Efficacy of stent smplantation using a rapid artificial cardiac pacing technique on ostial lesions of left anterior descending artery / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the safety and clinical efficacy of stent implantation using a rapid artificial cardiac pacing technique on ostial lesions of left anterior descending artery (LAD).Methods From Jun 2008 to Nov 2010,38 patients with ostial lesions of LAD were recruited and randomly divided into two groups:patients with stent implantation using a rapid artificial cardiac pacing technique (pacing group,n =19 ) and patients with direct stent implantation (no-pacing group,n =19 ).Post-stenting examination was performed.Patients were followed-up for 9 months and coronary angiography was reviewed.The immediate success rate,major adverse cardiac events including death,reinfarction and target vessel revascularization,late lumen loss,sent thmmbosisin,rent-restenosis were compared between these two groups.Results There were no significant differences in the baseline values,disease characteristics and instant response to surgery between pacing and no-pacing groups(P ＞ 0.05 ).The time cost for stent placement was significantly shorter in the pacing group than that in the no-pacing group ( [ 16.5 ± 0.5 ] s vs.[46.6 ± 1.4 ] s,t =88.256,P =0.004 ).After surgery,there was no acute or subacute thrombosis,in-stent restenosis or occlusion for patients in the pacing group.In the no-pacing group,one patient developed acute thrombosis.The symptoms disappeared after thrombus aspiration and balloon dilatation by emergency percutaneous coronary intervention.Patients were followed up for 270 -275 days,and patients in the pacing group received post-stenting coronary angiography 9 months after stent implantation using a rapid artificial cardiac pacing technique,and no in-stent re-stenosis was found.During this period,nobody had adverse events such as death,myocardial infarction or target lesion revascularization,while five cases with in-stent restenosis (50％ -60％ )were found in the no-pacing group,without further target lesion reconstruction due to symptomless.Conclusion Compared with previous positioning technique,stent implantation using a rapid artificial cardiac pacing technique on treatment of ostial lesions of LAD is safer,and more effective.It is a favorable method for accurate positioning of bracket and can improve the prognosis,reduce the occurrence of acute thrombosis and in-stent restenosis.
