Cardiovasc Diabetol 2023; 22:337. [PMID: 38066597 PMCID: PMC10709975 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-023-02071-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2023] [Accepted: 11/21/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D) have a higher risk of in-stent restenosis and stent thrombosis. The activation of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) has been suggested to induce several effects on the vasculature that may reduce the risk of stent failure following an angioplasty. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of the GLP-1R agonist exenatide on endothelialization of a modern drug-eluting stent (DES) in subjects with T2D. METHODS 38 subjects with T2D who were eligible for revascularization with implantation of DES were randomized to treatment with exenatide (once weekly) plus standard treatment, or to standard treatment alone. After 12 weeks, a new coronary angiography was performed to evaluate the percentage of strut coverage (primary endpoint) and the presence of neo-atherosclerosis by optical coherence tomography. This study was approved by the Stockholm's Ethical Review Board. RESULTS The two groups were well balanced regarding baseline clinical characteristics. Strut coverage was 95% (88.7-98.5%) in the exenatide group and 91.4% (88.8-98.5%) in the control group (p = 0.692). There were no significant differences between groups neither in the thickness of neo-intima (0.2 mm in both groups, p = 0.471), nor the maximal in-stent obstruction by neo-intima (15.5% in exenatide group vs 14.7% in control group, p = 0.801). No significant differences were detected in the rate of target lesion revascularization between groups (p = 0.224). CONCLUSION Twelve weeks treatment with exenatide did not lead to a significantly better stent coverage in people with T2D. No significant differences in the occurrence of neo-atherosclerosis were detected between groups. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study was registered at www. CLINICALTRIALS gov (Rebuild Study, NCT02621489).

Plaque burden is associated with minimal intimal coverage following drug-eluting stent implantation in an adult familial hypercholesterolemia swine model. Sci Rep 2023; 13:10683.

Abstract
Safety and efficacy of coronary drug-eluting stents (DES) are often preclinically tested using healthy or minimally diseased swine. These generally show significant fibrotic neointima at follow-up, while in patients, incomplete healing is often observed. The aim of this study was to investigate neointima responses to DES in swine with significant coronary atherosclerosis. Adult familial hypercholesterolemic swine (n = 6) received a high fat diet to develop atherosclerosis. Serial OCT was performed before, directly after, and 28 days after DES implantation (n = 14 stents). Lumen, stent and plaque area, uncovered struts, neointima thickness and neointima type were analyzed for each frame and averaged per stent. Histology was performed to show differences in coronary atherosclerosis. A range of plaque size and severity was found, from healthy segments to lipid-rich plaques. Accordingly, neointima responses ranged from uncovered struts, to minimal neointima, to fibrotic neointima. Lower plaque burden resulted in a fibrotic neointima at follow-up, reminiscent of minimally diseased swine coronary models. In contrast, higher plaque burden resulted in minimal neointima and more uncovered struts at follow-up, similarly to patients' responses. The presence of lipid-rich plaques resulted in more uncovered struts, which underscores the importance of advanced disease when performing safety and efficacy testing of DES.

Comparison of neoatherosclerosis and a clinical outcomes between bioabsorbable versus durable polymer drug-eluting stent: Verification by optical coherence tomography analysis. Cardiol J 2022; 30:VM/OJS/J/71808. [PMID: 35470415 PMCID: PMC10713205 DOI: 10.5603/cj.a2022.0025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2020] [Revised: 09/17/2021] [Accepted: 10/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Neoatherosclerosis after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation is known to be related with increased risk of late restenosis and stent thrombosis. Neoatherosclerosis and relevant clinical outcomes between bioabsorbable polymer DES (BP-DES) and second-generation durable polymer DES (DP-DES) were evaluated by optical coherence tomography (OCT) analysis. METHODS A total of 311 patients (319 lesions) undergoing OCT analysis after DES implantation were enrolled and divided into two groups according to stent type (BP-DES [150 patients, 153 lesions] and DP-DES [161 patients, 166 lesions]). Follow-up OCT analysis was performed at least 9 months after index stent implantation. Neoatherosclerosis was defined as presence of thin-cap fibroatheroma, calcified plaque, and lipid plaque. Primary endpoint was the incidence of neoatherosclerosis, and the secondary endpoints were the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE), defined as a composite of death, myocardial infarction, target lesion revascularization, or stent thrombosis and to find independent predictors of neoatherosclerosis. RESULTS The incidence of neoatherosclerosis was lower in the BP-DES group than the DP-DES group (5.2% vs. 14.5%, p = 0.008), which was driven by lipid plaque. However, the incidence of MACE did not show statistical difference between the two groups in median 4-year follow-up (3.3% vs. 7.8%, hazard ratio 1.964, 95% confidence interval 0.688-5.611, p = 0.207). Less use of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin II receptor blockade and higher degree of neointimal hyperplasia remained independent predictors of neoatherosclerosis on Cox regression analysis. CONCLUSIONS Patients undergoing BP-DES implantation had lower incidence of neoatherosclerosis than DP-DES, which did not reach statistically better clinical outcomes.

An intra-patient randomized study with OCT, evaluating early strut coverage of a novel probucol coated polymer-free and ultra-thin strut sirolimus-eluting stent compared to a biodegradable polymer sirolimus-eluting stent. Int J Cardiol 2022; 360:13-20.

Abstract
BACKGROUND incomplete strut coverage determines the risk of stent thrombosis in the first months after stent implantation. AIMS To evaluate the potential better early healing of a novel probucol coated polymer free ultra-thin strut sirolimus eluting stent (PF-SES). [Clinical trial unique identifier: NCT02785237]. METHODS Patients with two (angiographically similar) lesions with clinical indication for PCI were enrolled. The investigated stent was compared to a thin strut, bioresorbable polymer, sirolimus eluting stent (BP-SES). Every patient received both stents, one in each lesion, assigned in a randomized sequence. OCT was systematically performed at 3 months. Primary end point was the difference in the proportion of covered struts at 3 months (defined as ≥20 μm of tissue coverage). Secondary end points included differences in percentage of uncovered struts (0 μm coverage), mean strut coverage thickness, and malapposed struts' coverage proportion. Major adverse cardiac events (cardiac death, myocardial infarction, target lesion revascularization, and definite or probable stent thrombosis) at 12 months were also evaluated. RESULTS 70 patients were included. At 3 months, a consistent and significantly higher strut coverage rate (≥20 μm) was observed in PF-SES as compared to BP-SES, both for well apposed (87.3% versus 79.1%, p < 0.001) and malapposed struts (50.4% vs 37.8%, p 0.00). Uncoverage rate (0 μm) was also significantly lower for the PF-SES (3.1% vs 5.3%, p < 0.001). There were no differences in clinical endpoints. CONCLUSION The probucol coated non-polymeric ultra-thin strut sirolimus eluting stent showed a significantly better early strut coverage at 3 months.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is required for coronary artery disease treated with drug-eluting stents (DES) implantation. Shortening DAPT duration would be beneficial for patients with high bleeding risk. AREAS COVERED Early healing patterns, especially stent strut coverage, assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT) as a surrogate of neointima have been investigated to make decisions on whether short DAPT would be a safe alternative. This review evaluates the OCT evidence (i.e. neointimal coverage of stent struts within 3 months) for shortening DAPT duration after DES implantation. EXPERT COMMENTARY Shortening DAPT (i.e. within 3 months) duration after DES implantation might reduce complications including bleeding without increasing stent thrombosis. However, the optimal duration of DAPT after DES implantation is under discussion. Long-term assessment of short DAPT is required for the decision of the new guidelines regarding the recommended duration of DAPT.

Abstract
Introduction: The increasing complexity of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) regarding both coronary anatomy and comorbidities requires dedicated devices. The Resolute Onyx (R-Onyx, Medtronic, CA, USA) stent is a novel durable polymer zotarolimus-eluting stent (ZES) promising better deliverability, increased radiopacity and lower thrombogenicity.Areas covered: In this review, we discuss device features, preclinical evidence, and clinical studies including patients treated with R-Onyx. The BIONYX and Onyx ONE studies were two major landmark trials demonstrating non-inferiority of R-Onyx as compared to other latest generation devices. We also elaborate on alternative innovations in drug-eluting stent (DES) technology and how R-Onyx fits into this field.Expert opinion: R-Onyx is designed to address the challenges of contemporary PCI, but evidence on its clinical performance is largely derived from studies on older generation devices from the ZES family. Nonetheless, all clinical studies on R-Onyx consistently show excellent outcomes, with particularly low rates of stent thrombosis, making it a promising candidate for short dual antiplatelet regimens. In addition, R-Onyx is available with a wide range of stent diameters allowing accurate sizing for both very small and very large coronary vessels.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES AND BACKGROUND Polymer coatings of drug-eluting stents (DES) may induce allergic reactions and inflammation, resulting in late-acquired stent malapposition (LASM) with the risk of stent thrombosis. This study evaluated, if biodegradable polymer (BP) reduces the incidence of LASM compared to permanent polymer (PP) after treatment with newer generation DES. METHODS AND RESULTS Fifty patients with 59 lesions were randomized (2:1) to elective treatment with second generation PP-DES (n = 32, 39 stents), either Everolimus-eluting or Zotarolimus-eluting stents, or with BP-DES (Biolimus-eluting stents [BES]; n = 18, 20 stents) and underwent optical coherence tomography directly after implantation and after 1 year. After implantation acute stent malappositions (ASM) were documented in 30 stents (51%) distributed to 22 stents treated with PP-DES (56%) and 8 with BP-DES (40%; n.s.). After 1 year, late stent malappositions (LSM) were detected in 14 stents (24 %); ASM persisted (APSM) in 9 stents after one year (7 PP-DES-18%, 2 BES-10%), whereas ASM resolved in 21 stents. In addition, LASM was documented in nine stents including five stents without and four stents with additional APSM. All LASM were located in PP-DES (n = 9; 23%), none in BP-DES (P = 0.022). Compared to the reference lumen area, in-stent lumen area of stents without LASM was smaller due to neointimal hyperplasia (P = 0.021), whereas in-stent lumen area at maximum LASM of stents with LASM was larger due to positive remodeling (P = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS In conclusion the use of BP-DES reduced the occurrence of LASM due to positive remodeling compared to second generation PP-DES.
