Discordance in the diagnostic assessment of vulnerable plaques between radiofrequency intravascular ultrasound versus optical coherence tomography among patients with acute myocardial infarction: insights from the IBIS-4 study.

ABSTRACT: We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic agreement between radiofrequency (RF) intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) for thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) in non-infarct-related coronary arteries (non-IRA) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). In the Integrated Biomarker Imaging Study (IBIS-4), 103 STEMI patients underwent OCT and RF-IVUS imaging of non-IRA after successful primary percutaneous coronary intervention and at 13-month follow-up. A coronary lesion was defined as a segment with ≥ 3 consecutive frames (≈1.2 mm) with plaque burden ≥ 40% as assessed by grayscale IVUS. RF-IVUS-derived TCFA was defined as a lesion with > 10% confluent necrotic core abutting to the lumen in > 10% of the circumference. OCT-TCFA was defined by a minimum cap thickness < 65 μm. The two modalities were matched based on anatomical landmarks using a dedicated matching software. Using grayscale IVUS, we identified 276 lesions at baseline (N = 146) and follow-up (N = 130). Using RF-IVUS, 208 lesions (75.4%) were classified as TCFA. Among them, OCT identified 14 (6.7%) TCFA, 60 (28.8%) thick-cap fibroatheroma (ThCFA), and 134 (64.4%) non-fibroatheroma. All OCT-TCFA (n = 14) were confirmed as RF-TCFA. The concordance rate between RF-IVUS and OCT for TCFA diagnosis was 29.7%. The reasons for discordance were: OCT-ThCFA (25.8%); OCT-fibrous plaque (34.0%); attenuation due to calcium (23.2%); attenuation due to macrophage (10.3%); no significant attenuation (6.7%). There was a notable discordance in the diagnostic assessment of TCFA between RF-IVUS and OCT. The majority of RF-derived TCFA were not categorized as fibroatheroma using OCT, while all OCT-TCFA were classified as TCFA by RF-IVUS.ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT00962416.

Project description:ObjectiveVulnerable plaques with fibrous cap thickness (FCT) of ≤65 μm are prone to rupture and/or thrombosis. However, plaques with FCT > 65 μm cause acute myocardial infarction and even sudden death. We aimed to investigate the relationship between 65 < FCT ≤ 80 μm and plaque rupture and/or thrombosis using optical coherence tomography (OCT).MethodsOCT was performed on culprit lesions in 502 consecutively enrolled patients to identify FCT. Patients were classified into three groups according to FCT: Group A (FCT ≤ 65 μm, n = 147), Group B (65 < FCT ≤ 80 μm, n = 84) and Group C (FCT > 80 μm, n = 271). Clinical and laboratory data was collected from the inpatient medical record system.ResultsPlaques with thinner FCT, especially < 65 μm, were more susceptible to rupture and/or thrombosis (P < 0.001). Plaques with FCT between 65 and 80 μm had a higher probability of rupture and/or thrombosis than those with FCT > 80 μm (P < 0.001). In multivariable analysis, FCT ≤ 65 μm and 65 < FCT ≤ 80 μm were independent predictors for plaque rupture ([FCT ≤ 65 μm vs. FCT > 80 μm]: OR = 8.082, 95% CI = 4.861 to 13.435, P < 0.001; [65 < FCT ≤ 80 μm vs. FCT > 80 μm]: OR = 2.463, 95% CI = 1.370 to 4.430, P = 0.003), thrombosis ([FCT ≤ 65 μm vs. FCT > 80 μm]: OR = 25.224, 95% CI = 13.768 to 46.212, P < 0.001; [65 < FCT ≤ 80 μm vs. FCT > 80 μm]: OR = 3.675, 95% CI = 2.065 to 6.542, P < 0.001) and plaque rupture with thrombosis ([FCT ≤ 65 μm vs. FCT > 80 μm]: OR = 22.593, 95% CI = 11.426 to 44.674, P < 0.001; [65 < FCT ≤ 80 μm vs. FCT > 80 μm]: OR = 4.143, 95% CI = 1.869 to 9.184, P < 0.001).ConclusionsOCT-assessed 65 < FCT ≤ 80 μm was independently associated with increased risk of plaque rupture and/or thrombosis compared with FCT > 80 μm.
