ABSTRACT

Introducción y objetivos: La conveniencia del implante de stent en lesiones carotídeas suboclusivas es un tema controvertido. Nuestro trabajo valoró las implicaciones clínicas y de procedimiento de la revascularización de lesiones carotídeas suboclusivas. Métodos: Se incluyó a 205 pacientes con enfermedad carotídea revascularizados con stent: los pacientes con lesiones suboclusivas (n = 54) fueron comparados con el resto de la población (n = 151). Resultados: No hubo diferencias entre grupos para la edad, el sexo y la tasa de pacientes sintomáticos (que constituían 3 cuartas partes de la población). El implante de stent en lesiones suboclusivas cursó con una alta tasa de éxito (96%), similar al resto de las lesiones (98%). La revascularización de las lesiones suboclusivas condicionó un mayor uso de protección proximal (54% vs. 20,5%, p < 0,001) y necesidad de predilatación (33% vs. 17%, p = 0,01). El abordaje de lesiones suboclusivas ocasionó un mayor desprendimiento de placa, manifestado por una mayor tasa de material embólico extraído (18,5% vs. 7%, p = 0,01) y de lesiones isquémicas cerebrales periprocedimiento (47% vs. 31%, p = 0,07). A los 30 días de la revascularización, la tasa de eventos neurológicos (muerte, ictus mayor, ictus menor) mostró tendencia a ser mayor para el grupo con lesiones suboclusivas (9,2% vs. 3,2%, p = 0,08). Conclusiones: La revascularización con stent de lesiones carotídeas suboclusivas presenta una alta tasa de éxito de procedimiento; sin embargo, su mayor carga de placa ocasiona un superior porcentaje de lesiones isquémicas cerebrales, y de eventos neurovasculares en el primer mes (AU)


Introduction and objectives: The advisability of implanting a stent in carotid near-occlusion stenosis is a controversial topic. We have assessed procedural and clinical implications of stent implantation for carotid artery disease with near occlusion. Methods: We included 205 patients who underwent carotid artery revascularisation with a stent. The group of patients with near-occlusion stenosis (n=54)was compared to the rest of the population (n=151). Results: No differences were found between groups for age, sex, and the percentage of symptomatic patients (three-quarters of the population). Carotid stent revascularisation for near-occlusion stenosis presented a high procedural success rate (96%) similar to that of revascularisation processes for other lesions (98%). Stenting in cases of near-occlusion stenosis required increased use of proximal protection (54% vs. 20.5%, P<.001) and predilation (33% vs. 17%, P=.01). The process to repair near-occlusion stenosis cause increased detachment of plaque, as shown by higher percentages of macroscopic plaque captured by protection devices (18.5% vs. 7%, P=.01) and of perioperative ischaemic brain lesions (47% vs 31%, P = .07). At 30 days of follow-up, the tendency toward adverse neurological events (death, major and minor stroke) was higher in the near-occlusion group (9.2% vs. 3.2%, P=.08). Conclusions: Stent revascularisation for near-occlusion carotid stenosis has a high procedural success rate; however, its higher plaque load was responsible for the increased rate of ischaemic brain lesions and adverse neurovascular events at 30 days post-procedure (AU)
