Project description:Background Despite favorable outcomes of surgical pulmonary artery (PA) reconstruction, isolated proximal stenting of the central PAs is common clinical practice for patients with peripheral PA stenosis in association with Williams and Alagille syndromes. Given the technical challenges of PA reconstruction and the morbidities associated with transcatheter interventions, the hemodynamic consequences of all treatment strategies must be rigorously assessed. Our study aims to model, assess, and predict hemodynamic outcomes of transcatheter interventions in these patients. Methods and Results Isolated proximal and "extensive" interventions (stenting and/or balloon angioplasty of proximal and lobar vessels) were performed in silico on 6 patient-specific PA models. Autoregulatory adaptation of the cardiac output and downstream arterial resistance was modeled in response to intervention-induced hemodynamic perturbations. Postintervention computational fluid dynamics predictions were validated in 2 stented patients and quantitatively assessed in 4 surgical patients. Our computational methods accurately predicted postinterventional PA pressures, the primary indicators of success for treatment of peripheral PA stenosis. Proximal and extensive treatment achieved median reductions of 14% and 40% in main PA systolic pressure, 27% and 56% in pulmonary vascular resistance, and 10% and 45% in right ventricular stroke work, respectively. Conclusions In patients with Williams and Alagille syndromes, extensive transcatheter intervention is required to sufficiently reduce PA pressures and right ventricular stroke work. Transcatheter therapy was shown to be ineffective for long-segment stenosis and pales hemodynamically in comparison with published outcomes of surgical reconstruction. Regardless of the chosen strategy, a virtual treatment planning platform could identify lesions most critical for optimizing right ventricular afterload.

Project description:Background and purposeAs a non-invasive, side effect-free and cost-effective method, ultrasonography represents the method of choice for the diagnosis of renal artery stenosis. Four different criteria in total, including two direct criteria in peak systolic velocity (PSV) and renal aortic ratio (RAR) and two indirect criteria in resistance index (RI) and acceleration time (AT) for the measurement of relevant renal artery stenosis are described, each demonstrating highly variable accuracy in studies. Furthermore, there is controversy over the degree beyond which stenosis becomes therapeutically relevant and which ultrasound PSV is diagnostically relevant in terms of stenosis grading.Material and methodsThis article gives a critical review based on a selective literature search on measurement methodology and the validity of ultrasound in renal artery stenosis. A critical evaluation of methods and a presentation of measurement principles to establish the most precise measurement method possible compared with the gold standard angiography, as well as an evaluation of the importance of computed tomography angiography (CTA) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA).Results and conclusionsThe PSV provides high sensitivity and specificity as a direct measurement method in stenosis detection and grading. Most studies found sensitivities and specificities of 85-90 % for > 50 % stenosis at a PSV > 180-200 cm/s in ROC curve analysis. Other methods, such as the ratio of the PSV in the aorta to the PSV in the renal artery (RAR) or indirect criteria, such as side to side differences in RI (dRI) or AT can be additionally used to improve accuracy. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound improves accuracy by means of echo contrast enhancement. Although in the past only high-grade stenosis was considered relevant for treatment, a drop in pressure of > 20 mmHg in > 50 % stenosis (PSV 180 cm/s) is classified as relevant for increased renin secretion. Stenosis in fibromuscular dysplasia can be reliably graded according to the continuity equation. Although the available studies on the grading of in-stent restenosis are the subject of controversy, there is a tendency to assume higher cut-off values for PSV and RAR. Whilst MRA and CTA demonstrate an accuracy of > 90 %, this is at the cost of possible side effects for patients, particularly in the case of pre-existing renal parenchymal damage.Additional online materialThis article includes two additional video sequences on visualizing renal artery stenosis.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The contemporary limb outcomes and costs of stent-based vs non-stent based strategies in endovascular revascularization of femoropopliteal (FP) peripheral artery disease (PAD) are not well understood. METHODS AND RESULTS:We present data from the ongoing United States multicenter Excellence in Peripheral Artery Disease Registry between 2006-2016 to compare stent vs non-stent treatment outcomes and associated costs in FP interventions. A total of 2910 FP interventions were performed in 2162 patients (mean age, 66 years), comprising 1339 stent based (superficial femoral artery, 93%) in 1007 patients and 1571 non-stent interventions (superficial femoral artery, 85%) in 1155 patients. A growing trend for non-stent based interventions and a declining trend in repeat revascularization rate at 1 year were observed across years of registry enrollment. Stent implantation was the prevailing strategy in treating longer FP lesions (mean length, 152 mm vs 105 mm; P<.001) and chronic total occlusions (65% vs 40%; P<.001), while stent implantation was employed less frequently when treating in-stent restenotic lesions (14% vs 20%; P<.001). Stent and non-stent interventions had similar 1-year limb outcomes in all-cause death, target-limb revascularization, target-vessel revascularization, and major or minor amputation. The average procedure costs for the stent group were significantly higher than the non-stent group ($6215 vs $4790; P<.001). CONCLUSION:There is a growing trend for non-stent FP artery interventions, with a significant decline in 1-year target-limb revascularization rates over time. One-year limb outcomes in stent-based compared to non-stent interventions are similar; however, at a significantly higher procedural cost.

Project description:Randomized clinical trials have not shown an additional clinical benefit of renal artery stent placement over optimal medical therapy alone. However, studies of renal artery stent placement have not examined the relationship of albuminuria and treatment group outcomes. The CORAL study (Cardiovascular Outcomes in Renal Atherosclerotic Lesions) is a prospective clinical trial of 947 participants with atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis randomized to optimal medical therapy with or without renal artery stent which showed no treatment differences (3(5.8% and 35.1% event rate at mean 43-month follow-up). In a post hoc analysis, the study population was stratified by the median baseline urine albumin/creatinine ratio (n=826) and analyzed for the 5-year incidence of the primary end point (myocardial infarction, hospitalization for congestive heart failure, stroke, renal replacement therapy, progressive renal insufficiency, or cardiovascular disease- or kidney disease-related death), for each component of the primary end point, and overall survival. When baseline urine albumin/creatinine ratio was ≤ median (22.5 mg/g, n=413), renal artery stenting was associated with significantly better event-free survival from the primary composite end point (73% versus 59% at 5 years; P=0.02), cardiovascular disease-related death (93% versus 85%; P≤ 0.01), progressive renal insufficiency (91% versus 77%; P=0.03), and overall survival (89% versus 76%; P≤0.01), but not when baseline urine albumin/creatinine ratio was greater than median (n=413). These data suggest that low albuminuria may indicate a potentially large subgroup of those with renal artery stenosis that could experience improved event-free and overall-survival after renal artery stent placement plus optimal medical therapy compared with optimal medical therapy alone. Further research is needed to confirm these preliminary observations.Clinical trial registrationURL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00081731.

Project description:BackgroundCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) continues to be a pandemic worldwide. Lung transplantation is the last option to increase life expectancy of end-stage COVID-19 patients. Branch pulmonary artery stenosis (PAS) is a rare complication after lung transplantation with an extremely poor prognosis. The current trend in the management of branch PAS is percutaneous balloon angioplasty and/or stent implantation, rather than high-risk reoperation with a lower success rate.Case summaryThe subject was a 54-year-old male with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection who underwent a double-lung transplantation. He suffered hypoxaemia and right heart dysfunction following the operation. Right cardiac catheterization and pulmonary angiography examination revealed severe stenosis of the right branch pulmonary artery. Due to immunosuppression and reduced coagulation function, the patient underwent pulmonary artery balloon dilatation and stent implantation, and ultimately recovered well.DiscussionThe combination of balloon dilatation and stent implantation is a good alternative to reoperation for patients with COVID-19.

Project description:BackgroundIntraprocedural optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a valuable tool for guidance of percutaneous coronary intervention, but long-term follow-up data are lacking.AimsThe aim of this study was to address the long-term (7.5 years) clinical impact of quantitative OCT metrics of suboptimal stent implantation.MethodsThis retrospective study includes 391 patients with long-term follow-up (mean 2,737 days; interquartile range 1,301-3,143 days) from the multicentre Centro per la Lotta contro l'Infarto - Optimisation of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (CLI-OPCI) registry. OCT-assessed suboptimal stent deployment required the presence of at least one of the following pre-defined OCT findings: in-stent MLA <4.5 mm2, proximal or distal reference lumen narrowing with lumen area <4.5 mm2, significant proximal or distal edge dissection width ≥200 μm.ResultsOne hundred and two patients (26.1%) with 138 stented lesions (27.7%) experienced a device-oriented cardiovascular event (DOCE). In-stent MLA <4.5 mm2 (38.1% vs 19.8%, p<0.001), in-stent lumen expansion <70% (29.5% vs 20.3%, p=0.032), proximal reference lumen narrowing <4.5 mm2 (6.5% vs 1.4%, p=0.004), and distal reference lumen narrowing <4.5 mm2 (12.9% vs 3.6%, p=0.001) were significantly more common in the DOCE vs non-DOCE group. OCT-assessed suboptimal stent deployment was an independent predictor of long-term DOCE (HR 2.17, p<0.001), together with bare metal stent implantation (HR 1.73, p=0.003) and prior revascularisation (HR 1.53, p=0.017).ConclusionsThe presence of OCT-assessed suboptimal criteria for stent implantation was related to a worse clinical outcome at very long-term follow-up. This information further supports an OCT-guided strategy of stent deployment.
