Intraoperative graft assessment and imaging of native coronary arteries.

ABSTRACT: The evaluation of native coronary arteries in cardiac surgery represents a useful tool to detect coronary artery stenosis, identify the target artery, and choose the best anastomotic site. Intraoperative graft assessment is a fundamental step of coronary artery bypass grafting. It is able to reduce graft failure related to technical error, improving both short- and long-term outcome of patients submitted to surgical myocardial revascularization. Herein procedures of graft assessment are described, reporting their strengths and limitations.

Assessment of Anomalous Coronary Arteries by Imagers and Surgeons: Comparison of Imaging Modalities.

Project description:BackgroundAnomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (AAOCA) is associated with sudden cardiac death. High-risk characteristics are most commonly assessed using a 2-dimensional (2D) echocardiogram (echo) or cardiac computed tomography (CT). We hypothesize that these characteristics will be more accurately assessed when they are presented in the form of a 3D digital model.MethodsFourteen participants, including cardiothoracic surgeons and cardiac imaging specialists, assessed image representations, including echo, CT images, and a 3D digital model, from 6 patients who had undergone AAOCA repair. Accuracy of assessment was evaluated by comparing responses with operative findings (the gold standard).ResultsThe reported type of AAOCA was most accurately assessed on CT (100%) and 3D models (92.31%) compared with echo (80.77%). The accuracy of the AAOCA course was highest on CT (91.03%), followed by the 3D model (80.77%), and lowest on echo (61.54%). The accuracy of intramurality was low across all imaging modalities (17.95% echo, 29.49% CT, and 21.79% 3D model). Accurate assessment of a separate AAOCA ostium was highest on 3D models (97.40%). Ostial stenosis was more accurately assessed on 3D models (56.41%). When accuracy was separated by subspecialty, CT and 3D models were more accurately assessed by all participants regardless of training.ConclusionsCardiac imagers and congenital cardiothoracic surgeons most accurately assessed AAOCA presence, type, and course on cardiac CT and 3D models. 3D models were superior in representation of ostial characteristics. CT and 3D models are overall more accurately assessed by specialists regardless of training.

Non-invasive imaging of the coronary arteries.

Project description:Non-invasive imaging of the coronary arteries is an enterprise in rapid development. From the research perspective, there is great demand for in vivo techniques that can reliably identify features of high-risk plaque that may offer insight into pathophysiological processes and act as surrogate indicators of response to therapeutic intervention. Meanwhile, there is clear clinical need for greater accuracy in diagnosis and prognostic stratification. Fortunately, ongoing technological improvements and emerging data from randomized clinical trials are helping make these elusive goals a reality. This review provides an update on the current status of non-invasive coronary imaging with computed tomography, magnetic resonance, and positron emission tomography with a focus on current clinical applications and future research directions.

Spontaneous and procedural plaque embolisation in native coronary arteries: pathophysiology, diagnosis, and prevention.

Project description:The detachment of atherothrombotic material from the atherosclerotic coronary plaque and downstream embolisation is an underrecognized phenomenon and it causes different degrees of impairment of the coronary microcirculation. During treatment of obstructive atherosclerotic plaque by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) distal embolisation (DE) is considered to be inevitable and it is associated with potential clinical and prognostic implications. This review aims to assess the main aspects of both spontaneous and procedural DE, analyze their different pathophysiology, provide specific insights on the main diagnostic tools for their identification, and finally focus on the main strategies for their treatment and prevention.

Transthoracic echocardiographic imaging of coronary arteries: tips, traps, and pitfalls.

Project description:The aim of this paper is to highlight coronary investigation by transthoracic Doppler evaluation. This application has recently been introduced into clinical practice and has received enthusiastic feedback in terms of coronary flow reserve evaluation on left anterior coronary artery disease diagnosis. Such diagnosis represents the most important clinical application but has in itself some limitations regarding anatomical and technological knowledge. The purpose of this paper is to offer a didactic approach on how to investigate the different segments of left anterior and posterior descending coronary arteries by transthoracic ultrasound using different anatomical key structures as markers. We will conclude by underlining that, nowadays, innovative technology allows complete evaluation of both major coronary arteries in many patients in a resting condition as well as during pharmacology stress-tests, but we often do not know it.

Multi-slice CT coronary angiography versus invasive coronary angiography in the assessment of graft patency after coronary artery bypasses graft surgery.

Project description:BackgroundThe long-term patency of arterial and venous grafts is crucial for the success of CABG. This study was designed to investigate graft patency using 128-slice coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and compared the results with those obtained using invasive coronary angiography (ICA). In this observational cross-sectional study, we included 40 symptomatic post-CABG patients underwent CCTA and ICA within the same month.ResultsFifty-five percent were aged more than 60 years, and 80% were males. 67.5% had diabetes, 90% had hypertension, and 30% were smokers. Mean body mass index was 28.89 ± 5.17 kg/m2. Mean duration since CABG was 5.25 ± 4.04 years. In total, 124 native vessels and 97 grafts were assessed using CCTA and ICA. CCTA delineated 8 non-cannulated venous grafts and 6 non-cannulated left internal mammary artery grafts. CCTA required a significantly lower radiation dose (1165.77 ± 123.54 vs. 47,589.78 ± 6967.53, p < 0.001).ConclusionCCTA can be as accurate as ICA in assessing bypass grafts with less radiation dose, providing a non-invasive reliable tool for evaluation.

Acute coronary syndrome due to native coronary occlusion proximal to a patent bypass graft: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundPrimary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute coronary syndrome has significantly contributed to improvements in overall outcomes. However, clinical challenges exist when performing urgent PCI for patients with a history of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).Case summaryAn 83-year-old man with a history of CABG presented with an inferior ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Emergent coronary angiography showed an occlusion of the right coronary artery that had been previously grafted with the right gastroepiploic artery. Primary PCI for the native coronary artery was performed on the assumption that the bypass graft had been occluded. We were unable to attain angiographic antegrade flow after balloon angioplasty, and intravascular ultrasound revealed a ruptured plaque with a thrombus proximally and a patent bypass graft with complete recanalization distally. These findings suggested that the plaque rupture with resultant thrombus formation proximal to the anastomosis eventually overlay the patent bypass graft. Subsequent stent implantation covering only the culprit site with a residual stenosis proximal to the anastomosis was performed, resulting in good patency of both the native coronary artery and bypass graft for more than 3 years.DiscussionThis is the first documented case of a patient with STEMI due to proximal native coronary artery occlusion with a thrombus overlying a patent bypass graft. Intravascular ultrasound was helpful to recognize the distal patency and guide optimal stent implantation. This case illustrates the complexity of treating a patient with a history of CABG and the importance of a multifaceted approach in such an urgent situation.

Imaging of all three coronary arteries by transthoracic echocardiography. An illustrated guide.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Improvements in ultrasound technology has enabled direct, transthoracic visualization of long portions of coronary arteries : the left anterior descending (LAD), circumflex (Cx) and right coronary artery (RCA). Transthoracic measurements of coronary flow velocity were proved to be highly reproducible and correlated with invasive measurements. While clinical applications of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) of principal coronary arteries are still very limited they will likely grow. The echocardiographers may therefore be interested to know the ultrasonic views, technique of examination and be aware where to look for coronary arteries and how to optimize the images. METHODS: A step-by-step approach to direct, transthoracic visualization of the LAD, Cx and RCA is presented. The technique of examination is discussed, correlations with basic coronary angiography views and heart anatomy are shown and extensively illustrated with photographs and movie-pictures. Hints concerning optimization of ultrasound images are presented and artifacts of imaging are discussed. CONCLUSIONS: Direct, transthoracic examination of the LAD, Cx and RCA in adults is possible and may become a useful adjunct to other methods of coronary artery examination but studies are needed to establish its role.

Functional Recovery of a Failed Radial Artery Graft After Progression of Native Coronary Stenosis.

Project description:Competitive flow from the native vessel can lead to coronary graft failure. However, restoration of graft patency can occasionally occur. We present the case of subtotal occlusion of a radial artery graft bypassing a lesion with moderate stenosis, with subsequent late functional recovery once the native vessel disease had progressed. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Combined with Conventional Intravascular Ultrasound for Enhanced Assessment of Atherosclerotic Plaques: an Ex Vivo Study in Human Coronary Arteries.

Project description:This study evaluates the ability of label-free fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIm) to complement intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) for concurrent visualization of human coronary vessel composition, structure, and pathology. Co-registered FLIm and IVUS data from 16 coronary segments were correlated to eight distinct pathological features including thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA). The sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value for combined FLIm-IVUS (89, 99, 89 %) were better than FLIm (70, 98, 88 %) and IVUS (45, 94, 62 %) alone in distinguishing between pathologies. FLIm can assess compositional changes in luminal surface through variations in fluorescence lifetime values (<3.5 ns for lipid-rich areas; >4 ns for collagen-rich areas) enabling detection of macrophages in fibrous caps (sensitivity, 86 %) and distinguishing between relatively stable thick-cap fibroatheromas and rupture-prone TCFA (sensitivity, 80 %) amongst other features. Current results demonstrate the potential of FLIm-IVUS as a new intravascular method for improved evaluation of plaques that may subsequently aid in guiding coronary intervention.
