OBJECTIVES: To compare the radial versus femoral approach using Angio-Seal for the incidence of access site complications among non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome patients undergoing invasive strategy. BACKGROUND: Arterial access is a major site of complications after invasive coronary procedures. Vascular closure devices provide more comfort to patients decreasing time to hemostasis and need for bed rest. However, the inconsistency of data proving their safety limits their routine adoption as a strategy to prevent vascular complications. METHODS: Single-center non-inferiority trial where 240 patients were randomized to radial or femoral access using Angio-Seal. The primary objective was the occurrence of complications at the arterial puncture site until 30 days after the procedure. RESULTS: There were no baseline clinical differences between groups, except for a greater prevalence of female patients in the radial group (33.3 vs. 20.0%, P = 0.020). Hemostasis was achieved in the entire radial group with the use of TR Band and in 95% of the procedures in the femoral group with Angio-Seal (P = 0.029). Except for a higher incidence of asymptomatic arterial occlusion in the radial group, there were no differences among the other analyzed outcomes. According to the noninferiority test, the use of Angio-Seal was noninferior to the radial approach, considering the margin of 15% (12.5 vs. 13.3%, difference -0.83%, 95% CI -9.31 - 7.65, P for noninferiority <0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Angio-Seal seems noninferior in the incidence of access site complications at 30 days when compared with the radial approach. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

OBJECTIVES: To determine the impact of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) performed at the same time of the peak concentration of rosuvastatin to reduce periprocedural myocardial infarction (PMI). BACKGROUND: Prior studies suggest that a high dose of statin before PCI reduce periprocedural myocardial infarction. However, there is no information regarding the elective PCI performed at the time of the peak of statin concentration to reduce PMI. METHODS: From 2001 to 2013, at a single center in Brazil we enrolled 544 patients who underwent elective PCI and after exclusions for baseline biases in clinical and angiographic characteristics, yielding 528 patients, we prospectively randomly assigned them to either a high loading dose of Rosuvastatin before PCI (n = 264) or standard treatment (n = 264). After exclusions for biases in procedural characteristics a total of 487 patients underwent to end points analysis. The primary outcome was the incidence of MB fraction of creatine kinase (CK-MB) greater than three times the upper limit of normal. RESULTS: The primary end point occurred in 7.6% in the rosuvastatin and 4.8% in the control group (P = 0.200). There was a higher incidence in elevation of CK-MB than normal baseline in the rosuvastatin (67.1% vs 59.2%, P = 0.701). There was no difference in major adverse event (0% in the rosuvastatin group vs 0.8% in control).

The Xience VTM everolimus-eluting stents is a new generation drug-eluting stent (DES)that incorporates a low profile cobalt-chromium platform (81 m) and a highly biocompatible polymer(fluoropolymer), which carries and controls the release of everolimus. Recent studies have demonstrated sustained safety and efficacy of the Xience VTM in the treatment of real-world populations. Our aim was to report the clinical results of 12 months of the BRAVO Brazilian protocol. Methods: The BRAVO Registry was a prospective, non-randomized, single-arm, multicenter (25 centers) study that evaluated the late clinical results of 535 minimally selected patients treated with the drug eluting stent Xience VTM in Brazilian daily practice. Results: Overall, 40% of patients had diabetes, 25% prior myocardial infarction, and 42% presented with acute coronary artery syndrome. The majority of lesions (69%) was highly complex (ACC/AHA type B2 or C).The mean length and the nominal stent diameter were 19.9 ± 5.3 mm and 3.0 ± 0.4 mm, respectively.The angiographic and procedural successes were 99.7 and 98%, respectively. At 12 months, the cumulative rate of major adverse cardiac events, available in 100% of patients, was 5.6% (cardiac death: 1.3%; acute myocardial infarction: 3.0%; revascularization of the target lesion: 2.2%). Stent thrombosis occurred in 5 patients (0,9%), and only 1 case was reported between 6 and 12 months. Conclusions: The drug-eluting stent Xience V demonstrated sustained safety and efficacy up to 12 months in the treatment of complex coronary lesions in patients from daily practice...

BACKGROUND: There are few registries documenting clinical practice in Brazilian patients with acute coronary syndrome. OBJECTIVES: Demography description, occurrence of major clinical adverse events and comparative analysis in patients submitted or not to an invasive strategy (coronary angiography and myocardial revascularization) in a Brazilian multicenter registry of acute coronary syndrome. METHODS: The ACCEPT/SBC registry prospectively collected data on acute coronary syndrome patients from 47 Brazilian hospitals. The current analysis reports the occurrence of major clinical outcomes and according to the performance or not of a procedure for myocardial revascularization at the end of 30 day follow-up. RESULTS: Between August 2010 and December 2011, 2.485 patients were enrolled in this registry. Of these, 31.6% had unstable angina, 34.9% and 33.4% had acute coronary syndrome without and with ST-segment elevation. At 30 days, the performance of a myocardial revascularization procedure was progressively higher according to the severity of clinical presentation (38.7% vs. 53.6% vs. 77.7%, p < 0.001). Cardiac mortality among those submitted or not to myocardial revascularization procedure was 1.0% vs. 2.3% (p = 0.268), 1.9% vs. 4.2% (p = 0.070) and 2.0% vs. 8.1% (p < 0.001), in those with unstable angina, acute coronary syndrome without and with ST-segment elevation, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The prescription of a myocardial revascularization procedure was progressively more frequent according to the severity of clinical presentation; for those treated during acute coronary syndrome without and with ST-segment elevation, there was a trend and significant decrease in mortality rate at 30 day of follow-up, respectively.

FUNDAMENTO: São escassos os registros documentando a prática clínica brasileira na vigência de uma síndrome coronária aguda. OBJETIVOS: Descrição da demografia, ocorrência de desfechos graves e análise comparativa dentre aqueles que efetivaram ou não uma estratégia invasiva (cinecoronariografia e revascularização miocárdica) em um registro brasileiro multicêntrico de portadores de uma síndrome coronária aguda. MÉTODOS: O registro ACCEPT/SBC coletou prospectivamente, em 47 centros hospitalares brasileiros, pacientes na vigência de uma síndrome coronária aguda. Apresentamos a ocorrência de desfechos clínicos graves, de modo integral, e de acordo com a submissão ou não a um procedimento de revascularização do miocárdio ao final dos primeiros 30 dias de seguimento. RESULTADOS: De agosto de 2010 até dezembro de 2011, 2.485 pacientes foram incluídos neste registro. Destes, 31,6% eram portadores de angina instável e 34,9% e 33,4%, com síndrome sem e com supradesnível do segmento ST. Aos 30 dias, a submissão a procedimento de revascularização do miocárdio foi progressivamente maior de acordo com a gravidade da apresentação clínica (38,7% versus 53,6% versus 77,7%; p < 0,001). A ocorrência de mortalidade cardíaca, dentre aqueles submetidos ou não à revascularização miocárdica, foi de 1,0% versus 2,3% (p = 0,268), 1,9% versus 4,2% (p = 0,070) e 2,0% versus 8,1% (p < 0,001), angina instável, síndrome sem e com supradesnível do segmento ST, respectivamente. CONCLUSÕES: A prescrição de revascularização do miocárdio foi progressivamente mais frequente de acordo com a gravidade da apresentação clínica; naqueles atendidos na vigência de síndrome coronária sem e com supradesnível do segmento ST, promoveu tendência e redução significativa da mortalidade, aos 30 dias, respectivamente.

Despite the undeniable contribution of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) to assess drug-eluting stent (DES) effectiveness, the way these image modalities correlate to each other and to target-lesion revascularization (TLR) after PCI, is yet to be established. Thus we sought to evaluate whether there is an acceptable correlation between QCA and IVUS after DES implantation. We analyzed 204 pts treated with DES: Zotarolimus- (126), Sirolimus- (57), and Biolimus (31) with baseline and follow-up QCA and IVUS. The correlation between QCA lumen loss (LL) and intimal hyperplasia (IH) volume obstruction by IVUS was assessed by multiple regression analysis. Two QCA parameters (in-segment diameter stenosis and in-segment LL) and one IVUS variable (in-stent volume of IH) were evaluated as quantitative surrogates of 6 month TLR. The receiver operating characteristic method with c-statistics was used to assess the ability of each surrogate endpoint to predict TLR. QCA LL correlated positively with IVUS IH volume of obstruction (r = 0.69; CI95% 0.61-0.75: P < 0.0001), independent of DES type. The 2 QCA parameters were superior to the IVUS parameter as surrogates for TLR. Of note, QCA LL (c = 0.99) correlated best with TLR, even better than percent DS. In the DES era there is a good correlation between QCA measured LL and IVUS IH volume and therefore can be used as a surrogate of DES efficacy.

Abstract Despite the undeniable contribution of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and quantitative coronary
angiography (QCA) to assess drug-eluting stent (DES) effectiveness, the way these image modalities correlate to each other and to target-lesion revascularization
(TLR) after PCI, is yet to be established. Thus we sought to evaluate whether there is an acceptable correlation between QCA and IVUS after DES implantation. We analyzed 204 pts treated with
DES: Zotarolimus- (126), Sirolimus- (57), and Biolimus (31) with baseline and follow-upQCA and IVUS. The correlation between QCA lumen loss (LL) and intimal hyperplasia (IH) volume obstruction by IVUS
was assessed by multiple regression analysis. Two QCA parameters (in-segment diameter stenosis and insegment
LL) and one IVUS variable (in-stent volume of IH) were evaluated as quantitative surrogates of 6 month TLR. The receiver operating characteristic method with c-statistics was used to assess the
ability of each surrogate endpoint to predict TLR. QCA LL correlated positively with IVUS IH volume of obstruction (r = 0.69; CI95% 0.610.75: P/0.0001), independent of DES type. The 2 QCA
parameters were superior to the IVUS parameter as surrogates for TLR. Of note, QCA LL (c = 0.99) correlated best with TLR, even better than percent DS. In the DES era there is a good correlation between
QCA measured LL and IVUS IH volume and therefore can be used as a surrogate of DES efficacy.

Fundamentos: Historicamente, as intervenções coronárias percutâneas (ICP) em lesões de bifurcação associam-se com elevadas taxas de complicações, principalmente em decorrência dos resultados subótimos no ramo lateral (RL) e da necessidade de revascularização da lesão-alvo (RLA) durante seguimento tardio. Avaliamos o impacto dos stents farmacológicos (SF) na evolução clínica tardia de pacientes não-selecionados provenientes da prática clínica diária com lesão envolvendo bifurcação. Método: A partir de maio de 2002, 195 pacientes com lesão de bifurcação foram consecutivamente tratados em dois centros clínicos (grupo SF = 89 pacientes; grupo stent não-farmacológico [SNF] = 106), e o seguimento clínico foi completo até dois anos. Resultados: Os dois grupos apresentavam perfis clínicos semelhantes, incluindo média das idades de 63 anos, e 25% de diabetes melito. A maioria das lesões tinha comprometimento significativo dos dois ramos (78% vs. 76%; p = 0,82), a estratégia de stent provisional RL foi utilizada na maioria dos casos (75% vs. 89% de SNF; p = 0,45), e o sucesso angiográfico no RL (fluxo TIMI 3, estenose residual < 50%, sem dissecção) foi atingido em 80% vs. 78% (p = 0,56), nos grupos SF e SNF, respectivamente. Aos 24 meses de seguimento, o grupo SF apresentou maior sobrevida livre de RLA (97,8% vs. 82,1%; p < 0,0001), com conseqüente maior sobrevida livre de eventos cardíacos adversos maiores (ECAM) (93,3% vs. 77,4%; p = 0,003).

Background: Historically, percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) in bifurcation lesions are associated with high rates of complications, especially due to suboptimal results in the lateral branch (LB) and the need for target lesion revascularization (TLR) during long-term follow-up. We assess the impact of drug-eluting stents in the late clinical follow-up of non-selected patients with bifurcation lesions coming from the daily clinical practice. Methods: Since May, 2002, 195 patients with bifurcation lesions were treated consecutively at two clinical centers [drugeluting stent (DES) group = 89; non drug-eluting stent (NDES) group = 106] and followed up for two years. Results: The two groups presented similar clinical profiles including mean age of 63 years and 25% with diabetes mellitus. The majority of lesions had significant involvement of the two branches (78% vs. 76%; p = 0.82), the provisional LB stent strategy was used in the majority of cases (75% DES vs. 89% NDES; p = 0.45), and the angiographic success in the lateral branch (TIMI 3 flow, residual stenosis < 50% without dissection) was achieved in 80% vs. 78% (p = 0.56) in the DES and NDES groups, respectively. After 24 months of follow-up, the DES group showed a higher survival free of TLR (97.8% vs. 82.1%; p < 0.0001), resulting in higher survival free of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) (93.3% vs. 77.4%; p = 0.003).

Introdução: A doença carotídea aterosclerótica (DCA) é responsável por 40 por cento dos acidentes vasculares cerebrais (AVC). Apesar de a intervenção carotídea percutânea (ICP) ser uma alternativa à endarterectomia, ainha há poucos dados disponíveis comparando a ICP em pacientes assintomáticos (PAS) versus sintomáticos (PS). O objetivo desta análise foi avaliar essa questão em um grupo consecutivo de pacientes. Métodos: Foram realizadas 262 ICP em 230 pacientes consecutivos, 61 (26,5 por cento) PAS versus 169 (73,5 por cento) PS. A angioplastia carotídea quantitativa (ACQ) foi realizada pré e pós-procedimento e o seguimento clínico, na fase hospitalar e aos 6 e 12 meses. Resultados: As características demográficas foram similares entre os dois grupos, sendo 31 por cento diabéticos. Obtivemos sucesso primário em 100 por cento dos casos, com ausência de complicações maiores em ambos os grupos. Na análise com ACQ, o diâmetro de estenose foi maior no grupo PAS (83,4 maior ou menos 7,6 por cento vs. 74,9 mais ou menos 12,5 por cento; p menor 0,01), mas o grupo PS apresentou lesões mais longas (18,3 mais ou menos 5,7 por cento vs. 21,7 mais ou menos 7,4 por cento; p menor 0,01). Aos 30 dias não houve diferença na incidência de AVC maior...
Background: Carotid atherosclerotic disease (CAD) is responsible for 40% of strokes. Despite percutaneous carotid intervention (PCI) is an alternative to endarterectomy, there is little data available comparing the PCI in asymptomatic vs. symptomatic patients. The purpose of this analysis was to evaluate this issue in a consecutive group of cases. Methods: 262 PCIs were conducted on 230 consecutive patients, 61 (26.5%) in asymptomatic vs. 169 (73.5%) in symptomatic patients. Quantitative carotid angiography (QCA) was performed before and after the procedure and the clinical follow-up obtained in-hospital and at 6 and 12 months. Results: The demographic characteristics were similar between groups; 31% were diabetics. Primary success was obtained in all cases, with no major complications in both groups. QCA analysis revealed a higher diameter stenosis in asymptomatics (83.4% ± 7.6% vs. 74.9% ± 12.5%; p < 0.01), but symptomatic patients had longer lesions (18.3% ± 5.7% vs. 21.7% ± 7.4%; p < 0.01). At 30 days there was no difference in the incidence of major (1.8% vs. 2.0%; p = 0.45) or minor strokes (0 vs. 1.4%; p = 0.19) for both groups. Between 1 and 12 months there have been no additional strokes. A late target vessel revascularization was observed in symptomatic patients but no neurologic deaths in both groups. Conclusion: PCI is safe and effective, with low incidence of complications at 1 and 12 months. The incidence of death, stroke and target vessel revascularization was similar between groups.

Background: We report the incidence of stent thrombosis (ST) predictors in a large cohort of complex patients treated with drug eluting stents (DES) in the real world. Methods: From May 2002 until January 2008, 2,365 non-selected patients with ≥ 1 coronary lesion with stenosis of ≥ 50% were treated with DES. The clinical follow-up up to five years (mean time 2.2 ± 1.5 years) was completed in 98.3%. Results: Twenty nine percent of patients had diabetes and 60% multi-vessel disease, 40% presented acute coronary syndrome (15%, acute myocardial infarction [AMI]). The anterior descending artery was the target vessel most frequently treated (35.8%), and 67% were complex lesions (Type B2/C). In all, 3,634 DES were implanted and 40% received multiple stents. Stent thrombosis (classification ofthe Academic Research Consortium) occurred in 1.6% (n = 38), 60.5% with angiographic confirmation, 42% occurred between 1 and 12 months and 47% of the events had a fatal outcome. The independent predictors of ST were: current smoking [relative risk (RR) 2.59; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.18-5.67; p = 0.018], AMI intervention (RR 3.50; 95% CI 1.31-9.40; p = 0.013), moderate to severe calcification (RR 2.38; 95% CI 1.34-4.23; p = 0.003), excentric lesion (RR 1.86; 95% CI 1.03-3.34; p = 0.039), > 1 DES implanted per myocardial territory (RR 1.81; 95% CI 1.09-3.02; p = 0.023), post-dilatation (RR 0.50; 95% CI 0.29-0.90; p = 0.020) and intra-stent residual stenosis [RR 1.04 (per % unit increase); 95% CI 1.01-1.06; p = 0.003].

Os stents eluidores de sirolimus (SES) reduaem significativamente a incidência de reestenose e de eventos cardíacos maiores em comparação a stents convencionais. O sirolimus A9 (BA9), um análogo do sirolimus, demosntrou eficácia e segurança simulares no estudo randomizado e controlado STEALTH I. O objetivo deste estudo é comparar a eficácia do stent eluidor de BA9 com os SES, assim como seu desempenho em relação ao respectivos grupos controle, utilizando a análise volumétrica pelo ultra-som intracoronário (3D-USIC). Método: No total, 45 pacientes foram randomizados 2:1 para o grupo submetido a implante de stents eluidores de BA9(n igual 30) ou para o grupo conrole (n igual 15). Os resultados de angiografia coronária quantitativa e 3D-USIC foram comparados a uma série histórica de pacientes submetidos a implante de SES (n igual 30) ou controle (n igual 15). As características clínicas e angiográficas foram semelhantes entre os grupos , exceto pela maior quantidade de lesões tipo C e mulheres no grupo dos stents eluidores de BA9.

Introduction: Sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) significantly reduce restenosis and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) compared to bare metal stents (BMS). The novel sirolimus analog, Biolimus A9T (BA9), presented similar safety and efficacy in the randomized, controlled STEALTH I trial. This study compared the efficacy of a BA9-eluting stent versus sirolimus-eluting and bare metal control stents. Methods: Forty-five patients with de novo coronary lesions were randomly assigned in a 2:1 basis to receive either BA9-eluting (n = 30) or bare metal (n=15) S-stents. Quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), at 6 months, were then compared to a matched series of patients who received either sirolimus-eluting (n = 30) or bare metal (n = 15) Bx Velocity stents. Baseline clinical and angiographic characteristics were similar among all groups, except for a significantly higher percentage of females and Class C lesions in the BA9-eluting stent group. Results: At 6 month follow-up, there was no significant difference in clinical outcomes between any of the groups. QCA revealed significantly lower late loss in both drug-eluting stents (DES) groups compared to bare metal controls, but no significant difference between BA9 and SES groups was observed (0.24 ± 0.39mm vs. 0.15 ± 0.38mm, p = NS). Obstruction volume measured by 3D IVUS was significantly reduced in both DES groups compared to bare metal controls, but did not differ between the BA9 and SES groups (2.23% vs. 3.30%, BA9 vs. SES, p=NS). Conclusions: BA9-eluting stents reduce neointimal hyperplasia, safely and effectively, compared to BMS, and the magnitude of this inhibition is similar to that of SES.

FUNDAMENTO: Os stents farmacológicos (SF) foram um grande avanço no tratamento da cardiopatia isquêmica, mas críticas têm sido feitas à extrapolação dos resultados favoráveis de ensaios clínicos para a prática clínica diária. OBJETIVO: Avaliar o uso dos stents farmacológicos (SF) no Brasil, entre os anos de 2000 e 2005. MÉTODOS: Por meio do banco de dados da Central Nacional de Intervenções Cardiovasculares (CENIC), da Sociedade Brasileira de Hemodinâmica e Cardiologia Intervencionista, foram analisados todos os procedimentos com uso de SF entre os anos de 2000-2005. Os grupos foram divididos nos biênios (2000-2001(A), 2002-2003 (B) e 2004-2005(C)), e as características clínicas, angiográficas e os desfechos foram comparados. Análise estatística foi realizada com teste quiquadrado ou ANOVA, sendo significativo p<0,05. RESULTADOS: No período estudado foram avaliados 154.406 procedimentos, e os SF foram utilizados em 10.426 intervenções (7 por cento do total). Observou-se progressivo e estatisticamente significativo aumento uso dos SF no período analisado: 0,14 por cento em 2000-2001, 5 por cento em 2002-2003, e 14 por cento em 2004-2005 (p<0,0001). Após 2001, observou-se aumento dos índices de sucesso (96,58 por cento em 2000-2001 (A), 99,69 por cento em 2002-2003 (B) e 99,56 em 2004-2005 (C), A x B com p<0,001; B x C com p=0,015) e redução nas taxas de óbito hospitalar (1,59 por cento no grupo A, 0,38 por cento no grupo B, 0,66 por cento no grupo C, p=0,59 para A x B; e p<0,0001 para B x C). CONCLUSÃO: O uso dos SF no Brasil cresceu significativamente nos últimos anos, com melhora dos índices de sucesso e diminuição do óbito hospitalar.
BACKGROUND: Drug-eluting stents (DES) represent a major advance in the management of ischemic heart disease, but the extrapolation of favorable results from clinical trials to the real-world practice has been criticized. OBJECTIVE: To assess the use of DES in Brazil between 2000 and 2005. METHODS: Using the database of the National Registry of Cardiovascular Interventions (CENIC - Central Nacional de Intervenções Cardiovasculares) of the Brazilian Society of Hemodynamics and Interventional Cardiology (SBHCI - Sociedade Brasileira de Hemodinâmica e Cardiologia Intervencionista), all PCI procedures with DES implantation performed between 2000 and 2005 were analyzed. The groups were divided into the following biennia: 2000-2001(A), 2002-2003 (B), and 2004-2005 (C), and patient's clinical and angiographic characteristics were compared, as well as their short-term clinical outcome. Statistical analyses were performed using the chi-square test or ANOVA, and p values of less than 0.05 were considered to be statistically significant. RESULTS: A total of 154,406 PCI procedures were studied, and DES was used in 10,426 (7 percent) interventions. A progressive and statistically significant increase was found in the use of DES during the period studied: 0.14 percent from 2000 to 2001, 5 percent from 2002 to 2003, and 14 percent from 2004 to 2005 (p < 0.0001). After 2001, there was an increase in success rates (96.58 percent in 2000-2001 (A), 99.69 percent in 2002-2003 (B), and 99.56 percent in 2004-2005 (C), A x B with p < 0.001; B x C with p = 0.015) and a decrease in hospital mortality rates (1.59 percent in group A, 0.38 percent in group B, and 0.66 percent in group C, with p = 0.59 for A x B and p < 0.0001 for B x C). CONCLUSION: In Brazil, the use of drug-eluting stents increased significantly during recent years, resulting in higher success rates and lower hospital mortality.

Introdução: Aposição incompleta (AI) é descrita após implante de stents farmacológicos (SF) e pode associar-se à trombose de stents. Em razão de diferentes plataformas, polímeros e fármacos utilizados, diferenças na eficácia e na segurança entre SF também são esperadas. Objetivo: Avaliar a incidência de AI persistente e tardia após implante de stents com sirolimus (SES) e com zotarolimus (ZES) e a evolução dos pacientes que apresentem essa alteração. Método: Análise de 242 pacientes tratados com SF (175 pacientes com SES Cypher® e 67 pacientes com ZES Endeavor) e submetidos a ultra-sonografia intracoronária após o implante e aos seis meses. Resultados: No grupo tratado com SES, 7 (4%) pacientes apresentaram AI tardia e 12 (6,8%), AI persistente. No grupo tratado com ZES, nenhum caso de AI tardia foi identificado e, em 4 pacientes, observou-se AI após o implante e que desapareceu aos seis meses. Nos pacientes com AI tardia, observou-se aumento evolutivo dos volumes do vaso (de 377,2 ± 148,9 mm3 para 431,9 ± 155,1 mm3; p = 0,51)e da placa (de 206,1 ± 51,5 mm3 para 236,9 ± 68,4 mm3; p = 0,36). O volume de hiperplasia intimal foi maior após ZES (16,6 ± 5,8 mm3 vs. 5,1 ± 5,5 mm3; p < 0,0001). Após nove meses, não ocorreram eventos cardíacos adversos nos pacientes com AI. Conclusão: A incidência de AI tardia foi de 2,9% e observada após SES. A presença de AI não esteve relacionada a eventos adversos a médio prazo.
Background: Incomplete stent apposition (ISA) has been documented after drug-eluting stents (DES) and could be related to stent thrombosis. Because DES differ in metal platform, polymer and pharmacological agent, differences in performance and safety are expected. Objective: We sought to investigate the frequency and clinical consequences of ISA after implantation of sirolimus- (SES) and zotarolimuseluting stents (ZES). Methods: 242 patients (pts) who underwent DES placement (175 pts with Cypher® and 67 pts with EndeavorTM stents) had serial intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) performed (at index procedure and after 6-months). Results: 7 pts (4%) had late-acquired ISA after SES. Another 12 (6.8%) pts treated with SES had persistent ISA. Among pts treated with ZES, none had late ISA and 4 had ISA observed after stent implantation that completely resolved at 6-months. There was an increase in vessel (377.2 ± 148.9 to 431.9 ± 155.1 mm3, p = 0.51) and in plaque volume (206.1 ± 51.53 to 236.91 ± 68.4 mm3, p=0.36) in pts with late ISA. Amount of neointimal hyperplasia was significantly higher in ZES than SES (16.6 ± 5.8 mm3 vs 5.1 ± 5.5 mm3, p < 0.0001). After 9 months, no adverse clinical event was observed in pts with ISA. Conclusion: Overall incidence of IVUS-detected late incomplete DES apposition was 2.9%, all after SES. The presence of ISA was not related to clinical adverse events during mid term follow-up.

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: C-reactive protein (CRP) is an inflammatory marker that predicts cardiac events in patients with coronary syndromes. However, data on the relationship between the CRP level and in-stent restenosis are contradictory. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between the basal CRP level and the neointimal hyperplasia volume measured by intracoronary ultrasound 4 months after implantation of a zotarolimus-eluting stent. METHODS: The study included 40 consecutive patients who underwent zotarolimus-eluting stent implantation. Patients were divided into quartiles according to their preprocedural CRP level. Intracoronary ultrasound was performed after stent implantation and at 4 months, and the neointimal hyperplasia volume was determined using Simpson's rule. Correlation and linear regression analyses were used to evaluate the relationships between variables. Multivariate analysis was used to identify variables that were independently related to neointimal hyperplasia volume. RESULTS: The patients' mean age was 58 (8) years, 55% were male, and 40% had diabetes mellitus. There was no difference in baseline characteristics between the quartiles. The hyperplasia volumes were 4.8 (4.2) microl and 15.8 (10.0) microl in the first and fourth quartiles, respectively (P< .001). There was a significant positive correlation between the CRP level and neointimal hyperplasia volume (r = 0.64, P=.0001). The CRP level, the postimplantation lumen volume, and the final deployment pressure were all independent predictors of neointimal hyperplasia. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, an independent correlation was observed between the CRP level before zotarolimus-eluting stent implantation and the neointimal hyperplasia volume at 4-month follow-up.

Introducción y objetivos. La proteína C reactiva (PCR) es un marcador inflamatorio predictor de eventos cardiacos en los síndromes coronarios; sin embargo, existe evidencia contradictoria sobre su relación con la reestenosis intra-stent. El objetivo es evaluar la asociación entre la concentración sérica de PCR basal y el volumen de hiperplasia neointimal por ecografía intracoronaria a los 4 meses tras el implante de stents con zotarolimus. Métodos. Se incluyó a 40 pacientes tratados consecutivamente con stent liberador de zotarolimus. Se determinó el valor de PCR antes del procedimiento y de acuerdo con éste se agrupó a la población en cuartiles. Se realizó ecografía intracoronaria tras el implante y a los 4 meses, evaluando el volumen de hiperplasia neointimal por la fórmula de Simpson. Para relacionar las variables se utilizaron análisis de correlación y regresión lineal. Se realizó un análisis de regresión múltiple de las variables relacionadas de forma independiente con el volumen neointimal. Resultados. La edad media fue 58 ± 8 años, el 55% eran varones y el 40% tenía diabetes, sin diferencias en las características basales entre los grupos. El volumen de hiperplasia fue 4,8 ± 4,2 µl y 15,8 ± 10 µl para el primer y el cuarto cuartil respectivamente (p < 0,001). Existió correlación positiva entre la PCR y el volumen neointimal (r = 0,64; p = 0,0001). La PCR, el volumen luminal postimplante y la presión de liberación fueron predictores independientes de hiperplasia neointimal. Conclusiones. En este estudio observamos que el valor de la PCR antes del implante de stent con zotarolimus se correlacionó de forma independiente con el volumen de hiperplasia neointimal a los 4 meses de seguimiento (AU)
