Zero contrast retrograde chronic total occlusions percutaneous coronary intervention: a case series.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with a high risk of contrast-induced nephropathy and resulting progression of CKD to need for renal replacement therapy. Chronic total occlusions (CTO) PCI is increasingly utilized in the treatment of refractory stable angina and ischaemic heart failure. Recent studies have described the feasibility of 'minimal' or 'zero' contrast PCI by employing intravascular imaging and intra-coronary physiology to guide successful stent implantation with resolution of ischaemia. We extended these techniques to CTO lesions via the retrograde approach.

Case presentation

Two patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate ≤15 mL/min who presented with angina symptoms and had subsequent positive stress tests were referred for CTO-PCI. The patients had diagnostic angiography with minimal contrast. After a recovery period, the patients underwent successful retrograde zero contrast CTO-PCI with the use of adjunctive intravascular ultrasound imaging.

Discussion

The described reports are the first two successful attempts at zero contrast retrograde procedures and demonstrate the feasibility of imaging and physiology-guided retrograde PCI without contrast administration in two patients with significant coronary artery disease requiring intervention. When indicated, zero contrast PCI offers the ability to treat obstructive coronary disease without worsening renal function in patients with severe CKD.

Zero-contrast percutaneous coronary intervention for chronic total occlusions guided by intravascular ultrasound with ChromaFlo mode: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundContrast agent allergy may result in severe adverse events that prevent the use of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in some patients, especially for those with complex lesions.Case summaryWe describe a 59-year-old man who presented with the multi-vessel disease and suffered from contrast allergy. The patient refused to have coronary artery bypass grafting surgery, thus two-stage PCI procedures without iodinated contrast media were performed after a detailed discussion with the heart team, including a chronic total occlusion (CTO) lesion in the proximal left anterior descending artery. The intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) was used for finding the entry point of the proximal fibre cap, and assessing the lesion, thereby marking the positions of the proximal and distal edges of the stent. After PCI, stent expansion and subtle edge dissection or incomplete apposition were confirmed by IVUS and ChromaFlo imaging. Zero-contrast PCI was done successfully without any complication.DiscussionThis case report illustrates the feasibility and safety of performing CTO-PCI without contrast agent in carefully and well prepared selected patients.

Zero-iodinated contrast retrograde percutaneous coronary interventions of chronic total occlusions using gadolinium and imaging guidance: a case report of a patient with severe anaphylaxis to iodinated contrast.

Project description:Background:Gadolinium-based contrast agents have been used as an alternative to iodinated contrast agents for simple percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) in patients with obstructive coronary artery disease. Their use has been limited in complex PCI due to poor image quality with gadolinium contrast. Significant dilution of gadolinium is required in an effort to avoid malignant ventricular arrhythmias. Further, the recommended amount of gadolinium contrast that can be used is very limited. Case summary:We describe a case of patient with severe anaphylaxis to iodinated contrast agents despite pre-exposure prophylaxis with steroids and histamine blockers who underwent intravascular imaging-guided PCI of chronic total occlusions (CTOs) of left anterior descending and dominant left circumflex arteries using gadolinium contrast. Discussion:In patients with anaphylaxis to iodinated contrast agents (i) complex coronary interventions including CTO PCI can be successfully performed without use of iodinated contrast, and (ii) combination of intravascular ultrasound guidance and gadolinium-based contrast agents can be safely and effectively used to perform complex PCI.

Retrograde chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention using single catheter: A single centre registry.

Project description:ObjectivesTo analyse the feasibility, safety and procedural outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total occlusions (CTO) through retrograde approach using single catheter.MethodsOur study was a retrospective observational study that enrolled patients who underwent retrograde CTO PCI using a single catheter between June 2016 and February 2020. Clinical success was defined as successful completion of CTO PCI without associated in-hospital major clinical complications like death, myocardial infarction, stroke or urgent revascularisation. Technical success was defined as successful completion of CTO PCI using single catheter and minimum diameter stenosis of <30% with thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade 3, without significant side branch occlusion, flow-limiting dissection, distal embolization, or angiographic thrombus.ResultsTotally 102 patients underwent retrograde CTO PCI during the study period. Out of which, 15 cases were attempted using single catheter. Mean age of the population was 59.1 ± 8.9 years (males: 86.7%) and the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was (61% ± 9.1%). Mean number of diseased arteries was 2.1 ± 0.7, length of the CTO was 25.5 ± 7.4 mm and J-CTO score was 2.3 ± 0.7. We achieved a technical success rate of 73.3% using single catheter, and the overall clinical success (Including single catheter and ping pong) was obtained in 86.7% cases. One patient (6.7%) developed cardiac tamponade and none of study population required dialysis for contrast induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) CONCLUSIONS: Retrograde CTO PCI using single catheter is a technically challenging procedure when compared with other CTO PCI. Our study demonstrated acceptable outcomes which is comparable to other antegrade and retrograde CTO PCI registries.

Dyspnea Among Patients With Chronic Total Occlusions Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Prevalence and Predictors of Improvement.

Project description:BackgroundDyspnea is a common angina equivalent that adversely affects quality of life, but its prevalence in patients with chronic total occlusions (CTOs) and predictors of its improvement after CTO percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are unknown. We examined the prevalence of dyspnea and predictors of its improvement among patients selected for CTO PCI.Methods and resultsIn the OPEN CTO registry (Outcomes, Patient health status, and Efficiency iN Chronic Total Occlusion) of 12 US experienced centers, 987 patients undergoing CTO PCI (procedure success 82%) were assessed for dyspnea with the Rose Dyspnea Scale at baseline and 1 month after CTO PCI. Rose Dyspnea Scale scores range from 0 to 4 with higher scores indicating more dyspnea with common activities. A total of 800 (81%) reported some dyspnea at baseline with a mean (±SD) Rose Dyspnea Scale of 2.8±1.2. Dyspnea improvement was defined as a ≥1 point decrease in Rose Dyspnea Scale from baseline to 1 month. Predictors of dyspnea improvement were examined with a modified Poisson regression model. Patients with dyspnea were more likely to be female, obese, smokers, and to have more comorbidities and angina. Among patients with baseline dyspnea, 70% reported less dyspnea at 1 month after CTO PCI. Successful CTO PCI was associated with more frequent dyspnea improvement than failure, even after adjustment for other clinical variables. Anemia, depression, and lung disease were associated with less dyspnea improvement after PCI.ConclusionsDyspnea is a common symptom among patients undergoing CTO PCI and improves significantly with successful PCI. Patients with other potentially noncardiac causes of dyspnea reported less dyspnea improvement after CTO PCI.

Frequency and outcomes of aortocoronary dissection during percutaneous coronary intervention of chronic total occlusions: a case series and systematic review of the literature.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Aortocoronary dissection can complicate percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of chronic total occlusions (CTOs). METHODS:We retrospectively examined the frequency and outcomes of aortocoronary dissection among 336 consecutive CTO PCIs performed at our institution between 2005 and 2012 and performed a systematic review of the published literature. RESULTS:Aortocoronary dissection occurred in six patients (1.8%, 95% confidence intervals 0.7%, 3.8%). All aortocoronary dissections occurred in the right coronary artery (CTO target vessel in five patients and donor vessel in one patient). The baseline clinical characteristics of patients with and without aortocoronary dissection were similar. Compared to patients without, those with aortocoronary dissection were more likely to undergo crossing attempts using the retrograde approach (25% vs. 67%, P?=?0.036) and experience a major complication (2.4% vs. 33.3%, P?=?0.008). Technical and procedural success rates were similar in both groups. Of the six patients with aortocoronary dissection one underwent emergency coronary bypass graft surgery (CABG), four were treated with ostial stenting, and one was treated conservatively without subsequent adverse clinical outcomes. Systematic literature review provided 107 published cases of aortocoronary dissection during PCI, that occurred mainly in the right coronary artery (74.8%) and were treated with stenting (49.5%), emergency CABG (29%), or conservatively (21.5%). CONCLUSIONS:Aortocoronary dissection is an infrequent complication of CTO PCI and although it can be treated with stents in most patients, it may infrequently require emergency CABG.

Quality of life benefits of percutaneous coronary intervention for chronic occlusions.

Project description:We aimed to compare quality of life benefits of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total occlusions (CTO) with non-CTO PCI.Data quantifying the benefits of PCI of CTO are inconsistent.We leveraged a 10-center prospective PCI registry including Seattle Angina Questionnaire (SAQ) assessment at the time of PCI and in follow-up. We propensity matched attempted CTO PCIs with up to 10 non-CTO PCIs. The primary analysis compared changes between baseline and 6 months in SAQ Physical Limitation (PL), Quality of Life (QoL); Angina Frequency (AF) scores as well as the Rose Dyspnea scores (RDS) and the EQ5D Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Noninferiority was assessed for quality of life changes between CTO and non-CTO PCI.In 3,303 patients enrolled, 167 single-vessel CTOs were attempted; 147 (88%) were matched with 1,616 non-CTO PCI. Baseline PL (73.0 vs. 77.4, P?=?0.039) and VAS (66.4 vs. 70.8, P?=?0.005) scores were lower for CTO. There was no difference in AF, QoL, or RDS scores. At 6-month follow-up, all SAQ scores improved (P?<?0.05 vs. baseline for all) and were equivalent for CTO and Non-CTO (P?=?NS for all). VAS scores remained lower for CTO, but improved in both groups (P?<?0.05 vs. baseline for both). Formal noninferiority testing demonstrated that CTO PCI was not inferior to non-CTO PCI (P???0.02 for all).Symptoms, function, QoL, and dyspnea improve to the same degree following CTO PCI as compared with non-CTO PCI. Symptom relief supports CTO PCI to improve patients' quality of life.

Percutaneous Treatment of Coronary Chronic Total Occlusions Part 1: Rationale and Outcomes.

Project description:Coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs) are commonly encountered in patients with coronary artery disease. Compared to patients without coronary CTOs, those with CTO have worse clinical outcomes and lower likelihood of complete coronary revascularisation. Successful CTO percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) can significantly improve angina and improve left ventricular function. Although currently unproven, successful CTO PCI might also reduce the risk for arrhythmic events in patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy, provide better tolerance of future acute coronary syndrome, and possibly improve survival. Evaluation by a heart team comprised of both interventional and non-interventional cardiologists and cardiac surgeons is important for determining the optimal revascularisation strategy in patients with coronary artery disease and CTOs. Ad hoc CTO PCI is generally not recommended, so as to allow sufficient time for (a) discussion with the patient about the indications, goals, risks, and alternatives to PCI; (b) careful procedural planning; and (c) contrast and radiation exposure minimisation. Use of drug-eluting stents is recommended for CTO PCI, given the lower rates of angiographic restenosis compared to bare metal stents.

Percutaneous coronary intervention versus medical therapy for chronic total coronary occlusions: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised trials.

Project description:BackgroundThe results of chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention (CTO-PCI) trials are inconclusive. Therefore, we studied whether CTO-PCI leads to improvement of clinical endpoints and patient symptoms when combining all available randomised data.Methods and resultsThis meta-analysis was registered in PROSPERO prior to starting. We performed a literature search and identified all randomised trials comparing CTO-PCI to optimal medical therapy alone (OMT). A total of five trials were included, comprising 1790 CTO patients, of whom 964 were randomised to PCI and 826 to OMT. The all-cause mortality was comparable between groups at 1‑year [risk ratio (RR) 1.70, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.50-5.80, p = 0.40] and at 4‑year follow-up (RR 1.14, 95% CI 0.38-3.40, p = 0.81). There was no difference in the incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) between groups at 1 year (RR 0.69, 95% CI 0.36-1.33, p = 0.27) and at 4 years (RR 0.85, 95% CI 0.60-1.22, p = 0.38). Left ventricular function and volumes at follow-up were comparable between groups. However, the PCI group had fewer target lesion revascularisations (RR 0.28, 95% CI 0.15-0.52, p < 0.001) and was more frequently free of angina at 1‑year follow-up (RR 0.65, 95% CI 0.50-0.84, p = 0.001), although the scores on the subscales of the Seattle Angina Questionnaire were comparable.ConclusionIn conclusion, in this meta-analysis of 1790 CTO patients, CTO-PCI did not lead to an improvement in survival or in MACE as reported at long-term follow-up of up to 4 years, or to improvement of left ventricular function. However, CTO-PCI resulted in less angina and fewer target lesion revascularisations compared to OMT.

Outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention for chronic total occlusions in the elderly: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Project description:ObjectiveThis study aimed to compare outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total occlusions (CTO) in the elderly (≥75 years) versus nonelderly and assess the impact of successful CTO-PCI in the elderly.MethodsPubMed, Embase, ScienceDirect, CENTRAL, and Google Scholar databases were searched up to October 1, 2020. Mortality rates and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were compared between elderly and nonelderly patients and successful versus failed CTO-PCI in the elderly.ResultsEight studies were included. Meta-analysis indicated no statistically significant difference in the risk of in-hospital mortality (RR: 1.97 95% CI: 0.78, 4.96 I2 = 0% p = .15) but higher tendency of in-hospital MACE (RR: 2.30 95% CI: 0.99, 5.35 I2 = 49% p = .05) in the elderly group. Risk of long-term mortality (RR: 3.79 95% CI: 2.84, 5.04 I2 = 41% p < .00001) and long-term MACE (RR: 1.53 95% CI: 1.14, 2.04 I2 = 80% p = .004) were significantly increased in the elderly versus nonelderly. Elderly patients had a significantly reduced odds of successful PCI as compared to nonelderly patients (OR: 0.63 95% CI: 0.54, 0.73 I2 = 1% p < .00001). Successful CTO-PCI was associated with reduction in long-term mortality (HR: 0.51 95% CI: 0.34, 0.77 I2 = 27% p = .001) and MACE (HR: 0.60 95% CI: 0.37, 0.97 I2 = 53% p = .04) as compared to failed PCI in elderly.ConclusionsElderly patients may have a tendency of higher in-hospital MACE with significantly increased long-term mortality and MACE after CTO-PCI. The success of PCI is significantly lower in the elderly. In elderly patients with successful PCI, the risk of long-term mortality and MACE is significantly reduced.
