Assessment of plaque evolution in coronary bifurcations located beyond everolimus eluting scaffolds: serial intravascular ultrasound virtual histology study
PURPOSE To evaluate the atherosclerotic evolution in coronary bifurcations located proximally and distally to a bioresorbable scaffold. METHODS Thirty bifurcations located >5 mm beyond the scaffolded segment, being investigated with serial intravascular ultrasound virtual histology (IVUS-VH) examinations, at baseline and 2-years, in patients enrolled in the ABSORB cohort B1 study were include...
متن کاملContemporary Reviews in Interventional Cardiology Advances in Intravascular Imaging
This review updates the role of various intravascular imaging techniques (1) in the detection of vulnerable plaque and (2) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), especially drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation and follow-up—including intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), virtual histology (VH-IVUS) and integrated backscatter (IBIVUS), optical coherent tomography (OCT), near-infrared (NIR)...
متن کاملEffect of obesity on coronary atherosclerosis and outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention: grayscale and virtual histology intravascular ultrasound substudy of assessment of dual antiplatelet therapy with drug-eluting stents.
BACKGROUND Obesity is a cardiovascular risk factor, but the obesity paradox in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention is poorly understood. METHODS AND RESULTS Assessment of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy With Drug-Eluting Stents (ADAPT-DES) was a prospective, multicenter study of patients undergoing drug-eluting stent implantation. Overall, 780 patients (916 culprit lesions) were ...
متن کاملEvolution of nonculprit coronary atherosclerotic plaques assessed by serial virtual histology intravascular ultrasound in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and chronic total occlusion
OBJECTIVE The pathophysiology and natural course of coronary nonculprit plaques remain unclear. We investigated whether the short-term natural course of nonculprit plaques differs between ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and chronic total occlusion (CTO) patients. METHODS We performed serial virtual histology intravascular ultrasound on nonculprit plaques in 26 STEMI and 11 ...
متن کاملImpact of the Distance from the Stent Edge to the Residual Plaque on Edge Restenosis following Everolimus-Eluting Stent Implantation
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to assess the relation between stent edge restenosis (SER) and the distance from the stent edge to the residual plaque using quantitative intravascular ultrasound. BACKGROUND Although percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stents has improved SER rates, determining an appropriate stent edge landing zone can be challenging in cases of diffuse plaque le...
