چکیده

OBJECTIVE To validate optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging for assessment of vascular healing in a preclinical animal model and human autopsy cases and to translate the findings to the assessment of vascular healing after drug-eluting stent implantation in clinical practice. APPROACH AND RESULTS Drug-eluting and bare metal stents were imaged 28 and 42 days after implantation in atherosclerotic rabbits using OCT and simultaneously evaluated by histology. After coregistration with histology, gray-scale signal intensity (GSI) was measured for identified mature or immature neointimal tissue. Autopsy specimens were imaged with OCT and GSI values correlated with histology. Finally, prospective OCT imaging and GSI measurements were acquired in 10 patients undergoing follow-up 6 months after stenting with drug-eluting stents. Histopathologic and OCT morphometric analysis of implanted stents showed excellent correlation. Neointimal growth and vessel healing at 28 days in the animal model best correlated with human stented arteries at 6 months. In animal and human autopsy specimens, mature neointimal tissue consistently showed higher GSI values. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis displayed high sensitivity and specificity for detection of mature neointima in animal (96% and 79%, respectively) and human autopsy (89% and 71%, respectively) data. In patients undergoing OCT follow-up 6 months after drug-eluting stent implantation, prospective GSI analysis revealed that a minimum of 27.7% of areas above stent struts represented mature neointima. CONCLUSIONS Novel GSI analysis of OCT imaging data allows distinction between mature and immature neointimal tissue in animal models, autopsy specimens, and patients undergoing invasive surveillance in simple atherosclerotic lesions.

Evaluation in 3 months duration of neointimal coverage after zotarolimus-eluting stent implantation by optical coherence tomography: the ENDEAVOR OCT trial.

OBJECTIVES We performed this study to investigate the vascular response in early period after zotarolimus-eluting stent (ZES) (Endeavor Sprint, Medtronic CardioVascular, Minneapolis, Minnesota) implantation. BACKGROUND The ZES has different characteristics, with biocompatible polymer and rapid drug-elution, compared with the first-generation drug-eluting stents (DES). METHODS The ENDEAVOR O...

Stent Evaluation with Optical Coherence Tomography

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has been recently applied to investigate coronary artery disease in interventional cardiology. Compared to intravascular ultrasound, OCT is able to visualize various vascular structures more clearly with higher resolution. Several validation studies have shown that OCT is more accurate in evaluating neointimal tissue after coronary stent implantation than intr...

Randomized comparison of stent strut coverage following angiography- or optical coherence tomography-guided percutaneous coronary intervention.

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The clinical benefits of optical coherence tomography-guided percutaneous coronary intervention are unclear. Therefore, in this study we sought to evaluate the impact of optical coherence tomography guidance on stent strut coverage following drug-eluting stent implantation. METHODS A total of 101 patients in 105 lesions were randomly assigned to receive percutaneou...

A Case of Iatrogenic Intra-Stent Coronary Dissection after Biolimus-Eluting Stent Deployment in the Left Main Coronary Artery

We encountered a case of an iatrogenic intra-stent coronary dissection at the guiding catheter engagement in 6-month follow-up angiography after a biolimuseluting stent implantation in the left main coronary artery (LMCA). The optical coherence tomography revealed peeling of the thin neointima inside the stent and thrombus formation. We made a reentry through the dissected lumen with the guide ...

Formation and Transformation of Neointima after Drug-eluting Stent Implantation: Insights from Optical Coherence Tomographic Studies

After coronary stent implantation, neointima formation resembles the wound healing process as it involves the sequential processes of inflammation, granulation, and remodeling. Because antiproliferative drugs and polymers of drug-eluting stents (DESs) delay vascular healing compared with bare metal stents, fibrin deposition can remain long after stent implantation, or inflammation can be excess...
