Abstract
Background:A recent optical coherence tomography (OCT) registry showed that the presence of irregular protrusion (IP) after coronary stenting was a predictor of worse 1-year cardiovascular events. This study evaluated the clinical impact of OCT-detected IP after coronary stenting at ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) culprit lesions. Methods and Results:In all, 139 consecutive STEMI patients with OCT-detected IP after stenting were analyzed retrospectively. The maximum IP angles were measured and patients with IP were divided into 2 groups (large IP, maximum IP angle ≥180°; small IP, 0°<angle<180°). The primary endpoints were cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, target lesion revascularization, and stent thrombosis at 1 year after the index percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Of STEMI patients with IP, 51.8% had large IP. The incidence of the primary endpoints higher was higher in the large than small IP group (12.5% vs. 1.5%, respectively; P=0.018). The occurrence of plaque rupture was an independent predictor of large IP (odds ratio 4.58; 95% confidential interval 1.86–11.27; P=0.001). Conclusions:Maximum IP angle ≥180° was an independent predictor of clinical events in STEMI patients with IP.Keywords
