Contemporary Approach to Heavily Calcified Coronary Lesions.

ABSTRACT: 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.

Orbital atherectomy of calcified coronary ostial lesions.

Project description:ObjectivesTo evaluate the feasibility and safety of coronary orbital atherectomy (OA) for the treatment of calcified ostial lesions.BackgroundPercutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is increasingly being completed in complex patients and lesions. OA is effective for severely calcified coronary lesions; however, there is a dearth of evidence on the use of OA in ostial lesions, especially with long-term outcome data.MethodsData were obtained from a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent OA of heavily calcified ostial lesions followed by stent implantation from December 2010 to June 2019 at two high-volume PCI centers. Kaplan-Meier analysis was utilized to assess the primary endpoints of 30-day, 1-year, and 2-year freedom-from (FF) major adverse cardiac events (MACE: death, myocardial infarction, or target vessel revascularization), stroke, and stent thrombosis (ST).ResultsA total of 56 patients underwent OA to treat heavily calcified ostial coronary lesions. The mean age was 72 years with a high prevalence of diabetes (55%) and heart failure (36%), requiring hemodynamic support (14%). There was high FF angiographic complications (93%), and at 30-day, 1-year, and 2-year, a high FF-MACE (96%, 91%, and 88%), stroke (98%, 96%, and 96%), and ST (100%), respectively.ConclusionsThis study represents the largest real-world experience of coronary OA use in heavily calcified ostial lesions with long-term outcomes over 2 years. The main finding in this retrospective analysis is that, despite the complex patients and lesions included in this analysis, OA appears to be a feasible and safe treatment option for calcified coronary ostial lesions.

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.

Three contemporary thin-strut drug-eluting stents implanted in severely calcified coronary lesions of participants in a randomized all-comers trial.

Project description:ObjectiveThe objective was to assess the 2-year clinical performance of three drug-eluting stents in all-comer patients with severely calcified coronary lesions.BackgroundSevere lesion calcification increases cardiovascular event risk after coronary stenting, but there is a lack of data on the clinical outcome of all-comers with severely calcified lesions who were treated with more recently introduced drug-eluting stents.MethodsThe BIO-RESORT trial (clinicaltrials.gov: NCT01674803) randomly assigned 3,514 all-comer patients to biodegradable polymer Synergy everolimus-eluting stents (EES) or Orsiro sirolimus-eluting stents (SES), versus durable polymer Resolute Integrity zotarolimus-eluting stents (ZES). In a post hoc analysis, we assessed 783 patients (22.3%) with at least one severely calcified target lesion.ResultsAt 2-year follow-up (available in 99% of patients), the main composite endpoint target vessel failure occurred in 19/252 (7.6%) of the EES and in 33/265 (12.6%) of the ZES-treated patients (p = .07). Target vessel failure occurred in 24/266 (9.1%) of the SES-treated patients (vs. ZES: p = .21). There was a difference in target vessel revascularization, which was required in EES in 6/252 (2.4%) patients and in ZES in 20/265 (7.7%) patients (p = .01); the target vessel revascularization rate in SES was 9/266 (3.4%, vs. ZES: p = .04). Multivariate analysis showed that implantation of EES, but not SES, was independently associated with lower target vessel revascularization rates than in ZES.ConclusionsIn BIO-RESORT participants with severely calcified target lesions, treatment with EES was associated with a lower 2-year target vessel revascularization rate than treatment with ZES.

Endovascular revascularization of heavily calcified occlusion in superior mesenteric artery using Transcollateral approach.

Project description:BackgroundMesenteric ischaemia is often a manifestation of severe vascular disease involving the superior mesenteric artery (SMA). Endovascular revascularization is challenging in a chronic total occlusion (CTO) of SMA.Case presentationA-73-year-old male patient was referred to our hospital because of a 2-year history of post prandial abdominal angina. Computed tomography (CT) images revealed a heavily calcified CTO in the ostium of SMA and three-dimensional CT (3D-CT) detected pancreaticoduodenal arcade with filling from the celiac artery. Then, endovascular procedure was attempted; however, angiography did not show the collateral route suitable for transcollateral approach. As demonstrated on the CT, we were successful in passing a guidewire through the SMA-CTO via the celiac trunk transcollateral route. After pull-through of the guidewire, two balloon-expandable stents were deployed in the ostium of SMA. During 3 months after stent implantation, the patient had no further episodes of abdominal angina on dual-anti-platelet therapy.ConclusionWe demonstrate a case of a heavily calcified SMA occlusion successfully treated with endovascular stenting employing a transcollateral approach, guided by 3D-CT.

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.

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

Project description: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.

SCAI Expert Consensus Statement on the Management of Calcified Coronary Lesions.

Project description:The prevalence of calcification in obstructive coronary artery disease is on the rise. Percutaneous coronary intervention of these calcified lesions is associated with increased short-term and long-term risks. To optimize percutaneous coronary intervention results, there is an expanding array of treatment modalities geared toward calcium modification prior to stent implantation. The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions, herein, puts forth an expert consensus document regarding methods to identify types of calcified coronary lesions, a central algorithm to help guide use of the various calcium modification strategies, tips for when using each treatment modality, and a look at future studies and trials for treating this challenging lesion subset.
