A Comparison of Optical Coherence Tomography Guidance and Angiography-only Guidance for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold

July 26, 2016 updated by: Yonsei University

A Randomized Controlled Comparison of Optical Coherence Tomography Guidance and Angiography-only Guidance for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention With Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold

It is well-known that non-optimal stent implantation associated with under-expansion or incomplete strut apposition during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) leads to a higher incidence of restenosis and stent thrombosis. OCT-guided PCI with metallic stent has previously been shown to be safe and feasible, resulting in better clinical outcomes compared with angiography-only guided PCI. Everolimus-eluting bioabsorbable vascular scaffold (BVS; Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA, USA) was made from a bioabsorbable polylactic acid backbone which is coated with a more rapidly absorbed polylactic acid layer that contains and controls the release of the antiproliferative drug, everolimus. BVS has a number of proposed advantages over current metallic stent technology. These include elimination of chronic sources of vessel irritation and inflammation, which can reduce the potential risk of late scaffold thrombosis after complete scaffold bioresorption. Although the current generation of the Absorb BVS have larger strut thickness of 150 μm compared with 80 μm of strut of Xience stent, the acute recoil of the polymeric device was similar to that of metallic stent. However, operators tented to use dilating devices less aggressively because of the concerns about limitation in elongation-at-break of polylactide. Previous studies reported 20-30% of under-expansion or malapposition with BVS, which would increase the risk of adverse events including late stent thrombosis. OCT-guidance may improve more optimized scaffold placement and also better outcomes. Therefore, investigators will compare OCT guidance and angiography-only guidance for PCI with BVS regarding incomplete scaffold apposition and neointimal scaffold coverage. Investigators are also going to compare these two strategies regarding clinical outcomes with verification of the cut-off value by OCT-acquired uncovered scaffold rate.

PCI will be performed with BVS under conventional coronary angiography without any other intravascular imaging modality.

For optimized PCI, both conventional coronary angiography and optical coherence tomography can be used before and after stent implantation. OCT study should be checked at the final post-procedure and stent implantation is optimized.

Time Frame: until one year

Cardiac death, myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization, stent thrombosis, cerebrovascular accident and major bleeding between OCT guidance vs. angiography-only guidance PCI until 12 months

*Major bleeding ; causing mortality, hypovolemic shock or severe hypotension requiring inotropes or surgery, intrapericardial with tamponade, significant disabling (e.g. intraocular bleeding leading to loss of vision), symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage, intraocular bleeding leading to loss of vision, hemoglobin drop ≥ 3g/dL, or requiring transfusion more than 2 units

until one year
Percentage of incomplete scaffold struts apposition
Time Frame: six months after stent implantation
Scaffold strut malapposition: Malapposition is defined by a clear seperation between the abluminal side of the strut and the vessel wall. As a result, scaffold malapposition is defined as the presence of any malapposed struts. percentage of malapposed struts (% malapposed strut) was the ratio of malapposed struts from total analyzable struts.
six months after stent implantation
