Successful Coronary Protection during TAVI in Heavily Calcified Aortic Leaflets in Patient with Short and Low Left Coronary System.

ABSTRACT: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement has been recently approved for patients who are high or intermediate risk for surgical aortic valve replacement. The procedure is associated with several known complications including coronary related complications. Coronary obstruction is rare but disastrous complication, and it is associated with a high mortality rate. Coronary protection technique has emerged as a preemptive technique to avoid this complication. We present a case of successful coronary protection during TAVR in severely calcified left cusp in patient with short and low left ostium.

Contemporary Approach to Heavily Calcified Coronary Lesions.

Project description:Percutaneous treatment of heavily calcified coronary lesions still represents a challenge for interventional cardiology, with higher risk of immediate complications, late failure due to stent underexpansion and malapposition, and consequently poor clinical outcome. Good characterisation of calcium distribution with multimodal imaging is important to improve the successful treatment of these lesions. The use of traditional or new dedicated devices for the treatment of calcified lesions allows better lesion preparation; therefore, it is important that we know the different mechanisms and technical features of these devices.

Effect of Atherectomy on Lesion Preparation in Heavily Calcified Coronary Artery Disease.

Project description:Background: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of heavily calcified lesions remains challenging. This study examined whether calcified lesion preparation is better with an ablation-based than balloon-based technique. Methods and Results: Results of lesion preparations with and without atherectomy devices were compared in 121 patients undergoing optical coherence tomography (OCT)-guided PCI of heavily calcified lesions. Lesion preparation was performed with the ablation-based technique in 59 patients (atherectomy group) and with the balloon-based technique in 62 patients (balloon group). Lower grades of angiographic coronary dissections (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute [NHLBI] classification) occurred in the atherectomy than balloon group (atherectomy group: none, 33%; NHLBI A, 59%; B, 8%; C, 0%; D, 0%; balloon group: none, 1%; NHLBI A, 24%; B, 58%; C, 15%; D, 2%). On OCT, a large dissection was less common (49% vs. 90%; P<0.001) and calcium fractures were more frequent (75% vs. 18%; P<0.001) in the atherectomy than balloon group. In multivariable analyses, the ablation-based technique was associated with a lower grade of angiographic coronary dissection (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.04; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.01-0.12; P<0.001), a lower incidence of OCT-detected large dissection (aOR 0.09; 95% CI 0.03-0.30; P<0.001), and a higher incidence of OCT-detected calcium fracture (aOR 18.19; 95% CI 6.45-58.96; P<0.001). Conclusions: The ablation-based technique outperformed the balloon-based technique in the lesion preparation of heavily calcified lesions.

Load-sharing characteristics of stenting and post-dilation in heavily calcified coronary artery.

Project description:In this work, stenting in non-calcified and heavily calcified coronary arteries was quantified in terms of diameter-pressure relationships and load transfer from the balloon to the artery. The efficacy of post-dilation in non-calcified and heavily calcified coronary arteries was also characterized in terms of load sharing and the changes in tissue mechanics. Our results have shown that stent expansion exhibits a cylindrical shape in non-calcified lesions, while it exhibits a dog bone shape in heavily calcified lesions. Load-sharing analysis has shown that only a small portion of the pressure load (1.4 N, 0.8% of total pressure load) was transferred to the non-calcified lesion, while a large amount of the pressure load (19 N, 12%) was transferred to the heavily calcified lesion. In addition, the increasing inflation pressure (from 10 to 20 atm) can effectively increase the minimal lumen diameter (from 1.48 to 2.82 mm) of the heavily calcified lesion, the stress (from 1.5 to 8.4 MPa) and the strain energy in the calcification (1.77 mJ to 26.5 mJ), which are associated with the potential of calcification fracture. Results indicated that increasing inflation pressure can be an effective way to improve the stent expansion if a dog bone shape of the stenting profile is observed. Considering the risk of a balloon burst, our results support the design and application of the high-pressure balloon for post-dilation. This work also sheds some light on the stent design and choice of stent materials for improving the stent expansion at the dog bone region and mitigating stresses on arterial tissues.

First case report of fully robotically assisted lithotripsy in heavily calcified left main stenosis.

Project description:BackgroundPercutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the standard-of-care treatment for left main stenosis as an alternative to bypass surgery. In addition, severe coronary lesion calcification can be modified by intravascular lithotripsy (IVL). However, with PCI and debulking treatment options, there are inherent limitations. PCI poses an increased health burden for the treating physician that is associated with wearing a heavy, lead-lined apron and being exposed to radiation. To overcome these issues, a robotically assisted angioplasty system (rPCI) was established that enables the operator to perform PCI remotely in routine clinical procedures. Furthermore, IVL have not been used remotely.Case summaryHere, we report the use of this technique for treating a heavily calcified left main stenosis in an 82-year-old male with previously diagnosed two-vessel coronary artery disease, progressive symptoms of dyspnoea at high cardio-vascular risk profile. The decision of the local heart team declined surgery. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of successful rPCI combined with IVL.DiscussionIn the case presented, rPCI was feasible and safe even in a complex lesion of the left main coronary artery requiring IVL. rPCI is a revolutionary new technique that may be applied to various types of coronary artery lesions.

Combined Computed Coronary Tomography Angiography and Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) Planning Computed Tomography Reliably Detects Relevant Coronary Artery Disease Pre-TAVI.

Project description:Background: Before surgical or transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), coronary status evaluation is required. The role of combined computed coronary tomography angiography (cCTA) and TAVI planning CT in this context is not yet well elucidated. This study assessed whether relevant proximal coronary disease requiring coronary revascularization can be safely detected by combined cCTA and TAVI planning CT, including CT-derived fractional flow reserve (FFR) calculation in patients with severe aortic stenosis. Methods: This study analyzed patients with successful cCTA combined with TAVI planning CT using a 128-slice dual-source scanner. The detection via cCTA of relevant left main stem stenosis (>50%) or proximal coronary artery stenosis (>70%) was compared to invasive coronary angiography (ICA). Results: This study comprised 101 consecutive TAVI patients with a median age of 83 [77-86] years, a median STS score of 3.7 [2.4-6.1] and 54% of whom had known coronary artery disease. Of 15 patients with relevant coronary stenoses, 14 (93.3%) were detected with cCTA, while false positive results were found in 25 patients. Only in patients with previous percutaneous coronary stent implantation (PCI) were false positive rates (11/29) increased. In the subgroup without previous PCI, an improved classification performance of 87.5%, being mainly due to 11.1% false positive classifications, led to a negative predictive value of 98.5%. Conclusions: Combined cCTA and CT-FFR with TAVI planning CT via state-of-the-art scanners and protocols as a one-stop shop can replace routine ICA in patients prior to TAVI due to its safe detection of relevant coronary artery stenosis, although diagnostic performance of cCTA is only reduced in patients with coronary stents.

Intravascular ultrasound-factors associated with slow flow following rotational atherectomy in heavily calcified coronary artery.

Project description:Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) can provide useful information in patients undergoing complex percutaneous coronary intervention with rotational atherectomy (RA). The association between IVUS findings and slow flow following rotational atherectomy (RA) has not been investigated, although slow flow has been shown to be an unfavorable sign with worse outcomes. The aim of this study was to determine the IVUS-factors associated with slow flow just after RA. We retrospectively enrolled 290 lesions (5316 IVUS-frames) with RA, which were divided into the slow flow group (n = 43 with 1029 IVUS-frames) and the non-slow flow group (n = 247 with 4287 IVUS-frames) based on the presence of slow flow. Multivariate regression analysis assessed the IVUS-factors associated with slow flow. Slow flow was significantly associated with long lesion length, the maximum number of reverberations [odds ratio (OR) 1.49; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.07-2.07, p = 0.02] and nearly circumferential calcification at minimal lumen area (MLA) (≥ 300°) (OR, 2.21; 95% CI 1.13-4.32; p = 0.02). According to the maximum number of reverberations, the incidence of slow flow was 2.2% (n = 0), 11.9% (n = 1), 19.5% (n = 2), 22.5% (n = 3), and 44.4% (n = 4). In conclusion, IVUS findings such as longer lesion length, the maximum number of reverberations, and the greater arc of calcification at MLA may predict slow flow after RA. The operators need to pay more attention to the presence of reverberations to enhance the procedure safety.

Treatment of heavily calcified coronary artery stenosis using 3.5 mm peripheral intravascular lithotripsy balloon: case series.

Project description:BackgroundPrevalence of coronary artery calcification is high among patients with advanced age, chronic kidney disease, and diabetes. Percutaneous coronary intervention of heavily calcified coronary artery remains a significant challenge for interventional cardiologists. Although there are several modalities available in treating calcified coronary arteries, lesion preparation of certain heavily calcified vessels remains inadequate prior to stent deployment and/or often associated with worse periprocedural adverse outcomes.Case summaryWe report feasibility and safety of 3.5 mm peripheral intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) for the treatment of severely calcified coronary stenosis in two patients after orbital atherectomy failed to debulk calcified plaque to enable stent deployment.DiscussionIntravascular lithotripsy has recently emerged as a therapeutic option in treating calcified peripheral artery disease. However, coronary IVL is currently available only in a few centres in the USA. Studies are ongoing in the safety and efficacy of this technology in treating coronaries.
