Novel predictor of target vessel revascularization after coronary stent implantation: Intraluminal intensity of blood speckle on intravascular ultrasound

ABSTRACT


BACKGROUND - The difference in intraluminal intensity of blood speckle (IBS) on integrated backscatter-intravascular ultrasound (IB-IVUS) across the coronary artery stenosis (i.e., ΔIBS) has been reported to negatively correlate with fractional flow reserve. Fractional flow reserve after coronary stenting is known as a predictor of target vessel revascularization (TVR). However, the relation between ΔIBS and TVR is unclear.


METHODS - Seven hundred and three vessels which underwent percutaneous coronary intervention with stents were screened. Vessels without IVUS-guidance and follow-up information were excluded. Intraluminal IBS values were measured using IB-IVUS in cross-sections at the ostium of the target vessel and at the distal reference of implanted stent. ΔIBS was calculated as (distal IBS) - (ostium IBS).


RESULTS - A total of 393 vessels were included. Mean ΔIBS at postprocedure was 6.22 ± 5.65. During the follow-up period (11.2 ± 3.1 months), 24 cases (6.1%) had TVR. ΔIBS was significantly greater in the vessels with TVR than in those without (11.10 ± 5.93 vs. 5.90 ± 5.49, P <0.001). In receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, ΔIBS significantly predicted TVR (AUC 0.74, best cut-off value 8.24, P < 0.001). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed use of drug eluting stent and ΔIBS ≥ 8.24 as independent predictors of TVR.


CONCLUSIONS - ΔIBS at postprocedure was significantly associated with TVR. IVUS may be able to predict TVR by physiological assessment with measurement of ΔIBS.
