About this study

Official title: Effect of TCFA on Neointimal Coverage After EXCEL Biodegradable Polymer-coated Sirolimus-eluting Stents Implantation at 9 Months Follow-up: Evaluated by Optical Coherence Tomography and Fractional Flow Reserve

Although drug-eluting stents have reduced rates of restenosis and late lumen loss compared with bare metal stents, late stent thrombosis (LST), a life-threatening complication of this technology, has emerged as a major concern. Researches indicated incomplete neointimal coverage of stent struts as the most important morphometric predictor of LST. Pathological research showed stenting disruption of adjacent vulnerable plaques can precipitate LST, Meanwhile, thin-cap fibroatheromas (TCFA) as the most important predictor of Major Adverse Cardiovascular. Therefore, there is a hypothesis that TCFA may impair intimal healing which are prone to LST in vivo.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT)is a high-resolution (<10 µm), catheter-based imaging modality capable of investigating detailed coronary plaque morphology in vivo.This study aimed to observe that TCFA will arise what of the effect on intimal healing of stent struts on the lesions which fractional flow reserve (FFR)≤0.75 after EXCEL biodegradable polymer-coated sirolimus-eluting stent was implanted at 9 months follow up: evaluated by OCT and FFR

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Neointimal coverage of EXCEL biodegradable polymer-coated sirolimus-eluting stent

    offline OCT analysis will be performed independently by 2 investigators blinded to patient characteristics and to the stent used. Proprietary software will be used to analyze cross-sections at 1-mm intervals(every 5 frames) within the stented segment. In each cross-section, the number of struts was counted. Struts were classified as uncovered if any part of the strut was visibly exposed to the lumen, or covered if a layer of tissue was visible all over the reflecting surfaces.

    Measured: 9 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Major Adverse Cardiovascular of EXCEL biodegradable polymer-coated sirolimus-eluting stent

    Measured: 9 months
