Despite the enhanced properties of the second-generation drug-eluting stent (DES), its association with neoatherosclerosis has not been sufficiently evaluated. Therefore, we sought to evaluate and compare neoatherosclerosis in second-generation DESs to first-generation DESs.
A total of 212 DES-treated patients with >50% percent neointimal cross-sectional area stenosis were retrospectively enrolled from the Korean multicenter optical coherence tomography (OCT) registry. Within this population, 111 patients had a second-generation DES (40 zotarolimus, 36 everolimus, and 35 biolimus) and 101 patients had a first-generation (65 sirolimus and 36 paclitaxel) DES. Neoatherosclerosis on OCT was defined as neointima formation with the presence of lipids or calcification. OCT-determined neoatherosclerosis was identified in 27.4% (58/212) of all DES-treated lesions. The frequency of neoatherosclerosis increased with the stent age. Stent age was shorter in the second-generation DES group (12.4 months versus 55.4 months, P<0.001), and neoatherosclerosis was less frequently observed in that group (10.8% versus 45.5%, P<0.001). However, after adjusting for cardiovascular risk factors, chronic kidney disease (odds ratio, 4.113; 95% confidence interval, 1.086-15.575; P=0.037), >70 mg/dL of low-density cholesterol at follow-up OCT (odds ratio, 2.532; 95% confidence interval, 1.054-6.084; P=0.038), and stent age (odds ratio, 1.710; 95% confidence interval, 1.403-2.084; P<0.001) were all independent predictors for neoatherosclerosis, whereas the type of DES (first- versus second-generation) was not. Patients with neoatherosclerosis showed a higher rate of acute coronary syndrome at follow-up OCT (19.0% versus 3.9%, respectively, P=0.001).
The second-generation DES is not more protective against neoatherosclerosis compared with the first-generation DES.
尽管第二代药物洗脱支架(DES)性能有所增强,但其与新生动脉粥样硬化的关联尚未得到充分评估。因此,我们试图评估并比较第二代DES与第一代DES中的新生动脉粥样硬化情况。
从韩国多中心光学相干断层扫描(OCT)注册研究中回顾性纳入了212例接受DES治疗且新生内膜横截面积狭窄>50%的患者。在该人群中,111例患者植入第二代DES(40例佐他莫司、36例依维莫司和35例生物可吸收涂层依维莫司),101例患者植入第一代DES(65例西罗莫司和36例紫杉醇)。OCT上的新生动脉粥样硬化定义为伴有脂质或钙化的新生内膜形成。在所有接受DES治疗的病变中,OCT确定的新生动脉粥样硬化在27.4%(58/212)的病变中被识别出。新生动脉粥样硬化的发生率随支架植入时间增加。第二代DES组的支架植入时间较短(12.4个月对55.4个月,P<0.001),且该组中新生动脉粥样硬化的发生率较低(10.8%对45.5%,P<0.001)。然而,在调整心血管危险因素后,慢性肾脏病(比值比,4.113;95%置信区间,1.086 - 15.575;P = 0.037)、随访OCT时低密度胆固醇>70mg/dL(比值比,2.532;95%置信区间,1.054 - 6.084;P = 0.038)以及支架植入时间(比值比,1.710;95%置信区间,1.403 - 2.084;P<0.001)均为新生动脉粥样硬化的独立预测因素,而DES类型(第一代与第二代)则不是。有新生动脉粥样硬化的患者在随访OCT时急性冠状动脉综合征的发生率更高(分别为19.0%对3.9%,P = 0.001)。
与第一代DES相比,第二代DES对新生动脉粥样硬化并无更强的防护作用。
