Intravascular Lithotripsy as a Novel Treatment Method for Calcified Unprotected Left Main Diseases-Comparison to Rotational Atherectomy-Short-Term Outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The unprotected calcified Left Main disease represents a high-risk subset for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and it is associated with a higher number of periprocedural complications and an increased rate of in-stent thrombosis and restenosis. Adequate lesion preparation plays a crucial role in achieving a favorable PCI outcome. Rotational Atherectomy (RA) is a well-established plaque-modifying method; nevertheless, the data regarding the effectiveness of RA in LM diseases is scarce. Recently, the novel ShockWave-Intravascular-Lithotripsy(S-IVL) device has been introduced to the PCI armamentarium in order to modify the calcified plaque.

Methods

We performed a retrospective evaluation of 44 consecutive subjects who underwent the LM-PCI, and who were supported by either the RA or S-IVL.

Results

The Rota group consisted of 29 patients with a mean syntax score of 28.0 ± 7.5. The S-IVL group was composed of 15 subjects with a syntax score of 23.3 ± 13.0 There were no statistical differences regarding MACE between the RA and Shockwave arms of the in-hospital group (10.3% vs. 6.7%), or in the six month (17.2% vs. 13.3%) follow-up group.

Conclusions

RA and S-IVL could be safe and effective therapeutic strategies for calcified LM disease. Further studies with a higher number of participants and longer follow-up times are warranted to establish the potential benefits of RA and S-IVL for the management of LM stenosis.

Intravascular Lithotripsy for Calcified Left Main Artery Disease.

Project description:Left main coronary artery disease subtends a large area of potentially jeopardized myocardium. Percutaneous coronary intervention for severe left main coronary artery disease is a reasonable treatment option for select patients. Severe coronary artery calcium of the left main artery increases the complexity of percutaneous coronary intervention and is associated with increased risk of periprocedural complications and worse long-term clinical outcomes. Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) utilizes sonic pressure waves to modify severe coronary artery calcium and has emerged as a safe and effective alternative to coronary atherectomy. However, left main lesions were excluded from regulatory approval clinical trials of IVL. Herein, we review all available data regarding the use of IVL treatment for severe left main coronary artery disease.

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.

Changing paradigm for treatment of heavily calcified coronary artery disease. A complementary role of rotational atherectomy and intravascular lithotripsy with shockwave balloon: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundManagement of heavily calcified coronary arteries is still a major challenge in interventional cardiology. Inadequate stent expansion in calcific lesions is the single most important predictor of stent thrombosis and in-stent restenosis. Rotational atherectomy (RA) is an important tool to modify the calcium burden but is associated with limitations and requires specific skills. Intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) is a novel technique to treat calcified stenotic lesions and has been proposed as an alternative to RA with promising results.Case summaryWe report a case of a patient with severely calcified right coronary artery stenosis successfully treated with combination of RA and IVL.DiscussionIn this case, we demonstrate that the RA and IVL are complementary strategies, not sufficient on their own and not alternative to each other.

Halfway rotational atherectomy for calcified lesions: Comparison with conventional rotational atherectomy in a propensity-score matched analysis.

Project description:BackgroundThe incidence of severe complications such as burr entrapment or perforation is considerable with rotational atherectomy (RA). Halfway RA is a novel strategy, in which an operator does not advance the burr to the end of a continuous calcified lesion, and performs balloon dilatation to treat the remaining part of the calcified lesion. The purpose of this study was to compare complications after halfway and conventional RA.MethodsWe included 307 consecutive lesions that were divided into a conventional RA group (n = 244) and halfway RA group (n = 63). In analysis 1, the incidence of complications was compared between the conventional RA and halfway RA groups. Propensity-score matching was used to match the intentional halfway RA and conventional RA. In analysis 2, the incidence of complications was compared between the matched conventional RA and intentional halfway RA groups.ResultsBurr entrapment (0.4%) and major perforation (0.8%) were observed in the conventional RA group, whereas there was no burr entrapment or perforation in the halfway RA group. The success rate of halfway RA was 90.5%, which required switching from halfway RA to conventional RA. The incidences of slow flow and periprocedural myocardial infarction with slow flow were similar between the intentional halfway RA and matched conventional RA groups.ConclusionsThere was no burr entrapment or vessel perforation following halfway RA. The incidences of slow flow and periprocedural myocardial infarction were similar between the intentional halfway RA and the matched conventional RA, indicating the safety of halfway RA.

First case report of fully robotically assisted lithotripsy in heavily calcified left main stenosis.

Project description:BackgroundPercutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the standard-of-care treatment for left main stenosis as an alternative to bypass surgery. In addition, severe coronary lesion calcification can be modified by intravascular lithotripsy (IVL). However, with PCI and debulking treatment options, there are inherent limitations. PCI poses an increased health burden for the treating physician that is associated with wearing a heavy, lead-lined apron and being exposed to radiation. To overcome these issues, a robotically assisted angioplasty system (rPCI) was established that enables the operator to perform PCI remotely in routine clinical procedures. Furthermore, IVL have not been used remotely.Case summaryHere, we report the use of this technique for treating a heavily calcified left main stenosis in an 82-year-old male with previously diagnosed two-vessel coronary artery disease, progressive symptoms of dyspnoea at high cardio-vascular risk profile. The decision of the local heart team declined surgery. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of successful rPCI combined with IVL.DiscussionIn the case presented, rPCI was feasible and safe even in a complex lesion of the left main coronary artery requiring IVL. rPCI is a revolutionary new technique that may be applied to various types of coronary artery lesions.

Can Most Calcified Coronary Stenosis Be Optimized With Coronary Intravascular Lithotripsy?

Project description:Intravascular lithotripsy can be used as an effective therapy for lesion preparation in severely calcified lesions. The mechanism, as shown by optical coherence tomography, is calcium fractures. The aforementioned modification is performed with minimal risk of perforation, no-reflow and a low incidence of flow-limiting dissection and myocardial infarctions. Other techniques, such as cutting or scoring balloons and rotational atherectomy have also been shown to increase luminal diameter, but other complications, such as distal embolization, induced by these treatment modalities, are a source of concern. This review describes a single-center study of all-comer patients, including those with complex characteristics. This therapy is very effective, with a very low risk of complications. In this article, we characterize the mechanism of action of the intravascular lithotripsy catheter, its optical coherence tomography validation, clinical applications, and comparison with other calcium-modifying technologies, as well as future directions, which can be used to improve the technology.

Clinical Outcome of Rotational Atherectomy in Calcified Lesions in Korea-ROCK Registry.

Project description:Background and Objectives: Data is still limited regarding clinical outcomes of rotational atherectomy (RA) after percutaneous coronary intervention. We sought to evaluate clinical outcomes of RA. Materials and Methods: This multi-center registry enrolled patients who underwent RA during PCI from nine tertiary centers in Korea between January 2010 and October 2019. The primary endpoint was target-vessel failure (TVF; the composite outcome of cardiac death, target-vessel spontaneous myocardial infarction, or target-vessel revascularization). Results: Of 540 patients (583 lesions), the mean patient age was 71.4 ± 0.4 years, 323 patients (59.8%) were men, and 305 patients (56.5%) had diabetes mellitus. Technical success rate was 96.4%. In-hospital major adverse cerebral and cardiac events occurred in 63 cases (10.8%). At 1.5 years, 72 (16.0%) of TVFs were occurred. We evaluated independent predictors of TVF, which included current smoker (hazard ratio (HR), 1.92; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.17-3.16; p = 0.01), chronic renal disease (HR, 1.87; 95% CI, 1.14-3.08; p = 0.013), history of cerebrovascular attack (HR, 2.14; 95% CI, 1.24-3.68; p = 0.006), left ventricle ejection fraction (HR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.97-0.999; p = 0.037), and left main disease (HR, 1.94; 95% CI, 1.11-3.37; p = 0.019). Conclusions: From this registry, we demonstrated acceptable success rates, in-hospital and mid-term clinical outcomes of RA in the DES era.
