Atherectomy coronary. Medical search

Percutaneous transluminal procedure for removing atheromatous plaque from the coronary arteries. Both directional (for removing focal atheromas) and rotational (for removing concentric atheromatous plaque) atherectomy devices have been used.

Endovascular procedure in which atheromatous plaque is excised by a cutting or rotating catheter. It differs from balloon and laser angioplasty procedures which enlarge vessels by dilation but frequently do not remove much plaque. If the plaque is removed by surgical excision under general anesthesia rather than by an endovascular procedure through a catheter, it is called ENDARTERECTOMY.

This includes laser thermal angioplasty where the laser energy heats up a metal tip, and direct laser angioplasty where the laser energy directly ablates the occlusion. One form of the latter approach uses an EXCIMER LASER which creates microscopically precise cuts without thermal injury. When laser angioplasty is performed in combination with balloon angioplasty it is called laser-assisted balloon angioplasty (ANGIOPLASTY, BALLOON, LASER-ASSISTED).

The relationship between periprocedural myocardial infarction and subsequent target vessel revascularization following percutaneous coronary revascularization: insights from the EPIC trial. Evaluation of IIb/IIIa platelet receptor antagonist 7E3 in Preventing Ischemic Complications. (1/228)

OBJECTIVES: We sought to determine whether periprocedural myocardial infarction complicating percutaneous coronary revascularization is associated with subsequent clinical restenosis, as judged by the need for target vessel revascularization. BACKGROUND: Although myocardial enzyme elevation following angioplasty is associated with increased late mortality, its effect on subsequent clinical restenosis, as assessed by the need for late target vessel revascularization (TVR), is unknown. METHODS: Serial myocardial enzyme determinations were performed on 2,099 patients who underwent angioplasty or atherectomy in the Evaluation of IIb/IIIa platelet receptor antagonist 7E3 in Preventing Ischemic Complications (EPIC) trial. Thirty-day survivors were prospectively followed for three years for adverse clinical events including death and need for TVR. RESULTS: Within the study population, periprocedural creatine kinase (CK) elevation was a predictor of late mortality. Among patients with elevated CK, however, a paradoxical decrease in the need for late TVR was present. This relationship became progressively more profound as the magnitude of CK release increased. Late TVR occurred in 29.8% of patients with no CK elevation, 24.8% with CK elevation to >3 times normal, and 16.9% with >10 times elevation (hazard ratio 0.51, 95% CI 0.29, 0.91). CONCLUSIONS: In the EPIC study, patients with periprocedural MI were less likely to develop clinical restenosis as measured by the need for TVR. Mechanistically, although it is unlikely that CK elevation prevents vascular renarrowing per se, myocardial necrosis impairs the clinical manifestation of restenosis, thereby reducing the need for ischemia-driven TVR. This novel finding 1) highlights the potential discordance between angiographic and clinical measures of restenosis, and 2) has implications for clinical trials, as therapies that reduce periprocedural MI may be associated with a perceived excess of restenosis when measured by the need for TVR.

Influence of a platelet GPIIb/IIIa receptor antagonist on myocardial hypoperfusion during rotational atherectomy as assessed by myocardial Tc-99m sestamibi scintigraphy. (2/228)

OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the effect of the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GPIIb/IIIa) antagonist abciximab on myocardial hypoperfusion during percutaneous transluminal rotational atherectomy (PTRA). BACKGROUND: PTRA may cause transient ischemia and periprocedural myocardial injury. A platelet-dependent risk of non-Q-wave infarctions after directional atherectomy has been described. The role of platelets for the incidence and severity of myocardial hypoperfusion during PTRA is unknown. METHODS: Seventy-five consecutive patients with complex lesions were studied using resting Tc-99m sestamibi single-photon emission computed tomography prior to PTRA, during, and 2 days after the procedure. The last 30 patients received periprocedural abciximab (group A) and their results were compared to the remaining 45 patients (group B). For semiquantitative analysis, myocardial perfusion in 24 left ventricular regions was expressed as percentage of maximal sestamibi uptake. RESULTS: Baseline characteristics did not differ between the groups. Transient perfusion defects were observed in 39/45 (87%) patients of group B, but only in 10/30 (33%) patients of group A (p < 0.001). Perfusion was significantly reduced during PTRA in 3.3 +/- 2.5 regions in group B compared to 1.4 +/- 2.5 regions in group A (p < 0.01). Perfusion in the region with maximal reduction during PTRA in groups B and A was 76 +/- 15% and 76 +/- 15% at baseline, decreased to 56 +/- 16% (p < 0.001) and 67 +/- 14%, respectively, during PTRA (p < 0.01 A vs. B), and returned to 76 +/- 15% and 80 +/- 13%, respectively, after PTRA. Nine patients in group B (20%) and two patients in group A (7%) had mild creatine kinase and/or troponin t elevations (p = 0.18). Patients with elevated enzymes had larger perfusion defects than did patients without myocardial injury (4.2 +/- 2.7 vs. 2.3 +/- 2.5 regions, p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: These data indicate that GPIIb/IIIa blockade reduces incidence, extent and severity of transient hypoperfusion during PTRA. Thus, platelet aggregation may play an important role for PTRA-induced hypoperfusion. (+info)

Mechanisms of acute lumen gain and recurrent restenosis after rotational atherectomy of diffuse in-stent restenosis: a quantitative angiographic and intravascular ultrasound study. (3/228)

OBJECTIVES: This quantitative angiographic and intravascular ultrasound study determined the mechanisms of acute lumen enlargement and recurrent restenosis after rotational atherectomy (RA) with adjunct percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty in the treatment of diffuse in-stent restenosis (ISR). BACKGROUND: In-stent restenosis remains a significant clinical problem for which optimal treatment is under debate. Rotational atherectomy has become an alternative therapeutic approach for the treatment of diffuse ISR based on the concept of "tissue-debulking." METHODS: Rotational atherectomy with adjunct angioplasty of ISR was used in 45 patients with diffuse lesions. Quantitative coronary angiographic (QCA) analysis and sequential intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) measurements were performed in all patients. Forty patients (89%) underwent angiographic six-month follow-up. RESULTS: Rotational atherectomy lead to a decrease in maximal area of stenosis from 80+/-32% before intervention to 54+/-21% after RA (p < 0.0001) as a result of a significant decrease in intimal hyperplasia cross-sectional area (CSA). The minimal lumen diameter after RA remained 15+/-4% smaller than the burr diameter used, indicating acute neointimal recoil. Additional angioplasty led to a further decrease in area of stenosis to 38+/-12% due to a significant increase in stent CSA. At six-month angiographic follow-up, recurrent restenosis rate was 45%. Lesion and stent length, preinterventional diameter stenosis and amount of acute neointimal recoil were associated with a higher rate of recurrent restenosis. CONCLUSIONS: Rotational atherectomy of ISR leads to acute lumen gain by effective plaque removal. Adjunct angioplasty results in additional lumen gain by further stent expansion and tissue extrusion. Stent and lesion length, severity of ISR and acute neointimal recoil are predictors of recurrent restenosis. (+info)

Heparin after percutaneous intervention (HAPI): a prospective multicenter randomized trial of three heparin regimens after successful coronary intervention. (4/228)

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of bleeding, vascular, and ischemic complications using three different heparin regimens after successful intervention. BACKGROUND: The ideal dose and duration of heparin infusion after successful coronary intervention is unknown. METHODS: Patients were randomized to one of three heparin strategies after coronary intervention: Group 1 (n = 157 patients) received prolonged (12 to 24 h) heparin infusion followed by sheath removal; Group 2 (n = 120 patients) underwent early removal of sheaths, followed by reinstitution of heparin infusion for 12 to 18 h; Group 3 (n = 137 patients) did not receive any further heparin after intervention with early sheath removal. The primary end point of the study was the combined incidence of in-hospital bleeding and vascular events. Secondary end points included in-hospital ischemic events, length of stay, cost and one-month outcome. RESULTS: After successful coronary intervention, 414 patients were randomized. Unstable angina or postinfarction angina was present in 83% of patients before intervention. The combined incidence of bleeding and vascular events was 21% in Group 1, 14% in Group 2 and 8% in Group 3 (p = 0.01). The overall incidence of in-hospital ischemic complications was 2.2%; there were no differences between groups. Length of hospital stay was shorter (p = 0.033) and adjusted hospital cost was lower (p < 0.001) for Group 3. At 30 days, the incidence of delayed cardiac and vascular events was similar for all three groups. CONCLUSIONS: Heparin infusion after successful coronary intervention is associated with more minor bleeding and vascular injury, prolonged length of stay and increased cost. In-hospital and one-month ischemic events rarely occur after successful intervention, irrespective of heparin use. Routine postprocedure heparin is not recommended, even in patients who present with unstable ischemic syndromes. (+info)

Low prevalence of Chlamydia pneumoniae in atherectomy specimens from patients with coronary heart disease. (5/228)

Coronary atherectomy specimens from 50 patients with coronary heart disease were examined for the presence of Chlamydia pneumoniae by two different methods of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and by in situ hybridization. C. pneumoniae DNA was detected by PCR in atherosclerotic plaques of four patients (8%). Two patients' coronary atheromas were positive, both by a single-step 16S rRNA-based PCR and by an omp1-based nested PCR. The other two patients' specimens were positive only by the nested PCR. In contrast, C. pneumoniae was not detected by in situ hybridization in any of the cardiovascular tissues tested. Of three patients with evidence of C. pneumoniae in coronary atheromas, two had an antibody titer of 1:32 and the third had no specific antibodies detectable. Results of this study demonstrate a low prevalence of C. pneumoniae DNA in coronary atheromas. These findings do not support the hypothesis that the organism plays a major role in atherogenesis.

In vitro examination of the safety of rotational atherectomy of side branches jailed by stents. (6/228)

In vitro experimental models of branch orifices jailed by various stents were created to estimate the safety and the efficacy of rotational atherectomy when rotational burrs were advanced through the struts of stents. The scaffolding structures of the stents were destroyed due to loss and deflection of the struts, and the size of ablated stent-particles differed: the maximal size was 1.7 mm in slotted stents, and 17.6 mm in coiled stents. Thus, there is a definite potential for ablating stents when rotational atherectomy of restenotic lesions of side-branch orifices jailed by stents is performed. (+info)

Expression of cytokine and adhesion molecule mRNA in atherectomy specimens from patients with coronary artery disease. (7/228)

Coronary arteriosclerosis is an underlying condition in acute myocardial infarction (AMI), unstable angina pectoris (UAP) and stable angina pectoris (SAP), and is also related to restenosis (RS) following coronary intervention. To investigate the pathogenesis of this condition, a quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction was used to determine relative levels of mRNA for interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-6, IL-8, transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta), intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1, E-selectin and vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1 using directional coronary atherectomy (DCA) specimens. Eleven patients with AMI, 7 with UAP, 10 with SAP and 6 with RS following a previous coronary intervention underwent DCA. The mRNA intensity for each molecule was expressed by comparing it with that of beta-actin mRNA. The AMI and UAP patients showed high frequencies of mRNA for IL-1beta, IL-8, TGF-beta, and ICAM-1 together with strong intensities of expression, whereas SAP patients showed decreased mRNA expression for these molecules. Increased IL-6 mRNA expression was observed only in AMI samples. Specimens from RS patients revealed an accumulated expression of proinflammatory cytokines, except for IL-6, as well as of TGF-beta. The study suggests that variation in mRNA expression may reflect the pathophysiology of specific types of coronary artery disease, and remodeling following vascular injury. (+info)

Creatine kinase-MB elevation after coronary intervention correlates with diffuse atherosclerosis, and low-to-medium level elevation has a benign clinical course: implications for early discharge after coronary intervention. (8/228)

OBJECTIVES: The study evaluated the incidence and predictors of creatine kinase-MB isoenzyme (CK-MB) elevation after successful coronary intervention using current devices, and assessed the influence on in-hospital course and midterm survival. BACKGROUND: The CK-MB elevation after coronary intervention predominantly using balloon angioplasty correlates with late cardiac events of myocardial infarction (MI) and death. Whether CK-MB elevation after nonballoon devices is associated with an adverse short and midterm prognosis is unknown. METHODS: The incidence and predictors of CK-MB elevation after coronary intervention were prospectively studied in 1,675 consecutive patients and were followed for in-hospital events and survival. RESULTS: CK-MB elevation was detected in 313 patients (18.7%), with 1-3x in 12.8%, 3-5x in 3.5% and >5x normal in 2.4% of patients. Procedural complications or electrocardiogram changes occurred in only 49% of the CK-MB-elevation cases; CK-MB elevation was more common after nonballoon devices (19.5% vs. 11.5% after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty; p < 0.01). Predictors of CK-MB elevation on multivariate analysis were diffuse coronary disease (p = 0.02), systemic atherosclerosis (p = 0.002), stent use (p = 0.04) and absence of beta-blocker therapy (p = 0.001). Adverse in-hospital cardiac events were more frequent in patients with >5x CK-MB elevation, with no significant difference between 1-5x CK-MB elevation versus normal CK-MB group. During a mean follow-up of 13 +/- 3 months, the incidence of death in the CK-MB-elevation group was 1.6% versus 1.3% in the normal CK-MB group (p = NS). CONCLUSIONS: The CK-MB elevation after coronary intervention was observed even in the absence of discernible procedural complications and was more common in patients with diffuse atherosclerosis. In-hospital clinical events requiring prolonged monitoring were higher in >5x CK-MB-elevation patients only. Midterm survival of CK-MB-elevation patients was similar to those with normal CK-MB. Our prospective analysis shows a lack of adverse in-hospital cardiac events and suggests that early discharge of stable 1-5x normal CK-MB-elevation patients after successful coronary intervention is safe.
