Vascular responses to coronary calcification following implantation of newer-generation drug-eluting stents in humans: impact on healing.

ABSTRACT: AIMS:Vascular calcification is routinely encountered in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and severe coronary calcification is a known predictor of in-stent restenosis and stent thrombosis. However, the histopathologic mechanisms behind such events have not been systematically described. METHODS AND RESULTS:From our registry of 1211 stents, a total of 134 newer-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) (Xience, Resolute-Integrity, PROMUS-Element, and Synergy) with duration of implant??30?days were histologically analysed. The extent of calcification of the stented lesions was evaluated radiographically and divided into severe (SC, n?=?46) and non-severely calcified lesions (NC, n?=?88). The percent-uncovered struts per section {SC vs. NC; median 2.4 [interquartile range (IQR) 0.0-19.0] % vs. 0.0 (IQR 0.0-4.6) %, P?=?0.02} and the presence of severe medial tears (MTs) (59% vs. 44%, respectively, P?=?0.03) were greater in SC than NC. In addition, SC had a higher prevalence of ?3 consecutive struts lying directly in contact with surface calcified area (3SC) (52% vs. 8%, respectively, P?

Project description:Background Percutaneous coronary intervention of calcified lesions was associated with worse outcomes in the era of bare-metal and first-generation drug-eluting stents. Data on percutaneous coronary intervention of calcified lesions with newer-generation drug-eluting stents are scarce. Therefore, we investigated the impact of lesion calcification on clinical outcomes in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with a bioresorbable-polymer sirolimus-eluting stent or a durable-polymer everolimus-eluting stent. Methods and Results Patients (n=2361) from BIOFLOW II, IV, and V trials were categorized into moderate/severe versus none/mild lesion calcification by a core laboratory. End points were target-lesion failure (TLF) (cardiac death, target-vessel myocardial infarction, or target-lesion revascularization) and probable/definite stent thrombosis at 2 years. The agreement in calcification assessment between the operator and the core laboratory was weak (weighted κ, 0.23). Patients with moderate/severe calcification (n=303; 16%) had higher TLF (13.5% versus 8.4%; P=0.003) and stent thrombosis rates (2.1% versus 0.2%; P<0.0001), whereas target-lesion revascularization was not different between the groups (5.0% versus 3.9%; P=0.302). After adjustment, calcification did not emerge as an independent predictor of TLF (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 1.37; 95% CI, 0.89-2.08; P=0.148) but did for target-vessel myocardial infarction (aHR, 1.66; 95% CI, 1.03-2.68; P=0.037). TLF rates were similar between bioresorbable-polymer sirolimus-eluting stent and durable-polymer everolimus-eluting stent (12.6% versus 15.4%, P=0.482) in moderate/severe calcification. In none/mild calcification, the bioresorbable-polymer sirolimus-eluting stent showed lower TLF (7.5% versus 10.3%, P=0.045). Conclusions With newer-generation drug-eluting stents, moderate/severe lesion calcification was not associated with more TLF after adjustment for the higher risk of patients with coronary calcification, whereas the rate of target-vessel myocardial infarction was higher. The bioresorbable-polymer sirolimus-eluting stent and durable-polymer everolimus-eluting stent were equally effective and safe in calcified lesions.

Project description:BackgroundRecent clinical studies are testing strategies for short (1-3 months) dual antiplatelet therapy following newer-generation drug-eluting stent (DES) placement. However, detailed biological responses to newer-generation DES remain unknown in humans.AimsWe sought to evaluate early pathologic responses to abluminal biodegradable polymer-coated (BP-) DES compared with circumferential durable polymer-coated (DP-) DES in human autopsy cases.MethodsThe study included 38 coronary lesions with newer-generation DES implanted for <90 days (DP-DES=24, BP-DES=14) in 26 autopsy cases. The degree of strut coverage was defined as follows: grade 0 (bare), grade 1 (with fibrin or tissues/cells without endothelium), grade 2 (with single-layered endothelium), and grade 3 (with endothelium and underlying smooth muscle cell layers).Results The duration following implantation was similar in DP- and BP-DES (median=20 vs 17 days). A total of 2,022 struts (DP-DES=1,297, BP-DES=725) were pathologically analysed. Focal grade 2 coverage was observed as early as 5 days after the implantation in both stents. The multilevel mixed-effects ordered logistic regression model demonstrated that BP-DES exhibited greater strut coverage compared with DP-DES (odds ratio [OR]: 3.64, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.37-9.67; p=0.009), which remained significant after adjustment for the duration following implantation and underlying tissue characteristics (OR: 2.74, 95% CI: 1.10-6.80; p=0.030). The predictive probability of grade 2 and 3 coverage was comparably limited at 30 days (DP-DES=17.1%, BP-DES=28.7%) and increased at 90 days (DP-DES=76.5%, BP-DES=86.6%). Both stents showed low inflammation and a similar degree of fibrin deposition.ConclusionsSingle-layered endothelial coverage begins in the days after newer-generation DES placement, and BP-DES potentially exhibit faster strut coverage with smooth muscle cell infiltration than DP-DES in humans. Nevertheless, vessel healing remains suboptimal in both stents at 30 days.
