OBJECTIVE: To assess the geometrical changes in the distal left main coronary artery (LMCA), left anterior descending (LAD), and left circumflex (LCX) that occur after a distal LMCA lesion is treated using a onestent cross-over strategy. BACKGROUND: Morphological changes after stent implantation into distal LMCA lesions are not fully understood. METHODS: We used pre- and post-intervention three-dimensional intravascular ultrasound of both the LAD and LCX as well as of the LMCA to evaluate distal LMCA lesions after a 1-stent cross-over strategy. In 38 distal LMCA bifurcation lesions, cross-sectional measurements were performed every 1 mm over a 5 mm segment in the LAD and LCX distal to the carina and over the entire LMCA proximal to the carina. RESULTS: The increase in lumen volume correlated with the increase in external elastic membrane volumes: R=0.917, p<0.001, in the LMCA and R=0.785, p<0.001, in the LAD with no decrease in plaque volume except at the distal end of the LMCA (p=0.081) and at the LAD carina (p=0.11). The LCX lumen area decreased significantly at the LCX carina from 5.9±2.0 mm2 to 5.3±1.9 mm2 (p<0.01); however, the response was variable from a 4.0 mm2 decrease to a 1.8 mm2 increase in lumen area. While the change in LCX lumen area at the carina correlated with the change in vessel area (R=0.791, p<0.001), there was also a small increase in plaque area at the LCX carina from 6.4±2.9 mm2 to 6.8±2.9 mm2 (p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: LMCA bifurcation lumen changes after cross-over single stent implantation were determined primarily by conformational changes in vessel geometry. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. |
