RESUMO
The identification and management of patients at high bleeding risk (HBR) undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) are of major importance, but the lack of standardised definitions is challenging for trial design, data interpretation, and clinical decision-making. The Valve Academic Research Consortium for High Bleeding Risk (VARC-HBR) is a collaboration among leading research organisations, regulatory authorities, and physician-scientists from Europe, the USA, and Asia, with a major focus on TAVI-related bleeding. VARC-HBR is an initiative of the CERC (Cardiovascular European Research Center), aiming to develop a consensus definition of TAVI patients at HBR, based on a systematic review of the available evidence, to provide consistency for future clinical trials, clinical decision-making, and regulatory review. This document represents the first pragmatic approach to a consistent definition of HBR evaluating the safety and effectiveness of procedures, devices and drug regimens for patients undergoing TAVI..

Studies utilizing intravascular imaging have replicated the findings of histopathological studies, identifying the most common substrates for acute coronary syndromes (ACS) as plaque rupture, erosion, and calcified nodule, with spontaneous coronary artery dissection, coronary artery spasm, and coronary embolism constituting the less common etiologies. The purpose of this review is to summarize the data from clinical studies that have used high-resolution intravascular optical coherence tomography (OCT) to assess culprit plaque morphology in ACS. In addition, we discuss the utility of intravascular OCT for effective treatment of patients presenting with ACS, including the possibility of culprit lesion-based treatment by percutaneous coronary intervention.

AIM: To evaluate healing response at strut-level and cross-section level after implanting an ultra-thin strut, everolimus-eluting stent with biodegradable polymer (Tetrilimus) using optical coherence tomography (OCT) at 3 and 6 months. METHODS: This was prospective, multi-centre, single-arm, and investigator-initiated study performed at seven Indian sites between January, 2017 and September, 2018. OCT evaluations were performed in 57 patients who underwent Tetrilimus stent implantation. Follow-up OCT was scheduled at 3 months for first 16 patients and at 6 months for 41 patients. Primary outcomes included degree of strut coverage, malapposition and thickness of neointimal hyperplasia (NIH) over covered struts. RESULTS: Sixty one Tetrilimus stents were implanted to treat 59 lesions in 57 patients. Paired (baseline and follow-up) OCT data was available for 12 patients and 30 patients at 3 and 6 months, respectively. At 3 months, rapid early healing was indicated by 95.48% covered struts per lesion with very low (0.11 ± 0.06 mm) NIH. At 6 months, NIH accumulation was greater (0.21 ± 0.07 mm) as compared to 3 months. 99.77% of struts per lesion were covered at 6 months. There was a very symmetrical healing as shown by very low eccentricity index. There was no difference in vascular healing between stents with small to moderate size vessels (≤3.00 mm) and large size vessels (>3.00 mm). CONCLUSION: Present study demonstrated nearly complete endothelization and low NIH accumulation at 3 and 6 months following implantation of ultra-thin strut everolimus-eluting biodegradable polymer-coated Tetrilimus stent. Moreover, though being an ultra-thin strut stent, there was no difference in vascular healing and eccentricity after implantation of the Tetrilimus stents with smaller and larger diameters.

The transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is an established treatment for patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS) at prohibitive risk for surgery. It is an alternative treatment to surgical aortic valve replacement in patients with AS at intermediate- and high-surgical risk. Although regulatory authorities extend the indications of TAVR to treat patients at low-surgical risk, the limitations of earlier-generation transcatheter heart valve (THV) systems accelerate the development of improved newer generation of THV systems. Myval™ THV (Meril Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd., Vapi, Gujarat, India) is a newer-generation, balloon-expandable TAVR system with features that facilitate accurate positioning of the bioprosthetic valve and favorable procedural and clinical outcomes. This review summarizes existing preclinical and clinical data on Myval THV for the intervention of symptomatic native AS and lays out the plan for future research program.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement has revolutionised the treatment of aortic valve disease. The Myval™ device (Meril Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd., Gujarat, India) is a CE-marked, next-generation balloon-expandable transcatheter heart valve, designed for the treatment of severe aortic valve stenosis. This review illustrates the salient technical features of this transcatheter valve, pre-clinical studies and evidence from the first-in-human trial. We also provide a brief overview of planned clinical trials and registries.
RESUMO
AIMS: The MeRes-1 trial sought to study the safety and effectiveness of a novel sirolimus-eluting bioresorbable vascular scaffold (MeRes100 BRS) in treating de novo native coronary artery lesions by clinical evaluation and using multiple imaging modalities. METHODS AND RESULTS: The MeRes-1 first-in-human trial was a single-arm, prospective, multicentre study, which enrolled 108 patients with de novo coronary artery lesions (116 scaffolds were deployed to treat 116 lesions in 108 patients). At six months, quantitative coronary angiography revealed in-scaffold late lumen loss of 0.15±0.23 mm with 0% binary restenosis. Optical coherence tomography demonstrated minimum scaffold area (6.86±1.73 mm2) and percentage neointimal strut coverage (99.30%). Quantitative intravascular ultrasound analysis confirmed a 0.14±0.16 mm2 neointimal hyperplasia area. At one year, major adverse cardiac events, a composite of cardiac death, any myocardial infarction and ischaemia-driven target lesion revascularisation, occurred in only one patient (0.93%) and there was no scaffold thrombosis reported. At one year, computed tomography angiography demonstrated that all scaffolds were patent and in-scaffold mean percentage area stenosis was 11.33±26.57%. CONCLUSIONS: The MeRes-1 trial demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of MeRes100 BRS. The favourable clinical outcomes and effective vascular responses have provided the basis for further studies in a larger patient population. The MeRes-1 trial is registered at the Clinical Trials Registry-India.

AIM: To assess the prevalence of suboptimal bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS, Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, California) deployment in real world practice with intracoronary optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging. METHODS: Consecutive patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention using BVS and the final optimization assessed with OCT imaging in two tertiary care centers between December 2012 and February 2015 were evaluated for parameters of suboptimal scaffold deployment by OCT. RESULTS: Overall, 36 scaffolds were implanted in 27 patients during this period. Mean age of the population was 54.7±8.2years and 19 (70.4%) were type B2/C lesions. The prevalence of parameters of suboptimal scaffold deployment were: underexpansion-22(61.1%), geographic miss-3(8.3%), tissue prolapse-7(25.9%), scaffold pattern irregularity-1(2.8%), longitudinal elongation-7(38.8%). Of the 7 overlaps imaged: excessive overlap was observed in 3 and scaffold gap in one. The median duration of follow up was 679days (range 193-963days). There were four events during this period. None were associated with suboptimal scaffold deployment. CONCLUSION: OCT based parameters of suboptimal scaffold deployment are common in real world scenario and were not associated with adverse outcomes on long term follow up. These findings need to be confirmed in larger studies.
