Abstract

Abstract Background Cobalt chromium coronary stents are increasingly being used in percutaneous coronary interventions. There are, however, no reliable data about the characteristics of unfolding and visibility of this stent alloy in vivo. The aim of this study is to compare cobalt chromium coronary stents with conventional stainless steel stents using intracoronary ultrasound. Methods Twenty de novo native coronary stenoses ≤ 20 mm in length (target vessel reference diameter ≥ 2.5 and ≤ 4.0 mm) received under sequential intracoronary ultrasound either a cobalt chromium stent (Multi-Link Vision®; n = 10) or a stainless steel stent (Multi-Link Zeta®; n = 10). Results For optimal unfolding, the cobalt chromium stent requires a higher balloon deployment pressure (13.90 ± 2.03 atm) than the stainless steel stent (11.50 ± 2.12 atm). Furthermore, the achieved target vessel diameter of the cobalt chromium stent (Visibility-Index QCA/IVUS Multi-Link Vision®1.13 / Multi-Link Zeta® 1.04) is more easily overrated by Quantitative Coronary Analysis. Conclusion These data indicate that stent material-specific recommendations for optimal implantation pressure and different stent material with an equal design should both be considered in interpreting QCA-analysis.

Abstract

To assess the morphologic correlate of the presence and absence of pathologic Q waves in the electrocardiogram, 30 patients with and 17 patients without pathologic Q waves and chronic myocardial infarction (infarct age >4 months) and 15 patients without previous myocardial infarction but significant coronary artery disease (>70% diameter stenoses) were studied by gradient-echo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Short-axis MRI tomograms were evaluated on a segmental basis by calculating end-diastolic wall thickness and systolic wall thickening. All segments were graded transmural scar (end-diastolic wall thickness < end-diastolic wall thickness of a healthy control group [n = 21] - 2.5 SD and lack of systolic wall thickening), hypokinetic (end-diastolic wall thickness [greater than or equal to] end-diastolic wall thickness of the control group - 2.5 SD and systolic wall thickening [less than or equal to] 2 mm), or normal (end-diastolic wall thickness [greater than or equal to] end-diastolic wall thickness of the control group - 2.5 SD and systolic wall thickening >2 mm) by MRI criteria. Myocardial infarcts were defined as transmural if at least 1 segment fulfilled the MRI criteria for transmural scar. Of 30 patients with Q-wave infarction, 26 (87%) had a transmural defect, and 6 of 17 patients (35%) with non-Q-wave infarction had a transmural infarct. Segmental evaluation yielded 129 of 480 scar segments (27%) for patients with Q-wave infarction, 20 of 272 scar segments (7%) for patients with non-Q-wave infarction, and no scar segments for patients without previous myocardial infarction. The proportion of segments graded transmural scar was significantly (p

Abstract

To assess the feasibility, safety and usefulness of gradient-echo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) combined with pharmacologic stress testing for the detection of coronary artery disease, 23 patients without previous myocardial infarction but with significant stenosis (>70% diameter stenosis) of [is greater than or equal to]1 major coronary artery were selected for dipyridamole-MRI stress testing. Each patient underwent MRI at rest, and high-dose dipyridamole-MRI (0.75/kg over 10 minutes) of corresponding basal and midventricular short-axis tomograms. Additionally, these patients performed symptom-limited exercise stress tests. All short-axis tomograms were evaluated on a standardized segmental basis by grading each segment as normal, hypokinetic or dyskinetic. Dipyridamole-MRI was considered pathologic if segmental wall motion deteriorated by [is greater than or equal to]1 grade after dipyridamole. For comparison with coronary angiography, segmental wall motion gradings were related to the respective coronary artery territories in the short-axis plane. Pathologic dipyridamole-MRI was obtained in 18 of 23 (78%) patients. For 1- and 2-vessel diseases, sensitivity was 69 and 90%, respectively. Exercise stress tests were pathologic in 14 of 23 (66%) patients. For 1-and 2-vessel diseases, sensitivity of exercise stress test was 58% (7 of 12 patients) and 77% (7 of 9), respectively. Sensitivity/specificity of dipyridamole-MRI for the localization of the stenosed coronary artery was 78/100% for left anterior descending, 73/100% for left circumflex, and 88/87% for right coronary artery stenoses. It is concluded that dipyridamole-MRI is a feasible nonexercise-dependent test for detection and localization of functionally significant coronary artery disease.
