significantly with TLR. Patients in the high K group were about two and a half times more likely to have a TLR after AMI compared to those in the low K group. Multiple logistic analysis showed that potassium level on admission was an independent risk factor for TLR (odds ratio 1.69; confidence interval 1.04 to 2.74;P=0.036).Conclusions. These findings indicated that increased potassium levels on admission might predict TLRs in AMI patients treated with bare metal stents.

A Meta-Analysis of Drug Eluting Stents vs. Bare Metal Stents for Treatment of Extracranial Vertebral Artery Disease Background: —Although a growing number of reports offer evidence for the potential of drug eluting stents (DES) in treating atherosclerotic stenosis of the extracranial vertebral artery, their efficacy when compared to bare metal stents (BMS) is uncertain due to the lack of a large prospective randomized trial. Methods: —A search strategy was used using the terms "stents," "drug-eluting stents," "atherosclerosis," "vertebral artery," and "vertebrobasilar insufficiency" through Medline. Five studies met the criteria for a comparative meta-analysis. The technical and clinical success, periprocedural complications, target vessel revascularization (TVR), rates of restenosis and recurrent symptoms and overall survival were compared between the DES and BMS groups using the Mantel-Haenszel method with fixed and random effect models. Results: —The mean pretreatment stenosis was 83.8±4.2% in the DES group (n = 156) and 80.12±2.7% in the BMS group (n = 148). There was no significant difference in the technical success (OR = 1.528, p = 0.622), clinical success (OR = 1.917, p = 0.274) and periprocedural complications (OR = 0.741, p = 0.614) between the two groups. The rates of technical success, clinical success and periprocedural complications were 98.78%, 95.77% and 1.94% for the DES group vs. 100%, 97.96% and 2.96% for the BMS group. There was no periprocedural mortality, stroke or TIA. The mean clinical and radiological follow-up times were 19.1±6.9 and 14.23±1.5 months respectively, for the DES arm and 26±7.6 and 20.5±3.3 months, respectively, for the BMS group. A 0.388 odds ratio of no-restenosis in the BMS to DES arms (p = 0.001) indicated a significantly higher restenosis rate in the BMS group relative to the DES group (33.57% vs. 15.49%, respectively). When compared with the DES group, the BMS group had a significantly higher rate of recurrent symptoms (2.76% vs. 11.26%; OR = 3.319, p = 0.011) and TVR (4.83% vs. 19.21%; OR = 4.099, p = 0.001). There was no significant difference between overall survival (OR = 0.655, p = 0.32). Conclusion: —A lower rate of restenosis, recurrent symptoms and target vessel revascularization was noted in the DES group.

Background: The association of restenosis requiring target lesion revascularization (TLR) and late cardiac outcomes after drug-eluting versus bare metal stents (BMS) has not been previously assessed. Methods: We hypothesized that restenosis requiring TLR within 1 year after stenting would be associated with increased risk of adverse cardiac outcomes during the next 4 years. Of 1058 patients randomized to sirolimus-eluting (SES) or BMS in the SIRIUS trial, 37 were excluded due to multivessel (6) or SVG (1) stenting or the occurrence of TLR within the first 30 days (30), leaving 515 SES and 506 BMS. Patients with TLR for restenosis indication between 31–360 days after the index procedure (TLR group) were compared with all others (Non TLR group) for outcomes during years 2–5. The primary endpoint was a composite of cardiac death, any MI or any repeat revascularization. The secondary endpoint was cardiac death or any MI. All events were adjudicated by an independent committee. Event rates were estimated using Kaplan-Meier (KM) method and compared using log rank. The correlates of the primary and secondary endpoints were tested using Cox proportional hazards regression. Results: TLR occurred in 120 (11.8%) patients. TLR patients had lower frequency of SES (24.2% vs. 53.9%, p<0.001), more diabetes (35.8% vs. 25.2%, p=0.02) and smaller diameter vessels (2.7±0.5 vs. 2.8±0.5 mm, p=0.04). TLR presented with MI in 7 (5.8%) patients, including CKMB >5 times normal in 6 (5.0%) patients. The primary endpoint occurred in 42 (36.1%) TLR and 211 (24.3%) Non TLR patients (log-rank p = 0.002). Cardiac death or MI occurred in 16 (13.8%) TLR patients and 57 (6.6%) Non TLR patients (log-rank p = 0.005). TLR was an independent predictor of the primary endpoint (Hazard ratio [HR] 1.6, 95% CI 1.2–1.9) and of cardiac death or MI (HR 1.9, 95% CI 1.3–2.4). Other independent predictors of cardiac death or MI were diabetes (HR 2.2, 95% CI = 1.7–2.6) and prior MI (HR 1.9, 95% CI 1.3–2.4). SES compared with BMS was not significantly associated with the primary endpoint or cardiac death or MI. Conclusions: Restenosis requiring TLR during 31–360 days after successful stenting is associated with an increased risk of adverse outcomes, including cardiac death or MI, in subsequent years.

Purpose: To report a Bayesian network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing bare metal stents (BMS), paclitaxel-coated balloons (PCBs), and drug-eluting stents (DES) with balloon angioplasty (BA) or with each other in the infrapopliteal arteries. Methods: Sixteen RCTs comprising 1805 patients with 1-year median follow-up were analyzed. Bayesian random effects binomial models were employed (WinBUGS). Relative treatment effects were expressed as odds ratios (ORs) with 95% credible intervals (CrI), and the cumulative rank probabilities were calculated to provide hierarchies of competing treatments. Quality of evidence (QoE) was assessed with the GRADE (grading of recommendations assessment, development, and evaluation) system. Sensitivity, heterogeneity, and consistency analyses were performed. Results: There was high QoE that infrapopliteal DES significantly reduced restenosis compared with BMS (OR 0.26, 95% CrI 0.12 to 0.51) and BA (OR 0.22, 95% CrI 0.11 to 0.45). Likewise, DES significantly reduced target lesion revascularization (TLR) compared with BA (OR 0.41, 95% CrI 0.22 to 0.75) and BMS (OR 0.26, 95% CrI 0.15 to 0.45). Paclitaxel-coated balloons also reduced TLR compared with BA (OR 0.55, 95% CrI 0.34 to 0.90) and BMS (OR 0.35, 95% CrI 0.18 to 0.67), but QoE was low to moderate. BA had lower TLR than BMS (OR 0.63, 95% CrI 0.40 to 0.99) with high QoE. DES was the only treatment that significantly reduced limb amputations compared with BA (OR 0.58, 95% CrI 0.35 to 0.96), PCB (OR 0.51, 95% CrI 0.26 to 0.98), or BMS (OR 0.38, 95% CrI 0.19 to 0.72) with moderate to high QoE. DES also significantly improved wound healing compared with BA (OR 2.02, 95% CrI 1.01 to 4.07) or BMS (OR 3.45, 95% CrI 1.41 to 8.73) with high QoE. Results were stable on sensitivity and meta-regression analyses without any significant publication bias or inconsistency. Conclusion: Infrapopliteal DES were associated with significantly lower rates of restenosis, TLR, and amputations and improved wound healing compared to BA and BMS. DES also significantly reduced amputations compared with PCB.

Abstract OBJECTIVES This study was undertaken to evaluate the acute and midterm results of endovascular treatment with bare metal stents (BMS) for Leriche syndrome patients. METHODS Patients with Leriche syndrome treated with BMS from August 2008 to May 2017 were included in the study and followed up. The primary endpoints were primary restenosis-free survival rates at 1, 2 and 3 years. The secondary endpoints were secondary restenosis-free and freedom from target lesion revascularization survival rates at 1, 2 and 3 years; technical success rate; complication rate; procedure-related mortality rate; and clinical status improvement at follow-up. RESULTS Twenty patients were included and the follow-up duration was 34.7 ± 18.7 months (0–86 months). The 1-, 2- and 3-year primary restenosis-free survival rates were 94.4%, 88.1% and 73.5% and the secondary patency rates were 94.4%, 94.4% and 86.6%, respectively. The freedom from target lesion revascularization survival rates of patients at 1, 2 and 3 years were 94.4%, 88.1% and 79.3%, respectively. The aortoiliac lesions were successfully treated with BMS bilaterally in 17 patients (85.0%) and unilaterally in another 3 patients (15.0%). The complication rate was 10.0% and the procedure-related mortality rate was 0%. Mean ankle-brachial index increased significantly from 0.43 ± 0.20 before the procedure to 0.95 ± 0.21 after the procedure (P &lt; 0.001), and to 1.00 ± 0.19 at the end of the follow-up (P &lt; 0.001). Improvement in symptoms occurred in most patients soon after the endovascular procedure (95.0%) and at follow-up (88.2%). CONCLUSIONS Endovascular treatment with BMS is effective and safe for patients with Leriche syndrome according to 3-year follow-up results.

Previous research from our group has demonstrated arsenic trioxide eluting stents significantly reduced neointimal area and thickness compared with bare metal stents. In the present study, the anti-inflammatory effects of arsenic trioxidein vitroand arsenic trioxide eluting stents in a porcine coronary model have been explored. Sixty-five pigs underwent placement of 139 oversized stents in the coronary arteries with histologic analysis, endothelial function analysis, and immunohistochemical and western blot analyses. Arsenic trioxide eluting stents effectively inhibited local inflammatory reactions, while no significant difference in endothelialization and endothelial function between arsenic trioxide eluting stents and bare metal stents was observed. Arsenic trioxide eluting stents favorably modulate neointimal formation due to less augmentation of early inflammatory reactions, and quick endothelialization of the stent surface, which might contribute to long-term safety and efficacy of drug eluting stents.
