Successful expansion of an underexpanded stent by rotational atherectomy.

ABSTRACT: The current routine use of intracoronary stents in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has significantly reduced rates of restenosis, compared with balloon angioplasty alone. On the contrary, small post-stenting luminal dimensions due to undilatable, heavily calcified plaques have repeatedly been shown to significantly increase the rates of in-stent restenosis. Rotational atherectomy of lesions is an alternative method to facilitate PCI and prevent underexpansion of stents, when balloon angioplasty fails to successfully dilate a lesion. Stentablation, using rotational atherectomy to expand underexpanded stents deployed in heavily calcified plaques, has also been reported. We report a case via the transradial approach of rotational-atherectomy-facilitated PCI of in-stent restenosis of a severely underexpanded stent due to a heavily calcified plaque. We review the literature and suggest rotational atherectomy may have a role in treating a refractory, severely underexpanded stent caused by a heavily calcified plaque through various proposed mechanisms.

Successful treatment of unexpected complication during aortic stent-grafting: retrieval of broken stent-graft tip by coaxial technique.

Project description:Thoracic aortic endovascular repair (TEVAR) is increasingly preferred as a treatment of choice in thoracic aortic diseases. Intravascular foreign body is one of the TEVAR-related complications similar to the other endovascular operations. Here, to the our best knowledge for the first time in the English literature, this report presents an extremely rare complication of a broken and stuck tip part of aortic stent-graft in the intravascular space and successful removal by using the coaxial technique. Thoracic aortic endovascular repair (TEVAR) has been increasingly preferred as the treatment of choice in thoracic aortic diseases (1). Endovascular treatment has been gaining popularity compared with open surgery due to its less invasive approach and rapid application, and allows the patient to easily return to daily life (2). However, TEVAR is associated with several specific complications including paraplegia, stroke, vascular injuries and local complications. These complications depend on vascular or nonvascular comorbidities, vascular anatomy, equipment, and experience of the provider (3-6). Intravascular foreign body could be among TEVAR-related complications similar to other endovascular operations (7). Several types of equipment, including guidewire, vascular sheath, or suboptimally uncoiled stents may get stuck in the intravascular space, causing complications (8). Herein, to the best of our knowledge, we present the first report in the English literature of broken and stuck tip part of an aortic stent-graft in the intravascular space and its successful removal using the coaxial technique.

Successful Implantation of a Coronary Stent Graft in a Peripheral Vessel.

Project description:Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a complex, often underdiagnosed illness with rising prevalence in western world countries. During the past decade there has been a rapid advance especially in the field of endovascular treatment of PAD. Here we present for the first time a case reporting on the placement of coronary stent graft in a peripheral vessel for the management of a peripheral side branch perforation. Interventional angiologists or radiologists may consider such an option for complication management after injury of smaller vessels during peripheral percutaneous interventions. Further specialization and novel options of complication management as described in our case may shift the treatment from surgical to even more endovascular treatment procedures in the future.

Vascular Response to Experimental Stent Malapposition and Under-Expansion.

Project description:Up to 80% of all endovascular stents have malapposed struts, and while some impose catastrophic events others are inconsequential. Thirteen stents were implanted in coronary arteries of seven healthy Yorkshire pigs, using specially-designed cuffed balloons inducing controlled stent malapposition and under-expansion. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging confirmed that 25% of struts were malapposed (strut-wall distance <strut thickness) to variable extent (max. strut-wall distance malapposed group 0.51 ± 0.05 mm vs. apposed group 0.09 ± 0.05 mm, p = 2e-3). Imaging at follow-up revealed malapposition acutely resolved (<1% of struts remained malapposed at day 5), with strong correlation between lumen and the stent cross-sectional areas (slope = 0.86, p < 0.0001, R (2) = 0.94). OCT in three of the most significantly malapposed vessels at baseline showed high correlation of elastic lamina area and lumen area (R (2) = 0.96) suggesting all lumen loss was related to contraction of elastic lamina with negligible plaque/intimal hyperplasia growth. Simulation showed this vascular recoil could be partially explained by the non-uniform strain environment created from sub-optimal expansion of device and balloon, and the inability of stent support in the malapposed region to resist recoil. Malapposition as a result of stent under-expansion is resolved acutely in healthy normal arteries, suggesting existing animal models are limited in replicating clinically observed persistent stent malapposition.

Very late stent expansion with intracoronary lithotripsy: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundUnderexpanded stent in heavily calcified coronary lesion is common and persists over years. It is related to long-term failure and negative outcomes. Treatment of this situation after many years with intracoronary lithotripsy (ICL-Shockwave®) could be an option.Case summaryWe report a case of a man with underexpanded coronary stent implanted 11 years earlier. Optical coherence tomography highlighted the mechanism of stent underexpansion showing the presence of calcium stones under the old struts. Intracoronary lithotripsy crushed calcium under the stent struts causing its geometric change (from elliptical to round shape) and a consequent better transmission of the true radial force of the old stent.DiscussionHeavily calcified coronary lesions lead to stent underexpansion which persists over years. Intracoronary lithotripsy could be a very late option to manage this unfavourable common result.

Failure of drug-coated balloon angioplasty to treat bare metal in-stent restenosis accompanied by late stent thrombosis but successful treatment of binary in-stent restenosis.

Project description:Drug-coated balloons (DCB) are effective in treating in-stent restenosis (ISR) with neointimal proliferation after bare-metal stent (BMS) implantation, but it is unclear whether DCB are effective in treating BMS-ISR accompanied by thrombosis. An 84-year-old man with previous inferior myocardial infarction and atrial fibrillation developed acute myocardial infarction (AMI) during hospitalization for intracerebral hemorrhage. Emergent coronary angiography (CAG) revealed severe stenosis of the distal left circumflex coronary artery. We implanted a BMS to avoid long-term triple antithrombotic therapy. He received aspirin, clopidogrel, and rivaroxaban for 1 month and then received clopidogrel and rivaroxaban. Seventy days after BMS implantation, he developed AMI, and emergent CAG revealed occlusion of the BMS due to late stent thrombosis. After thrombus aspiration, intravascular ultrasound showed incomplete neointimal healing in the proximal portion of the stent and excessive neointimal proliferation in the distal portion of the stent. DCB angioplasty of the entire BMS was performed after scoring balloon pre-dilation. Seven months after BMS implantation, follow-up CAG revealed binary ISR. DCB angioplasty of the entire BMS was performed again after scoring balloon pre-dilation. Thirteen months after BMS implantation, follow-up CAG did not reveal recurrence of ISR. <Learning objective: Drug-coated balloons (DCB) were ineffective when there was excessive neointimal proliferation accompanied by thrombosis, but effective in binary in-stent restenosis (ISR). DCB may be ineffective in early ISR after bare-metal stent implantations and when there is excessive neointimal proliferation accompanied by thrombosis. Since the safety and efficacy of DCB to treat excessive neointimal proliferation occurring with late stent thrombosis is unclear, further studies are needed.>.

A case report of successful stent implantation through a fractured stent-strut in a superficial femoral artery based on bench testing simulation.

Project description:BackgroundStent implantation through the stent-strut of a previously implanted self-expandable stent in the superficial femoral artery (SFA) is not usually performed because the additional stent cannot dilate sufficiently. The key point to achieve sufficient expansion of an additional stent is to break the stent-strut of the previously implanted stent. However, there is no report of how to break the stent-strut.Case summaryA 72-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with acute rest pain and coldness of his left leg; he was diagnosed with acute limb ischaemia. The angiogram demonstrated a fractured stent as well as stent occlusion in the left distal SFA. The guidewire could pass only through the stent-strut because of stent fracture. Fortunately, balloon angioplasty through the stent-strut and thrombolysis achieved successful revascularization. Thereafter, an additional stent was implanted in an attempt to manage the fractured and deformed stent. To obtain sufficient expansion of the additional stent, an experimental study to examine the balloon diameter and pressure to break the stent-strut was performed. Based on the results of the experiment, the stent-strut was successfully broken, and the additional stent was expanded through the stent-strut on the second intervention.DiscussionIf an additional self-expandable stent is deployed through the stent-strut directly, it would not be sufficiently dilated. The key point in such a case is to break the stent-strut of the previously implanted stent by balloon inflation before deployment of the additional stent. The experimental study examined the balloon diameter and pressure that can break the stent-strut. This information would be useful when we implant an additional stent through a stent-strut.

Simulation-Driven Machine Learning for Predicting Stent Expansion in Calcified Coronary Artery.

Project description:In this work, we integrated finite element (FE) method and machine learning (ML) method to predict the stent expansion in a calcified coronary artery. The stenting procedure was captured in a patient-specific artery model, reconstructed based on optical coherence tomography images. Following FE simulation, eight geometrical features in each of 120 cross sections in the pre-stenting artery model, as well as the corresponding post-stenting lumen area, were extracted for training and testing the ML models. A linear regression model and a support vector regression (SVR) model with three different kernels (linear, polynomial, and radial basis function kernels) were adopted in this work. Two subgroups of the eight features, i.e., stretch features and calcification features, were further assessed for the prediction capacity. The influence of the neighboring cross sections on the prediction accuracy was also investigated by averaging each feature over eight neighboring cross sections. Results showed that the SVR models provided better predictions than the linear regression model in terms of bias. In addition, the inclusion of stretch features based on mechanistic understanding could provide a better prediction, compared with the calcification features only. However, there were no statistically significant differences between neighboring cross sections and individual ones in terms of the prediction bias and range of error. The simulation-driven machine learning framework in this work could enhance the mechanistic understanding of stenting in calcified coronary artery lesions, and also pave the way toward precise prediction of stent expansion.

StentBoost Visualization for the Evaluation of Coronary Stent Expansion During Percutaneous Coronary Interventions.

Project description:IntroductionInadequate stent implantation is associated with stent thrombosis and restenosis. StentBoost can enhance stent visualization and evaluate stent expansion. Currently, there are limited comparison studies between StentBoost and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). We aimed to test the correlation and agreement between IVUS and StentBoost measurements.MethodsFrom December 2010 to December 2011, 38 patients (54 stents) were analyzed using IVUS and StentBoost. Minimal stent diameter and proximal and distal edge stent diameter were compared between imaging techniques using Pearson correlation and Bland-Altman scatter plot.ResultsThere was good correlation between StentBoost and IVUS measurements regarding minimal stent diameter (p < 0.001 in all stent portions) and an optimal agreement between IVUS and StentBoost, while lesser agreement was found between IVUS and quantitative coronary angiography.ConclusionThe assessment of stent implantation using StentBoost showed an adequate correlation and agreement with IVUS. This easily applicable angiographic technique can be used to guide stent implantation.
