Saphenous vein graft near-infrared spectroscopy imaging insights from the lipid core plaque association with clinical events near-infrared spectroscopy (ORACLE-NIRS) registry.


ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES:We sought to examine near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) imaging findings of aortocoronary saphenous vein grafts (SVGs). BACKGROUND:SVGs are prone to develop atherosclerosis similar to native coronary arteries. They have received little study using NIRS. METHODS:We examined the clinical characteristics and imaging findings from 43 patients who underwent NIRS imaging of 45 SVGs at our institution between 2009 and 2016. RESULTS:The mean patient age was 67?±?7 years and 98% were men, with high prevalence of diabetes mellitus (56%), hypertension (95%), and dyslipidemia (95%). Mean SVG age was 7?±?7 years, mean SVG lipid core burden index (LCBI) was 53?±?60 and mean maxLCBI4 mm was 194?±?234. Twelve SVGs (27%) had lipid core plaques (2 yellow blocks on the block chemogram), with a higher prevalence in SVGs older than 5 years (46% vs. 5%, P?=?0.002). Older SVG age was associated with higher LCBI (r?=?0.480, P?
