Several reports have suggested that stent fractures in sirolimus-eluting stents (SESs) might be related to in-stent restenosis (ISR). However, the role of stent strut fracture in ISR has not been clearly elucidated. Therefore, we investigated the association of the SES fracture and ISR.
From 2003 to 2006, SES implantations with follow-up coronary angiography (CAG) for 628 lesions in 557 patients were analyzed. We reviewed clinical and procedural factors that might affect SES fracture and ISR. The median time interval from stent implantation to follow-up CAG was 9 months (range: 2-30 months).
ISR occurred in 38 patients (5.7%), and 21 stent fractures (3.3%) were identified by follow-up CAG. Fourteen cases occurred in the left anterior descending artery, and seven occurred in the right coronary artery. The binary ISR rate in the stent fracture group was higher compared with that of the nonfracture group (38.1% vs. 4.6%, P<0.001). Predictors of ISR as estimated by multivariate analysis were a stent diameter less than 2.75 mm [odds ratio (OR)=2.76, P=0.012], a stent length over 28 mm (OR=3.30, P=0.024), and stent fracture (OR=11.03, P<0.001) after controlling for the angiographic and clinical risk factors of ISR.
Stent fracture was an independent predictor of ISR and may be one of the crucial mechanisms of ISR after implantation of an SES.
多项报告表明,西罗莫司洗脱支架(SES)的支架断裂可能与支架内再狭窄(ISR)有关。然而,支架支柱断裂在ISR中的作用尚未明确阐明。因此,我们研究了SES断裂与ISR之间的关联。
分析了2003年至2006年期间557例患者628处病变的SES植入及后续冠状动脉造影(CAG)情况。我们回顾了可能影响SES断裂和ISR的临床及手术因素。从支架植入到后续CAG的中位时间间隔为9个月(范围:2 - 30个月)。
38例患者(5.7%)发生ISR,通过后续CAG发现21处支架断裂(3.3%)。14例发生在左前降支,7例发生在右冠状动脉。支架断裂组的二元ISR发生率高于未断裂组(38.1%对4.6%,P<0.001)。在控制了ISR的血管造影和临床风险因素后,多变量分析估计的ISR预测因素为支架直径小于2.75 mm[比值比(OR)=2.76,P = 0.012]、支架长度超过28 mm(OR = 3.30,P = 0.024)以及支架断裂(OR = 11.03,P<0.001)。
支架断裂是ISR的独立预测因素,可能是SES植入后ISR的关键机制之一。
