Directional coronary atherectomy (DCA) has proven to be an effective treatment for coronary artery disease, both in multiple anatomical locations and in various clinical settings. Little has been published, however, regarding efficacy of DCA for treatment of acute myocardial infarction (MI). This brief report reviews our early experience with DCA in this new role. Twelve patients presenting from April 1993 through February 1994 were identified by review of the DCA Registry at Hamot Medical Center. The group comprised six men and six women mean age 60 years (range 39-81 years). Patients were administered oral aspirin and intravenous nitroglycerin Heparin dose was titrated to maintain ACTs > 300 seconds. DCA was performed using 9.5-, 10-, and 11Fr guiding catheters. Seven Fr EX, 7Fr graft, 7Fr surlyn, and 6Fr EX devices were used. Predilation and/or postdilation with balloon angioplasty was performed when clinically indicated. Postprocedure stenoses were determined using comparable orthogonal angiographic views. Lesions were measured by manual caliper assessment and tissue weights were obtained from all specimens. The procedural success rate was 92% (11/12) and the mean postprocedural diameter stenosis was 15% (range -20% to 52%). The mean tissue weight from atherectomy specimens was 16 mg (range 7.6-35 mg). The mean time from onset of pain to reperfusion was 2.8 hours (range 40 min to 5.5 hours). Clinical success was achieved in 83% (10/12) of patients. Two deaths occurred in patients presenting with cardiogenic shock. Ten patients experienced no ischemic events, heart failure, or arryhthmias following their interventional procedure.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) |
