Physiological evaluation of the provisional side-branch intervention strategy for bifurcation lesions using instantaneous wave-free ratio.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:The provisional side-branch intervention strategy remains the gold standard approach for repair of coronary bifurcation lesions. We performed this study to evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes of using the instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) for physiological assessment in provisional side-branch repair of bifurcation lesions. METHODS:Fifty patients with coronary bifurcation lesions were equally divided into two groups: (I) an iFR-guided side-branch intervention group and (II) a conventional group, in which the operator selected a different interventional method. After the procedure, we performed a six-month follow-up for postoperative ejection fraction (EF) and clinical cardiac outcomes. RESULTS:Our results showed that the iFR measurement procedure was technically feasible in bifurcation lesions, with no procedural-related complications. Moreover, measuring iFR significantly predicted the side-branch percent stenosis after stenting of the main branch (r?=?-0.81, p?

Project description:BackgroundThe optimal side branch (SB) treatment strategy after simple crossover stenting in bifurcation lesions is still controversial.ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to compare the long-term outcomes of a 1-stent strategy with simple crossover alone versus with an additional SB-opening procedure in patients with left main (LM) and non-LM coronary bifurcation lesions.MethodsPatients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention with a 1-stent strategy for bifurcation lesions including LM were selected from the COBIS (Coronary Bifurcation Stenting) III registry and divided into the simple crossover-alone group and SB-opening group. Clinical outcomes were assessed by the 5-year rate of target lesion failure (a composite of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, and target lesion repeat revascularization).ResultsAmong 2,194 patients who underwent the 1-stent strategy, 1,685 (76.8%) patients were treated with simple crossover alone, and 509 (23.2%) patients were treated with an additional SB-opening procedure. Although the baseline SB angiographic disease was more severe in the SB-opening group, the final lumen diameter of the SB was larger. The 5-year observed target lesion failure rate was similar between the 2 groups (7.0% in the simple crossover vs. 6.7% in SB-opening group; hazard ratio: 0.99; 95% confidence interval: 0.66 to 1.48; p = 0.947), even in the subgroup analyses including LM (9.5% vs. 11.3%; p = 0.442) and true bifurcation (5.3% vs. 7.8%; p = 0.362). The results were not changed after an inverse probability of treatment weighting adjustment. There was no difference in the overall and SB-related target lesion revascularization rate in both groups.ConclusionsThe long-term clinical outcome of the 1-stent strategy with simple crossover alone for coronary bifurcation lesions was acceptable compared to those of additional SB-opening procedures.

Project description:Background and Objectives: Little is known about the upfront two-stent strategy (U2SS) for true coronary bifurcation lesions (CBLs) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We aimed to present our two-year follow-up results on the U2SS by using different two-stent techniques for the true CBL with a large side branch (SB) in ACS patients, including unstable angina (UA), non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), and to identify independent predictors of the presence of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) after intervention. Materials and Methods: The study included 201 consecutive ACS patients with true CBLs who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using U2SS from October 2015 to March 2018. Clinical outcomes at follow-up were assessed. MACE was defined as a composite of cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and target lesion revascularization (TLR). Results: 31.3% of the patients had an UA, 46.3% had an NSTEMI, and 22.4% had an STEMI. CBL was most frequently located in the left anterior descending (LAD)/diagonal artery (59.2%). In total, 71.1% of the patients had a Medina classification (1,1,1). Overall, 62.2% of cases were treated with mini-crush stenting. Clopidogrel was given in 23.9% of the patients; 71.1% of the patients received everolimus eluting stent (EES); and 11.9% received a sirolimus eluting stent (SES). Final kissing balloon inflation was carried out in all patients, with an unsatisfactory rate of 5%. A proximal optimization technique sequence was successfully carried out in all patients. The MACE incidence was 16.9% with a median follow-up period of 2.1 years. There were seven cardiac deaths (3.5%). The TLR rate was 13.4% (n = 27), with PCI treatment in 16 patients, and coronary artery bypass grafting treatment in 11 patients. After multivariate penalized logistic regression analysis (Firth logistic regression), clopidogrel use (odds ratio (OR): 2.19; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.41-2.51; p = 0.007) and SES use (OR: 1.86; 95% CI: 0.31-2.64; p = 0.014) were independent predictors of the presence of MACE. Conclusion: U2SS is feasible and safe for the true CBLs with large and diseased SB in ACS patients, and is related to a relatively low incidence of MACE. Clopidogrel use and SES use may predict the MACE development in ACS patients treated using U2SS.
