The Relation Between Optical Coherence Tomography-Detected Layered Pattern and Acute Side Branch Occlusion After Provisional Stenting of Coronary Bifurcation Lesions

Yang Cao, GS Mintz, A Maehara et al.

ABSTRACT


BACKGROUND/PURPOSE - Layered pattern (presumed to be healed plaque after a thrombotic event) can be observed by optical coherence tomography (OCT). We sought to assess the ability of OCT-detected plaque composition to predict acute side branch (SB) occlusion after provisional bifurcation stenting.

 

METHODS - This is a retrospective observational study using pre-intervention OCT in the main vessel to predict Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow grade ≤1 in a SB (diameter ≥ 1.5 mm) after provisional bifurcation stenting. OCT-detected layered pattern was defined as plaque with a superficial layer that had a different optical intensity and a clear demarcation from underlying tissue.

 

RESULTS - Overall, 207 patients with stable coronary disease were included. SB occlusion occurred in 26/207 (12.6%) bifurcation lesions. Operators decided not to perform additional treatment, and TIMI flow did not improve to ≥2 in cases with SB occlusion. The prevalence of OCT-detected layered pattern was more common in lesions with versus without SB occlusion (88.5% versus 33.7%, p < 0.0001); OCT-detected layered pattern was more often located on the same side of the SB (73.9% versus 21.3%, p < 0.0001) circumferentially compared to lesions without SB occlusion. Multivariable analysis showed that OCT-detected layered pattern was an independent predictor of SB occlusion (odds ratio 18.8, 95% confidence interval 5.1-68.8, p < 0.0001) along with true bifurcation lesion and wider angiographic bifurcation angle.

 

CONCLUSIONS - The presence of an OCT-detected layered pattern near its ostium was a strong predictor of SB occlusion after provisional bifurcation stenting.
