RESUMO
PURPOSE: The association between the extent of the wire and device bias as assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT) in the healthy portion of the vessel and the risk of coronary artery injury after orbital atherectomy (OA) has not been fully elucidated. Thus, purpose of this study is to investigate the association between pre-OA OCT findings and post-OA coronary artery injury by OCT. METHODS: We enrolled 148 de novo lesions having calcified lesion required OA (max Ca angle > 90°) in 135 patients who underwent both pre- and post-OA OCT. In pre-OA OCT, OCT catheter contact angle and the presence or absences of guide-wire (GW) contact with the normal vessel intima were assessed. Also, in post-OA OCT, we assessed there was post-OA coronary artery injury (OA injury), defined as disappearance of both of intima and medial wall of normal vessel, or not. RESULTS: OA injury was found in 19 lesions (13%). Pre-PCI OCT catheter contact angle with the normal coronary artery was significantly larger (median 137°; inter quartile range [IQR] 113-169 vs. median 0°; IQR 0-0, P < 0.001) and more GW contact with the normal vessel was found (63% vs. 8%, P < 0.001). Pre-PCI OCT catheter contact angle > 92° and GW contact with the normal vessel intima were associated with post-OA vascular injury (Both: 92% (11/12), Either: 32% (8/25), Neither: 0% (0/111), P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Pre-PCI OCT findings, such as catheter contact angle > 92° and guide-wire contact to the normal coronary artery, were associated with post-OA coronary artery injury.

Acute myocarditis is a rare but serious complication associated with mRNA-based coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination. In this article, four COVID-19 mRNA vaccination induced myocarditis cases managed at our tertiary Medical Center have been discussed. Three patients had typical myocarditis. One patient suffered from atrioventricular block and heart failure, which required more intensive treatment, but eventually improved. Additionally, a review of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features related to the diagnosis of myocarditis showed that COVID-19 mRNA vaccine-associated myocarditis tend to have more late-gadolinium enhancement (LGE) accumulation in the inferior lateral wall direction. According to a report by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the diagnosis of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine-associated myocarditis is based on clinical symptoms, altered myocardial enzymes, cardiac MRI finding, or histopathology. Cardiac MRI is relatively less invasive than myocardial biopsy and plays an important role in the diagnosis of myocarditis. This review may aid in the diagnosis of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine-associated myocarditis.
