Backgrounds: The present study in angulated coronary stenosis was to evaluate the influence of velocity and wall shear stress (WSS) on coronary atherosclerosis, the changes of hemodynamic indices following coronary stenting, as well as their effect of evolving in-stent restenosis using human in vivo hemodynamic parameters and computed simulation quantitatively and qualitatively. Methods: Initial and follow-up coronary angiographies in the patients with angulated coronary stenosis were performed (n=80). Optimal coronary stenting in angulated coronary stenosis had two models: < 50 % angle changed(model 1, n=43), > 50% angle changed group (model 2, n=37) according to percent change of vascular angle between pre- and post-intracoronary stenting. Flow-velocity wave obtained from in vivo intracoronary Doppler study data was used for in vitro numerical simulation. Spatial and temporal patterns of velocity vector and recirculation area were drawn throughout the selected segment of coronary models. WSS of pre/post-intracoronary stenting were calculated from three-dimensional computer simulation. Results: Follow-up coronary angiogram demonstrated significant difference in the percent of diameter stenosis between two groups (group 1: $40.3{\pm}30.2$ vs. group 2: $25.5{\pm}22.5%$, p<0.05). Negative WSS area on 3D simulation, which is consistent with re-circulation area of velocity vector, was noted on the inner wall of post-stenotic area before stenting. The negative WSS was disappeared after stenting. High spatial and temporal WSS before stenting fell into within physiologic WSS after stenting. This finding was prominent in Model 2 (p<0.01) Conclusions: The present study suggests that hemodynamic forces exerted by pulsatile coronary circulation termed as WSS might affect on the evolution of atherosclerosis within the angulated vascular curvature. Moreover, geometric change, such as angular difference between pre / post-intracoronary stenting might give proper information of optimal hemodynamic charateristics for vascular repair after stenting.

미세단층촬영기법은 전임상 동물실험 분석시 고해상도의 혈관 영상화를 위한 중요한 수단이다. 이는 조직 분석과 같이 샘플 훼손이 예상되는 분석 작업 이전에 비파괴적인 방법으로 2차원 또는 3차원 이미지 재구성할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 생체 이식용 의료기기인 스텐트를 동물모델에서 전임상 분석을 하는데 있어 미세단층촬영기법의 활용방법을 제시하고 금속 스텐트(BMS)와 약물(paclitaxel)이 코팅된 스텐트(DES)의 스텐트 내 재협착정도(ISR)를 토끼 모델을 이용하여 평가하고자 하였다. BMS와 DES를 무작위적으로 토끼의 장골동맥에 식립하고 4주 후에 스텐트가 식립된 주위 혈관을 적출한 다음 스텐트 내강에 조영제를 투여하였다. 미세단층촬영기를 이용하여 50kV/200μA의 X-ray 조사량으로 샘플을 스캔하였다. 정량적 분석을 위해 CTAN 소프트웨어를 이용하여 관심영역을 지정하여 정량적 분석을 수행하였다. 피폭 대상에 따라 각기 다른 CT값(Hounsfied Unit)을 획득할 수 있었으며(스텐트 영역; 약 1.2, 조영제 영역; 0.12~0.17, X-ray 비흡수 영역; 0~0.06), 이를 이용하여 2차원, 3차원적 영상을 획득하고 스텐트 내 재협착 면적을 산출하였다. 조직병리학적 분석의 염증지수에 해당할 수 있는 확장된 스텐트의 크기를 측정하였을 때 BMS와 DES간의 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 또한 BMS 그룹의 ISR(1.52 ± 0.48mm2)이 DES의 ISR(0.94 ± 0.42mm2)에 비해 약 1.6배 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 이는 DES에 코팅된 paclitaxel이 세포 증식을 억제하여 스텐트 내강으로 증식하는 것을 저해하였기 때문으로 판단된다. 2차원적 분석 결과 BMS의 재협착 분포는 스텐트 중간 영역에서 전면부와 후면부에 비해 비교적 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 연구 결과로 볼 때 미세단층촬영기법은 비파괴적인 방법으로 분석이 가능하며 정량적 분석을 위한 기존의 복잡한 조직병리학적 분석법의 보조적인 수단으로 활용될 수 있을 것이다. Micro-computed tomography (microCT) is an important tool for preclinical vascular imaging, with micron-level resolution. This non-destructive means of imaging allows for rapid collection of 2D and 3D reconstructions to visualize specimens prior to destructive analysis such as pathological analysis. Objectives. The aim of this study was to suggest a method for ex vivo, postmortem examination of stented arterial segments with microCT. And ex vivo evaluation of stents such as bare metal or drug eluting stents on in-stent restenosis (ISR) in rabbit model was performed. The bare metal stent (BMS) and drug eluting stent(DES, paclitaxel) were implanted in the left or right iliac arteries alternatively in eight New Zealand white rabbits. After 4 weeks of post-implantation, the part of iliac arteries surrounding the stent were removed carefully and processed for microCT. Prior to microCT analysis, a contrast medium was loaded to lumen of stents. All samples were subjected to an X-ray source operating at 50 kV and 200 μA by using a 3D isotropic resolution. The region of interest was traced and measured by CTAN analytical software. Objects being exposed to radiation had different Hounsfield unit each other with values of approximately 1.2 at stent area, 0.12 ~ 0.17 at a contrast medium and 0 ~ 0.06 at outer area of stent. Based on above, further analyses were performed. As a result, the difference of lengths and volumes between expanded stents, which may relate to injury score in pathological analysis, was not different significantly. Moreover, ISR area of BMS was 1.6 times higher than that of DES, indicating that paclitaxel has inhibitory effect on cell proliferation and prevent infiltration of restenosis into lumen of stent. And ISR area of BMS was higher (1.52 ± 0.48mm2) than that of DES (0.94 ± 0.42mm2), indicating that paclitaxel has inhibitory effect on cell proliferation and prevent infiltration of restenosis into lumen of stent. Though it was not statistically significant, it showed that the extent of neointema of mid-region of stents was relatively higher than that of anterior and posterior region in parts of BMS as showing cross-sectional 2-D image. Conclusions. MicroCT enables the non-constructive postmortem analysis of stented arteries. These results suggest that microCT can be utilized as an accessorial tool for pathological analysis.

Stent fracture (SF) has been implicated as a risk factor for in-stent restenosis, but its incidence and clinical characteristics are not well established. Therefore we investigated the conditions associated with stent fracture and its clinical presentation and outcome. Between 2004 and 2007, consecutive cases of SF were collected from the Seoul National University Hospital. Clinical characteristics and outcome of patients with fractured stents were compared with a ten-fold cohort of age and gender matched controls (n = 236). A total of 4,845 patients received percutaneous coronary intervention and 3,315 patients (68.4%) underwent angiographic follow-up. Twenty-eight fractured stents were observed in 24 patients. The incidence of SF was 0.89% for sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) and 0.09%for paclitaxel-eluting stents. Chronic kidney disease, stent implantation in the right coronary artery (RCA), and SES use were independent predictors of drug-eluting stent fracture by multivariate analysis. SF was significantly associated with binary restenosis (11.4% vs 41.7%, P < 0.001) and increased risk of target lesion revascularization (8.1% vs 33.3%, P = 0.001). Patients with SF but without significant restenosis showed excellent outcome despite only medical treatment. In conclusion, SF is associated with increased rates of restenosis and repeat revascularization. Significant risk factors include chronic kidney disease, RCA intervention, and SES use.

In patients with coronary artery disease, coronary stenting with a drug-eluting stent (DES) is associated with lower rates of in-stent restenosis and re-surgery for the target lesion compared with a bare metal stent, while late stent thrombosis has emerged as a life-threatening complication in patients treated with a first-generation DES. As no treatment has been established for potentially fatal late stent thrombosis associated with a first-generation DES, we perform drug balloon angioplasty for patients with stent thrombosis and in-stent restenosis associated with DES. Here, we reported the cases with normal coronary artery flow after a 2-year follow-up. (Korean J Med 2015;88:690-695)

Dual Drug and Peptide-coated Stents

박준규,강소영,손동희,변대흥,김태훈 한국공업화학회 2019 한국공업화학회 연구논문 초록집 Vol.2019 No.1

Coronary arterial stenting with drug-eluting stents (DES) is a primary treatment method for coronary arterial diseases in current interventional cardiology practice. It has been reported that dual DES can overcome the problems of single DES, including in-stent restenosis, thrombosis, and anti-endothelialization. The aim of this study was to compare the pathological results between a basic and an inverse dual drug-coated system. In this work, we report on the in vitro characterization of a coated stent, dual DES, implanted in a porcine coronary artery, in an effort to shed more light on dual DES. The sequence of drug coating onto BMS may affect the various physiobiological properties of stents, such as the surface morphology, drug release kinetics, and drug release time point. Inverse dual DES was more effective in the prevention of neointimal proliferation compared with basic coating DES.

약물용출 스텐트(drug-eluting stents, DES)는 일반 금속 스텐트에 비하여 재협착을 현저하게 줄였지만, 여전히 관상동맥 스텐트 재협착은 비율이 높다. 2012년 11월부터 2016년 12월까지의 일 대학교병원 심혈관센터에서 경피적 관상동맥 스텐트 삽입술 후 관상동맥 조영술에서 스텐트 재협착 환자 187명 그룹 I (약물코팅 풍선카테터 사용, n=127명), 그룹 II (약물용출 스텐트 사용, n=60명)로 분류하여 치료효과, 주요심장사건, 사망 발생률, 심근경색, 표적병변 재개통술 그리고 스텐트 혈전등을 2년 동안 추적 분석하였다. 임상적 특성는 두 그룹간 차이는 없었고(21.1 ± 5.3 vs. 25.3 ± 9.6 mm, p<0.002), 혈관조영검사에서 약물코팅 풍선카테터 사용 그룹에서 스텐트 재협착 길이가 짧았다. 주요심장사건은 8.7%vs.10.0%, p=0.789, 사망발생률0%vs.0%,p=1.000, 심근경색 1.6%vs.6.7%, p=0.085, 표적병변 재개통술 8.7% vs. 10.0%, p=0.789 그리고 스텐트 혈전증 0% vs. 0%, p=1000에서 양군 간에 차이를 보이지 않았다. 약물코팅 풍선카테터가 약물방출 스텐트와 비교하여 2년 추적 검사 결과 주요심장사건에서 차이가 없었고, 약물코팅 풍선카테터는 스텐트 재협착 병변에서 약물방출 스텐트와 함께 선택할 수 있는 좋은 치료방법이라고 사료된다. Although the development of Drug-eluting stent (DES) improved the ISR significantly more than the Bare metal stent (BMS), the coronary stent restenosis (ISR) treatment still has a high recurrence rate. This study is compared the efficacy of DEB with that of DES implantation in patients with ISR. Among 4,316 patients who underwent coronary stent implantation at the Chonnam National University Hospital between November 2012 and December 2016, 187 patients developed ISR on follow-up coronary angiography (66.3 ± 11.0 years, 123 males) were enrolled and divided into two groups according to revascularization method as group I (DEB group; n= 127) and group II (DES group; n= 60). Primary end point was defined as major adverse cardiac events (MACEs), composite of cardiac death (CD), myocardial infaction (MI), target lesion revascularization (TLR) and stent thrombosis (ST) during two-year follow-up between the two groups. There were no differences in the baseline characteristics and angiographic findings except that prevalence of device length was shorter (21.1 ± 5.3 vs. 25.3 ± 9.6 mm, p<0.002) in group I.Two-year MACE were not different in the two groups (8.7%vs.10.0%, p=0.789). The incidences of cardiac death (0%vs.0%, p=1.000), MI (1.6%vs.6.7%, p=0.085), TLR(8.7% vs. 10.0%, p=0.789) and ST (0% vs. 0%, p=1000). DEB demonstrated comparable risk reduction for MACEs compared with DES in patients with ISR during two-year follow-up. DEB might be good alternative for the treatment of ISR in patients with ISR

Junhyung Kim,반승필,Young Deok Kim,권오기 대한뇌혈관외과학회 2020 Journal of Cerebrovascular and Endovascular Neuros Vol.22 No.4

Objective: Implantation of drug-eluting stents (DES) for extra- and intracranial atherosclerotic stenoses is an emerging topic. It has the potential benefit of preventing recurrent stroke with a reduced rate of in-stent restenosis (ISR). Methods: Patients who underwent extra- or intracranial stenting using DES in a single institution were retrospectively reviewed with long-term angiographic and clinical follow-up data. Results: Twenty-one patients, 9 (42.9%) with extracranial lesions and 12 (57.1%) with intra­cranial lesions, were included. The most common symptom was cerebral infarction (71.4%), followed by vertebrobasilar insufficiency (19.1%) and transient ischemic attack (9.5%). All patients achieved technical success, with the mean degree of stenosis of 85.9±6.3% before the procedure and 19.5±5.9% after the procedure. All patients showed clinical improvement and no symptomatic recurrence was reported during the mean clinical follow-up period of 45.5±8.9 months. The significant ISR was observed in one patient (4.8%) during the mean radiological follow-up period of 42.8±10.0 months. Conclusions: Implantation of drug-eluting stents for symptomatic extra- and intracranial atherosclerotic stenoses is feasible and has the potential benefit of re­ducing the rate of ISR.

이 연구는 스텐트 내 재협착 병변에서 약물용출 풍선 확장술을 시행한 환자를 대상으로 주요 심장사건에 영향을 미치는 예측 인자가 무엇인지 알아보고자 하였다. 2012년 10월부터 2017년 1월까지 전남대학교병원 심혈관센터에서 경피적 관상동맥 삽입술 후 스텐트 내 재협착이 발생한 환자 중에서 약물용출 풍선 확장술을 시행 받은 환자 257명 (평균연령 66.1±10.1세, 남자 172명)을 대상으로 그룹 I (주요 심장사건 발생군, n=35명), 그룹 II (주요 심장사건 발생하지 않은 군, n=222명)로 나누어 분류 하였다. 약물용출 풍선 성형술 후 주요 심장사건의 독립적인 예측 인자를 보기 위한 다변량 분석에서 완전 폐쇄병변 형태의 재협착 형태 (HR=4.179, 95% C.I.=1.851-9.437 p= 0.001), 25 mm이상의 긴 병변 (HR=8.773, 95% C.I.=1.898-40.546 p= 0.005), 반복되는 스텐트 내 재협착 (HR=4.693, 95% C.I.=1.259-17.490 p= 0.021)이 독립적인 예측 인자로 판명되었다. The aim of this study was to investigate the predictors of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in patients with drug-eluting balloon (DEB) for in-stent restenosis (ISR) lesion. Total of 257 patients who developed ISR on follow-up coronary angiography (66.1 ± 10.1years, 172 males) in Chonnam National University Hospital between October 2012 and January 2017 were enrolled. We divided the patients into two groups; group I (MACE group; n= 35) and group II (No MACE group; n= 222). A multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that type IV ISR (HR=4.179, 95% C.I.=1.851-9.437 p= 0.001), lesion length > 25 mm (HR=8.773, 95% C.I.=1.898-40.546 p= 0.005), number of ISR recurrence > 2 (HR=4.693, 95% C.I.=1.259-17.490 p= 0.021) were independent factors for MACE after DEB in ISR lesions.
