Abstract: AIMS: The BiodivYsio trade mark stent (Biocompatibles Ltd, Farnham, UK) is coated with a phosphorylcholine (PC)-containing copolymer to confer biocompatibility. The SOPHOS (Study Of PHosphorylcholine coating On Stents) study was designed to assess the safety and efficacy of this novel coronary stent and by indirect comparison to indicate equivalence with other formal stent studies. METHODS AND RESULTS: Patients with angina and a single short (#x2A7F;12 mm) de novo lesion in a native coronary artery of >/=2.75 mm diameter were included. A total of 425 patients were allocated in 24 centers. Clinical data were collected at one-, six- and nine-month follow-up. Angiography was performed before and after the stent implantation. In addition, in the first 200 patients (SOPHOS A) angiography was routinely performed at six months. The following 225 patients (SOPHOS B) were merely followed up clinically. The primary end-point of the study, the six-month MACE-rate (MACE = Major Adverse Cardiac Events) was 13.4% (two cardiac death; five Q-wave/nine non-Q-wave myocardial infarctions (MI); nine CABG and 32 target lesion revascularization (TLR), which is similar to the calculated 15% MACE-rate in comparable reference studies. Secondary end-points included among others restenosis at six months in the SOPHOS A population. The target vessel diameter was 2.98 +/- 0.48 mm. Minimal lumen diameter pre/post procedure and at follow-up was 1.00 +/- 0.32, 2.69 +/- 0.37, 1.91 +/- 0.71 mm, respectively. The binary restenosis rate (>/=50% diameter stenosis at follow-up) was 17.7%. CONCLUSION: The coronary BiodivYsio stent is safe and effective as a primary device for the treatment of native coronary artery lesions in patients with stable or unstable angina pectoris. Clinical and angiographic results are in the statistical range of equivalence with comparable studies with other current stents.

Abstract: Aims: Our aim was to report on a survey initiated by the European Association of Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions (EAPCI) concerning opinion on the evidence relating to dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) duration after coronary stenting. Methods and results: Results from three randomised clinical trials were scheduled to be presented at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2014 (AHA 2014). A web-based survey was distributed to all individuals registered in the EuroIntervention mailing list (n=15,200) both before and after AHA 2014. A total of 1,134 physicians responded to the first (i.e., before AHA 2014) and 542 to the second (i.e., after AHA 2014) survey. The majority of respondents interpreted trial results consistent with a substantial equipoise regarding the benefits and risks of an extended versus a standard DAPT strategy. Two respondents out of ten believed extended DAPT should be implemented in selected patients. After AHA 2014, 46.1% of participants expressed uncertainty about the available evidence on DAPT duration, and 40.0% the need for clinical guidance. Conclusions: This EAPCI survey highlights considerable uncertainty within the medical community with regard to the optimal duration of DAPT after coronary stenting in the light of recent reported trial results. Updated recommendations for practising physicians to guide treatment decisions in routine clinical practice should be provided by international societies.

5. Multicenter evaluation of the phosphorylcholinecoated biodivYsio stent in short de novo coronary lesions: The SOPHOS study

Abstract: AIMS: The BiodivYsio™ stent (Biocompatibles Ltd, Farnham, UK) is coated with a phosphorylcholine (PC)-containin copolymer to confer biocompatibility. The SOPHOS (Study Of PHosphorylcholine coating On Stents) study was designed to assess the safety and efficacy of this novel coronary stent and by indirect comparison to indicate equivalence with other formal stent studies. METHODS AND RESULTS: Patients with angina and a single short ( R12 mm) de novo lesion in a native coronary artery of ≥2.75 mm diameter were included. A total of 425 patients were allocated in 24 centers. Clinical data were collected at one-, six- and nine-month follow-up. Angiography was performed before and after the stent implantation. In addition, in the first 200 patients (SOPHOS A) angiography was routinely performed at six months. The following 225 patients (SOPHOS B) were merely followed up clinically. The primary end-point of the study, the six-month MACE-rate (MACE = Major Adverse Cardiac Events) was 13.4% (two cardiac death; five Q-wave/nine non-Qwave myocardial infarctions (MI); nine CABG and 32 target lesion revascularization (TLR), which is similar to the calculated 15% MACE-rate in comparable reference studies. Secondary end-points included among others restenosis at six months in the SOPHOS A population. The target vessel diameter was 2.98 ±0.48 mm. Minimal lumen diameter pre/post procedure and at follow-up was 1.00 ±0.32, 2.69 ±0.37, 1.91 ±0.71mm, respectively. The binary restenosis rate ( ≥50% diameter stenosis at follow-up) was 17.7%. CONCLUSION: The coronary BiodivYsio stent is safe and effective as a primary device for the treatment of native coronary artery lesions in patients with stable or unstable angina pectoris. Clinical and angiographic results are in the statistical range of equivalence with comparable studies with other current stents. (Int J Cardiovasc Intervent 2000; 3: 215-225)

Abstract: AIMS Our aim was to report on a survey initiated by the European Association of Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions (EAPCI) concerning opinion on the evidence relating to dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) duration after coronary stenting. METHODS AND RESULTS Results from three randomised clinical trials were scheduled to be presented at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2014 (AHA 2014). A web-based survey was distributed to all individuals registered in the EuroIntervention mailing list (n=15,200) both before and after AHA 2014. A total of 1,134 physicians responded to the first (i.e., before AHA 2014) and 542 to the second (i.e., after AHA 2014) survey. The majority of respondents interpreted trial results consistent with a substantial equipoise regarding the benefits and risks of an extended versus a standard DAPT strategy. Two respondents out of ten believed extended DAPT should be implemented in selected patients. After AHA 2014, 46.1% of participants expressed uncertainty about the available evidence on DAPT duration, and 40.0% the need for clinical guidance. CONCLUSIONS This EAPCI survey highlights considerable uncertainty within the medical community with regard to the optimal duration of DAPT after coronary stenting in the light of recent reported trial results. Updated recommendations for practising physicians to guide treatment decisions in routine clinical practice should be provided by international societies.

Abstract: Background: Nonagenarians are mostly denied from different therapeutic strategies due to high preoperative risk. We present the results of nonagenarians with severe aortic stenosis (AS) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)., Methods: Our retrospective analysis include baseline and procedural data along with clinical outcome. Clinical follow-up was performed in all patients after TAVR., Results: Out of 689 patients, 33 nonagenarians with a mean age of 90.9±1.4years suffering from severe AS and elevated comorbidity index (logistic EuroSCORE of 16.3±9.6%, STS score 11.1±9.9%) underwent TAVR between September 2009 and July 2016 using self-expanding prosthesis. Baseline transthoracic echocardiography reported a mean aortic valve area (AVA) of 0.64±0.12cm2 with a mean pressure gradient of 56.1±16.1mmHg. Five (16.2%) patients had postprocedural moderate/severe aortic regurgitation. One patient died intraoperally due to ventricular perforation during predilatation, while two patients died within the first 30days, one due to cardiogenic shock and the other due to pneumonia. No patient experienced a myocardial infarction or a stroke, while ten (30.3%) required permanent pacemaker placement. At follow-up (mean 20.3 months, range 1-78 months), all cause and cardiovascular mortality was 24.2% and 15.1%, respectively. Two patients presented heart failure and 12 (40%) had exertional dyspnea. By echo, mean valve area was 1.72±0.12cm2 and mean gradient 11.2±1.4mmHg. Two patients (16.7%) presented moderate aortic regurgitation., Conclusion: Our case series demonstrate that even with elevated comorbidity index, clinical endpoints and valve-associated results are relatively favorable in nonagenarians treated with TAVR., (Copyright © 2017.

Abstract: Aims: The occurrence of type I endoleaks represent an ominous sign after endovascular aneurysms repair (EVAR). We report our experience using balloon-expandable stents (BES) for the treatment of proximal Type I endoleaks at five high-volume hospitals in Argentina., Methods and Results: Of 1,395 patients who underwent EVAR, we retrospectively collected data of 29 (2%) consecutive patients who underwent additional BES to repair proximal type I endoleaks. The mean age was 75.8 years old (range 63-87) and 93% were male. A hostile anatomy was found in 89.6% of the cases. BES oversize (balloon/neck diameter ration ≥ 30%) was frequent (69%); whereas, BES/prosthesis diameter ratio was less than 1 in 79% of the cases. Complete and partial sealing was obtained 72 and 28% of the cases, respectively. There were no immediate or late surgical conversion or major complications related with stent implantation. At a median time follow-up of 14.9 months (25-75% interquartiles: 4.5-17.5 months), there were no cardiovascular deaths, evidence of aneurysm sac enlargement or need for re-intervention., Conclusions: Our preliminary results suggest that BES implantation for the treatment of proximal type I endoleaks is feasible and safe with favourable mid-term results and may preclude the need for surgical conversion.

Abstract: Unlabelled: We prospectively evaluated a novel nano-synthesized, membrane-covered self-expanding super-elastic all-metal endoprosthesis stent (SESAME Stent) in patients undergoing percutaneous intervention (PCI) of degenerated saphenous vein graft (SVG) lesions., Methods: SESAME investigators prospectively enrolled 20 patients/21 lesions at 2 outside United States (OUS) centers, between February 2005 and August 2005. Patients underwent elective intervention of symptomatic SVG lesions with ≥ 50% stenosis. PCI was performed without embolic protection devices. The primary end point was technical and procedural success. Secondary end points included major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at 30 days and 9 months., Results: Twenty patients (twenty-one SVG lesions) received SESAME stents. The acute success was 100%. No procedural or in hospital complications occurred. One patient underwent a planned staged PCI at 28 days in a separate SVG. Follow-up was present in 20 patients at 30 days, with clinical (n = 19) and angiographic evaluation (18 patients/19 lesions) at 9 months. No MACE events occurred at 30 days. At 9 months, 3 patients underwent repeat PCI. One TLR (restenosis at the overlap of two stents) and two nonindex lesion TVR for a MACE rate of 14% at 9 months., Conclusions: This study demonstrated the ABPS SESAME Stent has excellent acute success, low 30 day MACE rates and 9 month patency of the SESAME is similar to balloon expandable stents without embolic protection., (Copyright © 2010 Wiley-Liss, Inc.)

Abstract: The purpose of the study was to examine the safety and efficacy of two different formulations of mycophenolic acid (MPA)-eluting Duraflex stents on coronary de novo lesions. Recent data indicate that local delivery of MPA in the porcine overstretch coronary model significantly reduces neointimal hyperplasia (NIH). Patients were divided into three consecutive groups. The first (n=50) and second (n=55) groups received moderate- and slow-release MPA-eluting Duraflex stent, respectively. The last group (n=50) received the bare metal Duraflex stent. Clinical, angiographic, and intravascular ultrasound analysis were performed at 6-month follow-up. All stents were successfully deployed and patients were discharged home without clinical events. Compared to controls, 6-month in-lesion and in-stent minimum luminal diameter as well as late lumen loss were not significantly different in the moderate- and slow-release treatment groups. At follow-up, percentage obstruction and NIH volume were also similar between the three groups. At 30 days and 6 and 12 months, there were no differences noted between the three groups with respect to major adverse cardiac events as well as the individual rates of mortality, myocardial infarction, or repeat revascularization. There were no cases of subacute or late thrombosis. In this feasibility trial, the MPA-eluting Duraflex stents in either slow- or moderate-release formulations were well tolerated, but showed no benefit for treatment of coronary lesions when compared to controls. Further testing with different drug dosing or delivery rate might improve these results., (Copyright (c) 2005 Wiley-Liss, Inc.)

Abstract: Atheroembolization resulting in transient or permanent neurologic impairment is the most common complication of catheter-based percutaneous carotid artery intervention. Protection of the distal cerebral vasculature during carotid stent implantation may enhance procedural safety. Carotid stent implantation with distal cerebral protection using the FilterWire EX was performed in 35 consecutive patients undergoing 36 procedures at six centers. The FilterWire was delivered and deployed successfully in all 36 cases, and embolic material was retrieved from 74% of procedures. The 30-day rate of major adverse events (death, major or minor stroke) was 0%. Transient ipsilateral periprocedural neurologic ischemia developed in two patients (5.7%), both resolving within 30 min. Distal cerebral protection with the FilterWire during carotid stenting is feasible and safe, results in capture and extraction of atheroembolic debris in the majority of patients while affording uninterrupted cerebral perfusion, and in this initial multicenter experience was associated with a high rate of procedural success without major complications., (Copyright 2003 Wiley-Liss, Inc)

Abstract: Background: Prior studies of percutaneous transluminal renal artery angioplasty and stenting (PTRAS) for atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (RAS) have shown that renal function is improved in about 25%, stabilizes in about 40%, but worsens in about 25% of patients. The factors predicting benefit remain controversial. We tested the hypothesis that the baseline glomerular filtration rate (GFR) predicts the changes in GFR and blood pressure (BP) after PTRAS., Methods: Treated hypertensive patients with positive renal color-coded duplex Doppler velocimetry and clinical criteria were screened by arteriography. Patients (N = 105) were included if they had an RAS >or=70%, a transluminal pressure gradient >or=30 mm Hg and, they had more than 100 days of follow-up. GFR was calculated from the serum creatinine concentration (SCr). Patients were divided by baseline GFR into subgroups with normal to mildly impaired (N = 52) or moderately to severely impaired (N = 53) initial GFR, according to a GFR >or=50 or <50 mL. min-1 respectively. All received PTRAS., Results: For the entire group, after a mean follow-up period of 371 days, there were significant reductions in systolic and diastolic BP (before, 160 +/- 26/91 +/- 12 vs. after, 145 +/- 20/83 +/- 10 mm Hg, respectively; mean +/- SD; P < 0.0001), and a modest increase in the calculated GFR (before, 54 +/- 26 vs. after, 62 +/- 28 mL. min-1; mean +/- SD; P < 0.007). However, in the subgroup of patients with an initially lower GFR there was a significant increase in the calculated GFR (from 33.3 +/- 10 to 54 +/- 24 mL. min-1; mean +/- SD; P < 0.0001) despite no significant change in BP (161 +/- 27/90 +/- 12 vs. 151 +/- 21/86 +/- 12; P = NS). In contrast, in the subgroup with an initially higher GFR, there were significant (P < 0.0001) reductions in systolic BP (from 159 +/- 25 to 138 +/- 16 mm Hg) and diastolic BP (from 91 +/- 11 to 81 +/- 9 mm Hg), but no significant change in the calculated GFR (from 75 +/- 21 to 70.2 +/- 30 mL. min-1; P = NS). The significance of GFR variation in subgroups remained after correction of baseline data to exclude the influence of the expected regression to the mean., Conclusions: Patients with atherosclerotic RAS fulfilling strict criteria of severity may have significant improvements in BP one year after PTRAS but only modest in GFR. The initial GFR may anticipate whether the benefits in the outcome will be in renal function enhancement (those with an initially depressed GFR) or in hypertension control (those with an initially normal or mildly impaired GFR).

Abstract: Background and Purpose: Fear of distal embolization and stroke has aroused concern regarding carotid stenting. Devices to protect the cerebral circulation may make carotid stenting safer., Methods: A multidisciplinary study group tested a balloon occlusion-aspiration emboli entrapment device in conjunction with carotid stenting. The device consists of an elastomeric balloon on a steerable wire with a detachable adapter that inflates and deflates the distal temporary occlusion balloon. An aspiration catheter is used to remove trapped emboli after stenting and before occlusion balloon deflation., Results: Seventy-five patients with severe internal carotid artery stenosis were treated with stents deployed with this cerebrovasculature protection system. All 75 patients (100%) had grossly visible particulate material aspirated, and all were treated successfully without major or minor stroke or death at 30 days. Preintervention stenosis was 81+/-10%, and residual stenosis was 5+/-7%. Nine patients (12%) had angiographic evidence of thrombus before intervention, but no patient had thrombus or vessel cutoff after the procedure. Four patients (5%) developed transient neurological symptoms during protection balloon occlusion, but symptoms resolved with balloon deflation. The 22 to 667 particles aspirated per patient ranged from 3.6 to 5262 microm in maximum diameter (mean, 203+/-256 microm). These particles included fibrous plaque debris, lipid or cholesterol vacuoles, and calcific plaque fragments., Conclusions: Protected carotid stenting was performed successfully and safely in this study early in the experience with cerebrovascular protection devices. Particulate emboli are frequent with stenting, and cerebral protection will likely be necessary to minimize stroke. Randomized trials comparing protected carotid stenting with endarterectomy are warranted.

Abstract: The purpose of this article is to review and update the current status of carotid artery stent placement in the world. Surveys to major interventional centers in Europe, North and South America, and Asia were initially completed in June 1997. Subsequent information from these 24 centers in addition to 12 new centers has been obtained to update the information. The survey asked the various questions regarding the patients enrolled, procedure techniques, and results of carotid stenting, including complications and restenosis. The total number of endovascular carotid stent procedures that have been performed worldwide to date included 5,210 procedures involving 4,757 patients. There was a technical success of 98.4% with 5,129 carotid arteries treated. Complications that occurred during the carotid stent placement or within a 30-day period following placement were recorded. Overall, there were 134 transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) for a rate of 2.82%. Based on the total patient population, there were 129 minor strokes with a rate of occurrence of 2.72%. The total number of major strokes was 71 for a rate of 1.49%. There were 41 deaths within a 30-day postprocedure period resulting in a mortality rate of 0.86%. The combined minor and major strokes and procedure-related death rate was 5.07%. Restenosis rates of carotid stenting have been 1.99% and 3.46% at 6 and 12 months, respectively. The rate of neurologic events after stent placement has been 1.42% at 6-12-month follow-up. Endovascular stent treatment of carotid artery atherosclerotic disease is growing as an alternative for vascular surgery, especially for patients that are high risk for standard carotid endarterectomy. The periprocedure risks for major and minor strokes and death are generally acceptable at this early stage of development and have not changed significantly since the first survey results. Cathet.

Abstract: Our purpose was to review the current status of carotid artery stent placement throughout the world. Surveys were sent to major interventional centers in Europe, North and South America, and Asia. Information from peer-reviewed journals was also included and supplemented the survey. The survey asked various questions regarding the patients enrolled, procedure techniques, and results of carotid stenting, including complications and restenosis. Of the centers which were sent surveys, 24 responded. The total number of endovascular carotid stent procedures that have been performed worldwide to date included 2,048 cases, with a technical success of 98.6%. Complications that occurred during carotid stent placement or within a 30-day period following placement were recorded. Overall, there were 63 minor strokes, with a rate of occurrence of 3.08%. The total number of major strokes was 27, for a rate of 1.32%. There were 28 deaths within a 30-day postprocedure period, resulting in a mortality rate of 1.37%. Restenosis rates of carotid stenting have been 4.80% at 6 mo. Endovascular stent treatment of carotid artery atherosclerotic disease is growing as an alternative to vascular surgery, especially for patients that are at high risk for standard carotid endarterectomy. The periprocedural risks for major and minor strokes and death are generally acceptable at this early stage of development.

Abstract: To establish if the videodensitometric analysis (VDA) of the intracoronary ultrasound images (IVUS) can predict the qualitative and quantitative composition of the atherosclerotic coronary plaques, thirty-one patients who had undergone anatomopathological study of directional coronary atherectomy (DCA) samples and pre- and post-intervention IVUS image were analyzed. The video IVUS images were digitized in a 512 x 512 matrix and analyzed for densitometric differences with an Automatic Image Analysis System (AIAS) (Vidas 2000, Zeiss Kontron). The components of the plaque were arbitrarily divided into three densitometric categories using a 256 gray scale: high density (HD) 121-255, medium (MD) 81-120 and low (LD) 30-80. The relative percentage of each component was automatically recorded. The DCA samples were microscopically examined and put into the AIAS. The components were divided into: collagenous tissue (CT); lipid-necrotic debris (LND); proliferative tissue (PT). The area of each component was expressed as a percentage of the total. Linear correlation analysis was applied. Comparison between the IVUS and the histological composition of the plaque showed that: HD corresponded to CT; MD to PT; LD to LND. The correlation between the percentage distribution of the densitometric categories and the anatomopathological components showed a correlation coefficient r = 0.91 between HD and CT; r = 0.87 between MD and PT; r = 0.88 between LD and LND. The VDA of the IVUS can distinguish three basic components of the atherosclerotic plaque: fibrous, lipid-necrotic and proliferative tissue, allowing absolute and relative quantitative analysis. This capability may be of interest for device selection and histopathological correlation.

18. Transbrachial selective arteriography of the neck vessels: our experience in 258 cases.

Author: Londero HF and de la Fuente LM
Subjects: Adult, Aged, Angiography, Catheterization methods, Female, Humans, Male, Middle Aged, Brachial Artery diagnostic imaging, Neck blood supply
Abstract: We have developed a catheter that facilitates the study of the neck vessels via a brachial arteriotomy so that other vascular areas (heart, kidneys, etc) can be studied in the same procedure. The catheter has a preformed curvature with a tapered, closed-end distal tip. We have successfully utilized this catheter in 258 consecutive patients, 133 (52%) of whom had undergone concurrent studies of other vascular areas, usually cardiac catheterization with coronary arteriography. No major complications occurred with the use of this catheter. We have found that with this catheter we can study the neck vessels via the brachial approach safely and easily and perform studies of other vascular areas using the same arteriotomy.
