Drug-Coated Balloon Treatment for ACS Induced by Myocardial Bridging: An Intravascular Ultrasound-Guided PCI.

ABSTRACT: This report describes a case of a 35-year-old man who presented with acute coronary syndrome. An angiogram and intravascular ultrasound revealed atherosclerotic stenosis in the myocardial bridging segment of the mid-left anterior descending artery. The culprit lesion was treated using a drug-coated balloon, and no residual stenosis was observed, which was later confirmed by intravascular ultrasound and optical coherence tomography at a 1-year coronary angiographic follow-up. This case provides evidence that drug-coated balloon could be a potential treatment strategy for atherosclerosis located in the myocardial bridging segment and suggests advantages of the "leave nothing behind" strategy in such clinical scenarios.

Project description:IntroductionThe combination of intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) and drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty for calcified peripheral lesions is associated with promising short-term results. However, data regarding the 12 months performance of this treatment option is missing. This study reports on the outcomes of IVL and DCB angioplasty for calcified femoropopliteal disease.MethodsPatients treated with IVL and DCB for calcified femoropopliteal lesions between February 2017 and September 2020 were included into this study. The primary outcome measure of this analysis was primary patency. Secondary patency, freedom from target lesion revascularization (TLR) and overall mortality were additionally analyzed.ResultsFifty-five (n = 55) patients and 71 lesions were analyzed. Most patients presented with long-term limb-threatening ischemia (n = 31, 56%), 47% (n = 26) were diabetics, and 66% (n = 36) had long-term kidney disease. The median lesion length was 77 mm (interquartile range: 45-136), and 20% (n = 14) of the lesions were chronic total occlusions (CTOs). Eccentric calcification was found in 23% of the vessels (n = 16), and circumferential calcium (peripheral arterial calcium scoring system [PACSS] Class 3 and 4) was present in 78% (n = 55) of the treated lesions.The technical success after IVL amounted to 87% (n = 62) and the procedural success to 97% (n = 69). A flow-limiting dissection was observed in 2 cases (3%). Both the rates of target lesion perforation and distal embolization were 1% (n = 1). A bail-out scaffold was deployed in 5 lesions (7%). At 12 months the Kaplan-Meier estimate of primary patency was 81%, the freedom from TLR was 92% and the secondary patency 98%. The overall survival amounted to 89%, while the freedom from major amputation to 98%. The presence of eccentric disease, CTOs, or PACSS Class 4 did not increase the risk for loss of patency or TLR.ConclusionsIn this challenging cohort of patients, the use of IVL and DCB for calcified femoropopliteal lesions was associated with promising 12 months outcomes and an excellent safety profile.
