Time course of vascular response after an a priori strategy of bare metal stent implantation post-dilated with a paclitaxel-coated balloon: Implementation of a three-dimensional analysis algorithm with optical coherence tomography
Abstract:Background: An a priori combined therapy of a bare metal stent post-dilated with a paclitaxel--coated balloon (PCB) was investigated with optical coherence tomography (OCT) at p = 0.001; uncovered struts: 14.5 ± 14.8% vs. 2.0 ± 5.3%, p = 0.001 (Cardiol J 2016; 23, 3: 296-306)
“…This could also explain the similar outcomes observed in our patients with or without dissection. A similar study on the time course of vascular response after implantation of bare‐metal stents after DCB dilation showed transient, severe, incomplete strut apposition after the procedure . A meta‐analysis comparing the outcomes of bare‐metal stent implantation after DCB with DES treatment also suggested that bail‐out stenting may be a predictor of poor late lumen loss and MACE .…”

“…12 Briefly, the RESTORE SVD China study was a prospective, randomized, open-label, multicenter trial in which 230 eligible patients with visually-estimated reference vessel diameter (RVD) ≥2. 25 and ≤2.75 mm were randomized to undergo PCI with RESTORE DCB (Cardionovum, Bonn, Germany) or RESO-LUTE Integrity DES (Medtronic, Minneapolis, Minnesota) implantation in a 1:1 ratio stratified by diabetes and the number of lesions treated.…”
Objectives
To report the clinical outcomes of the RESTORE drug‐coated balloon (DCB; Cardionovum, Bonn, Germany) for treatment of de novo small vessel disease (SVD) beyond 1 year.
Background
Previous reports have demonstrated the noninferiority of the RESTORE DCB to the RESOLUTE Integrity drug‐eluting stent (DES; Medtronic, Minneapolis, Minnesota) in terms of 9‐month in‐segment percent diameter stenosis.
Methods
In the prospective, multicenter, noninferiority RESTORE SVD China trial, 230 patients with visually‐estimated reference vessel diameter (RVD) ≥2.25 and ≤2.75 mm were randomized to DCB or DES in a 1:1 ratio stratified by diabetes and number of lesions treated. Furthermore, 32 patients with RVD ≥2.00 and <2.25 mm were enrolled in a nested very small vessel (VSV) registry. Clinical follow‐up were performed at 2 years to evaluate target lesion failure (TLF) in both groups and the VSV cohort.
Results
Overall, 256 (97.7%) patients (115 and 109 in the DCB and DES groups, respectively, and 32 in the VSV cohort) completed 2 years of follow‐up. There was no significant difference in TLF between the DCB and DES groups (5.2 vs. 3.7%, p = .75). Target lesion revascularization was acceptable at 1 month, 1 year, and 2 years, and did not differ significantly with DCB from that in the DES group (0.9 vs. 0%, p = 1.0, 4.4 vs. 2.6%, p = .72, 5.2 vs. 2.8%, p = .50, respectively).
Conclusions
Compared to the second‐generation DES, the RESTORE DCB did not increase the risk of clinical outcomes. Late catch‐up phenomen requiring revascularization was not significant in this study.

“…The OCTOPUS trial, which used optical coherence tomography, reported that DCB + BMS was associated with more pronounced neointimal proliferation than DES. [23,34] The IVUS study used intravascular ultrasound also showed more pronounced neointimal hyperplasia in the DCB + BMS group, leading to more revascularization than that in the DES group. [35] The reason for this finding is not yet satisfactorily explained.…”
Background:Studies examining the efficiency of drug-coated balloon (DCB) + bare metal stent (BMS) compared with stents alone for de novo lesions have reported inconsistent results. The present comprehensive meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessed and compared the clinical efficacy and safety of DCB + BMS with those of stents alone for de novo coronary artery disease.Methods:We formally searched electronic databases before September 2016 to identify potential studies. All RCTs were eligible for inclusion if they compared DCB + BMS with a control treatment (drug-eluting stent [DES] alone or BMS alone) in patients with de novo coronary artery disease.Results:Eleven RCTs with a total of 2196 patients met the inclusion criteria were included in our meta-analysis. Subgroup analysis indicated DCB plus BMS was associated with poorer outcomes when compared with DES alone in primary endpoint {(in-segment late lumen loss [LLL]: mean difference [MD], 0.19; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.06–0.32; P = 0.0042) and (major adverse cardiovascular events [MACEs]: risk ratio [RR], 1.88; 95% CI, 1.44–2.45; P < 0.0001)}. However, DCB + BMS had nonsignificantly lower LLL than BMS alone (in-segment LLL: MD, −0.14; 95% CI, −0.33–0.04; P = 0.24), and was more advantageous in reducing MACE incidence, with borderline significance (MACEs: RR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.45–0.99; P = 0.05).Conclusions:In summary, the present results do not favor the DCB + BMS strategy as an alternative therapeutic method to DES implantation for de novo coronary artery lesions in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Additional well-designed large RCTs with long-follow-up periods are required to clarify the inconsistent results.
“…However, properties of DCB´s should not be understood as “class effects” [28]. Current evidence for vessel wall expansion is the strongest for paclitaxel and is histologically proven as media wall thinning and cell necrosis in addition to inhibition of smooth muscle cells [18, 29–31]. Out of the available paclitaxel-coated balloons, the Sequent Please™ DCB used in this study has been best investigated.…”

“…OCT images were acquired with an automated pullback of 20 mm/s (St. Jude Medical Ilumien™), analyzed offline and blinded to the coronary angiogram. A computational algorithm was applied for dissection and plaque analysis as described before: Plaque morphology was assessed according to the international consensus [17, 18]. Plaques and dissections were manually traced in each cross section, and according volumes were computed through the integral of cross-sectional measurements.…”
BackgroundPercutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) with drug-coated balloons (DCB) might be a promising trade-off between balloon angioplasty and drug-eluting stents, since DCB inhibit neointimal proliferation and limit duration of dual antiplatelet therapy. We investigated the safety, feasibility, and 6-month results of fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided use of the paclitaxel-coated SeQuent Please® balloon without stenting for elective PCI of de novo lesions.Methods and resultsIn 46 patients (54 lesions) with stable symptomatic coronary artery disease (CAD), a FFR-guided POBA (plain old balloon angioplasty) was performed. In case of a sufficient POBA result with residual stenosis < 40 %, FFR > 0.8 and no severe dissection, the target lesion was finally dilated using the DCB. Quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) was performed before and after the index procedure and at 6-month follow-up (f/u) to calculate late lumen loss (LLL) and net luminal gain (NLG). Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was performed at f/u to assess vascular remodeling. DCB-only treatment was applied to 43 patients (51 lesions), while 3 patients (3 lesions) needed provisional stenting. Invasive f/u was completed in 39 patients (47 lesions). At the stenotic site, the lumen diameter showed a trend toward progressive increase at f/u (LLL: −0.13 ± 0.44 mm, n.s.; NLG: 1.10 ± 0.53 mm, p < 0.001) without aneurysm formation or restenosis after DCB-only treatment.ConclusionsFFR-guided DCB-only PCI of de novo lesions appeared feasible and safe in stable CAD with clopidogrel discontinuation after 4 weeks, showing a trend toward positive vessel remodeling without lumen loss at 6 months.Clinical trial registration http://www.clinicaltrials.gov.
