A case with a large intracoronary mobile mass diagnosed with a calcified thrombus using optical frequency domain imaging and intravascular ultrasound.

ABSTRACT: A calcified thrombus is rare, but needs to be recognized and to be differentiated from calcified nodule.We report a case of acute coronary syndrome and a large intracoronary mobile mass, which was identified as a calcified thrombus by optical frequency domain imaging and intravascular ultrasound.Successful direct stenting indicated that mobile mass was a calcified thrombus, not a calcified nodule.Cardiologists should be aware that an intracoronary mobile mass could be a calcified thrombus. This diagnosis can be confirmed through the combined use of optical frequency domain imaging and intravascular ultrasound.

Mobile thrombus originating from densely calcified mitral annulus with cerebral embolism.

Project description:Mitral annular calcification (MAC) has been considered a predisposition and an association of thrombo-embolic disease. Superimposed thrombus on MAC is under-appreciated as a potential cause of systemic thrombo-embolism. This report describes an elderly gentleman, who had recurrent cerebral embolism and in one of the episodes, a large mobile thrombus was detected on the ventricular surface of calcified mitral annulus. The thrombus disappeared after initiation of anti-coagulation.

Percutaneous thrombectomy of mural aortic thrombus using intravascular ultrasound guidance.

Project description:Mural aortic thrombus is a challenging clinical problem with significant potential complications. Particularly precarious are situations with involvement of the visceral segment of the aorta. We describe a technique for percutaneous thrombectomy of mural aortic thrombus using intravascular ultrasound to guide an angled mechanical thrombectomy catheter in conjunction with a continuous aspiration system (Indigo mechanical thrombectomy system; Penumbra, Alameda, Calif). Use of this technique in three patients with challenging cases of mural aortic thrombus is discussed. All patients were treated successfully and without complication using this technique.

Intravascular ultrasound-guided shockwave treatment of stents overlapping underexpansion of calcified left anterior descending artery.

Project description:Heavily calcified lesions may limit optimal stent deployment resulting in stent underexpansion, thus increasing the risk of restenosis and thrombosis. We describe the case of overlapping stents underexpansion treated with a shockwave intravasuclar lithoplasty system (Shockwave Medical Inc., Santa Clara, CA, USA). A 65-year-old man with angina, underwent coronary angiography and intravascular ultrasound showing restenosis, in a site of overlapping stents, due to calcified tissue. Shockwave lithoplasty balloon was able to break calcified tissue in a site of overlapping stents, allowing subsequent vessel dilation and repeat stent implantation with optimal final stent expansion. <Learning objective> Heavily calcified lesions may limit optimal stent deployment resulting in stent underexpansion. Treating stent underexpansion or restenosis due to calcified tissue is a great challenge. Shockwave lithoplasty is effective in breaking calcified tissue also in a site of overlapping stents. The improved plaque compliance allows to repeat stent implantation with optimal final stent expansion.

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.

Optical frequency domain imaging vs. intravascular ultrasound in percutaneous coronary intervention (OPINION trial): one-year angiographic and clinical results.

Project description:AimsOptical frequency domain imaging (OFDI) is a recently developed, light-based, high-resolution intravascular imaging technique. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is a widely used, conventional imaging technique for guiding percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). We aimed to demonstrate the non-inferiority of OFDI-guided PCI compared with IVUS-guided PCI in terms of clinical outcomes.Methods and resultsWe did a prospective, multicentre, randomized (ratio 1:1), active-controlled, non-inferiority study to compare head-to-head OFDI vs. IVUS in patients undergoing PCI with a second generation drug-eluting stent. The primary endpoint was target vessel failure defined as a composite of cardiac death, target-vessel related myocardial infarction, and ischaemia-driven target vessel revascularization until 12 months after the PCI. The major secondary endpoint was angiographic binary restenosis at 8 months. We randomly allocated 829 patients to receive OFDI-guided PCI (n = 414) or IVUS-guided PCI (n = 415). Target vessel failure occurred in 21 (5.2%) of 401 patients undergoing OFDI-guided PCI, and 19 (4.9%) of 390 patients undergoing IVUS-guided PCI, demonstrating non-inferiority of OFDI-guided PCI to IVUS-guided PCI (hazard ratio 1.07, upper limit of one-sided 95% confidence interval 1.80; Pnon-inferiority = 0.042). With 89.8% angiographic follow-up, the rate of binary restenosis was comparable between OFDI-guided PCI and IVUS-guided PCI (in-stent: 1.6% vs. 1.6%, P = 1.00; and in-segment: 6.2% vs. 6.0%, P = 1.00).ConclusionThe 12-month clinical outcome in patients undergoing OFDI-guided PCI was non-inferior to that of patients undergoing IVUS-guided PCI. Both OFDI-guided and IVUS-guided PCI yielded excellent angiographic and clinical results, with very low rates of 8-month angiographic binary restenosis and 12-month target vessel failure.Clinical registrationClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01873027.

Comparison of visual assessment and computer image analysis of intracoronary thrombus type by optical coherence tomography.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Analysis of intracoronary thrombus type by optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging is highly subjective. We aimed to compare a newly developed image analysis method to subjective visual classification of thrombus type identified by OCT. METHODS:Thirty patients with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction were included. Thrombus type visually classified by two independent readers was compared with analysis using QCU-CMS software. RESULTS:Repeatability of the computer-based measurements was good. By using a ROC, area under curve values for discrimination of white and red thrombi were 0.92 (95% confidence intervals (CI) 0.83-1.00) for median attenuation, 0.96 (95% CI 0.89-1.00) for mean backscatter and 0.96 (95% CI 0.89-1.00) for mean grayscale intensity. Median attenuation of 0.57 mm-1 (sensitivity 100%, specificity 71%), mean backscatter of 5.35 (sensitivity 92%, specificity 94%) and mean grayscale intensity of 120.1 (sensitivity 85%, specificity 100%) were identified as the best cut-off values to differentiate between red and white thrombi. CONCLUSIONS:Attenuation, backscatter and grayscale intensity of thrombi in OCT images differentiated red and white thrombi with high sensitivity and specificity. Measurement of these continuous parameters can be used as a less user-dependent method to characterize in vivo thrombi. The clinical significance of these findings needs to be tested in further studies.

Prediction of stent under-expansion in calcified coronary arteries using machine learning on intravascular optical coherence tomography images.

Project description:It can be difficult/impossible to fully expand a coronary artery stent in a heavily calcified coronary artery lesion. Under-expanded stents are linked to later complications. Here we used machine/deep learning to analyze calcifications in pre-stent intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) images and predicted the success of vessel expansion. Pre- and post-stent IVOCT image data were obtained from 110 coronary lesions. Lumen and calcifications in pre-stent images were segmented using deep learning, and lesion features were extracted. We analyzed stent expansion along the lesion, enabling frame, segmental, and whole-lesion analyses. We trained regression models to predict the post-stent lumen area and then computed the stent expansion index (SEI). Best performance (root-mean-square-error = 0.04 ± 0.02 mm2, r = 0.94 ± 0.04, p < 0.0001) was achieved when we used features from both lumen and calcification to train a Gaussian regression model for segmental analysis of 31 frames in length. Stents with minimum SEI > 80% were classified as "well-expanded;" others were "under-expanded." Under-expansion classification results (e.g., AUC = 0.85 ± 0.02) were significantly improved over a previous, simple calculation, as well as other machine learning solutions. Promising results suggest that such methods can identify lesions at risk of under-expansion that would be candidates for intervention lesion preparation (e.g., atherectomy).
