252 Practical Handbook of Advanced Interventional Cardiology Rescue angioplasty for failed thrombolysis: Since clinical signs and electrocardiographic data of reperfusion are not precise, the guidelines of the ACC/AHA task force suggest that catheterization be performed in any thrombolytic patients with ongoing chest pain or hemodynamic instability, or in asymptomatic patients who are less than 12 hours of symptom onset with persistent ST elevation, after 90 minutes of thrombolytic therapy. 37 However, the patients who require rescue angioplasty due to failed thrombolysis remained at increased risk for reocclusion, because they possibly had higher resistance to pharmacologic reperfusion, large throm- bus burden or platelet-rich thrombi, factors unfavorable to the performance of mechanical intervention. Rescue PCI should be performed on high-risk lesion (>75%) with TIMI of 2 or less. The mortality of patients who failed rescue PTCA was high, in the 30% range, while it was only 7–11% in patients with persistent occluded IRA treated conservatively. There was no indication for PCI of the IRA if the TIMI fl ow is 3 following lytic treatment. However, there are exceptions, which include the patients with high risk of reocclusion or severe complications if there is occlusion of the IRA, and patients with >90% residual stenosis, prior MI, decreased LV ejection fraction, or multivessel disease. Non-IRA lesion: Stenosis of non-IRA vessels should not be treated by emergent PCI unless there is evidence of persistent ischemia or cardiogenic shock after adequate re- perfusion of the IRA. PCI for saphenous vein graft: Pa tients with prio r coro- nary artery bypass grafting who present with AMI are equally likely to occlude native vessels and bypass grafts, although LIMA grafts have a lower rate of stenosis. AMI after CABG usually affects smaller territories and presents with milder symptoms. 36 In comparison to native vessels, SVG thrombo- sis typically has a suboptimal response to fi brinolytic therapy. Vein grafts lack side branch vessels that would normally de- liver the fi brinolytic agent to the site of occlusion. 37 In the case of mechanical intervention, because of the large size of the SVGs and high thrombotic burden, there is a signifi cant risk of distal embolization. In the PAMI-2 trial the overall in-hos- pital and 6-month mortality of patients with prior CABG was higher compared with patients without prior CABG. Patients with CABG had lower rates of TIMI-3 fl ow after PCI, and mechanical intervention was less frequently attempted. 38 Recently, catheter-based fi lter devices were found to be effective in preventing distal embolization in primary PCI of SVG lesions. Left main PCI in AMI: In a small study by Marso et al., in which 40 patients with AMI due to LM occlusion were treated with emergent PCI, the angiographic success rate was 88%. In-hospital mortality was 55%, and CABG was performed in 10% of patients. The 12-month mortality after left main PTCA Acute ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction 253 with stenting was high (58%) but substantially lower than PTCA without stenting (78%; P <0.05). 39 All hospital deaths were a result of cardiogenic shock. Therefore, although PCI strategy for AMI from left main disease is feasible, short- and long-term mortality is high. 40 I f L M o c c l u s i o n i s a r e s u l t o f a o r t i c dissection, then PCI of the LM may be performed as a bridge toward hemodynamic stability before proceeding with defi ni- tive surgery. 41 CONCLUSION Despite numerous advances in management of STEMI, the treatment goal remains unchanged: prompt restoration of patency in the infarct-related artery (IRA) can reduce myo- cardial infarct size, minimize myocardial damage, preserve ventricular function, and signifi cantly reduce mortality. The dominant and benchmark reperfusion strategy worldwide remains fi brinolytic therapy. However, rapid restoration of pa- tency by catheter-based percutaneous intervention can result in excellent outcomes, 42 and the use of an early interventional strategy continues to increase. If experienced operators are available at an institution with a large procedure volume, and if the interval between door and balloon (reperfusion) is less than 120 minutes, pri- mary PCI has been shown to be superior to pharmacologic re- perfusion, mostly by virtue of reducing recurrent MI and ICH. This benefi t is mitigated by a number of factors and adjunct therapies, including glycoprotein 2b3a receptor antagonists, antithrombotics and antiplatelet agents, and low-dose fi brino- lytics. These agents help to increase the opening rate of the IRA, increase tissue perfusion, and sustain patency after the acute event. 43 Female sex, age >65, presence of left bundle branch block, and advanced time of presentation (>12 hours) represent high-risk factors, and early mechanical intervention should be considered in these patients even in the absence of chest pain. In subgroups where PCI is comparable to throm- bolysis in reducing mortality, mechanical reperfusion may still h a v e a n i m p o r t a n t r o l e i n p r e v e n t i o n o f v e n t r i c u l a r r e m o d e l i n g , dilatation, and dysfunction that could impact the long-term prognosis of patients with AMI.

Treatment of such lesions is associated with reduced procedural success and increased complications as well as increased restenosis risk. Several factors are likely to contribute to these poorer outcomes. Plaque and endothelial characteristics of ostial lesions appear to lead to increased recoil and increased risk of dissection with compromise of side branches and /or main vessel. Intervention in either branch of a bifurcation lesion fre- quently leads to “snow plowing” with shifting of plaque, com- promising the opposing branch. Because of these concerns, such lesions are often treated less aggressively, leading to greater residual stenosis and therefore greater restenosis. TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS True bifurcation lesions are generally considered to be those in which a single lesion involves both main vessel and branch vessel with greater than 50–70% stenosis in both. Lesions in which a side branch originates from within a signifi - cant lesion in the main vessel, but without apparent signifi cant disease in the branch itself, may also be considered as bifur- cation lesions since the branch vessel may require treatment as well. Situations in which a branch without apparent disease originates near, but not within, a lesion in a main vessel rarely require treatment of the branch vessel. However, treatment of branch vessels with severe ostial lesions may, at times, result in compromise of the main vessel, requiring bifurcation intervention. Because treatment of bifurcation lesions with balloon angioplasty alone frequently gives suboptimal results, ex- perience has developed in the use of other technologies, including directional coronary atherectomy (DCA), rotational atherectomy, and stenting. These newer devices generally provide improved procedural results, though with the potential of increased complications, with continuing uncertainty as to the long-term outcomes. In our laboratory, we studied 70 con- secutive patients with true bifurcation lesions, 30 treated with conventional PTCA alone and 40 with either DCA or rotational atherectomy with adjunctive PTCA. 1 Use of atherectomy re- sulted in lower immediate residual stenosis in both the main and the branch vessels and a decreased 1-year target vessel revascularization (TVR) (28% vs 53%). Independent predic- tors of need for TVR were side branch diameter >2.3 mm, le- sion length, and treatment with PTCA alone. This experience suggests that more aggressive debulking techniques should be considered for larger side branches, although they may be of no benefi t for smaller ones. Bifurcation Lesions 261 BALLOON ANGIOPLASTY (PTCA) D i l a t a t i o n o f m a i n v e s s e l o n l y : A strategy of dilatation of the main ves sel onl y may be suitabl e if the si de branch has no apparent ostial disease, or if there is no more than moderate disease that does not require treatment, with the side branch originating adjacent to, but not within, the main vessel lesion. Under these circumstances, risk of side branch compromise is minimal, and if it occurs, it can be easily treated. 2 This strat- egy may also be suitable if an involved side branch is of small caliber and diffusely diseased such that loss would have little, if any, clinical signifi cance. Loss of septal branches, except those of very large caliber, rarely results in adverse clinical outcomes, probably because of collateral septal supply. Unless the artery is very large with excellent fi nal MLD after POBA, it is diffi cult to justify POBA alone because of lower restenosis rates with atherectomy and bare stenting. Treatment of main vessel and side branch using a double wire technique: If a branch arises from within the le- sion in the main vessel, there is an increased risk of branch oc- clusion with dilatation of the main vessel alone, with a reported incidence of 38–41% if there is greater than 50–70% stenosis of the branch origin. 2–4 This may occur as a result of plaque shifting, dissection involving the branch origin, or emboliza- tion. Therefore, side branches considered to be clinically important, and particularly those with ostial disease, should be treated as well as the main vessel. Follow-up of patients treated with PTCA of both branches have been reported as having an angiographic restenosis rate at 6 months of 37% 5 and a clinical restenosis rate of 42%. 4 TECHNICAL TIPS **Double balloon angioplasty: When treatment of the side branch is anticipated, a double wire technique should be used with a guidewire advanced into each branch, be- ing careful that the wires do not twist during manipulation. Although some operators use a triport hemostasis valve, both wires and balloons can be easily advanced through the same opening of a single hemostasis Y adaptor. The main vessel and side branch can be sequentially dilated using either rapid exchange or over-the-wire dilating catheters. Sequential dilatations will permit the use of a smaller guid- ing catheter, but this strategy frequently results in shifting of plaque toward the undilated vessel with failure to achieve optimal results in both vessels. A more optimal result can usually be obtained using a “kissing balloon” strategy with simultaneous dilatations in both branches (Figure 13-1). Since both balloons will infl ate together in the main vessel proximal to the bifurcation, it is important that these bal- loons not be oversized for the vessel diameter or infl ated [...]... both of the branches but leaves uncovered any disease in the bifurcation itself or proximal to the bifurcation.10–12 272 Practical Handbook of Advanced Interventional Cardiology Figure 1 3-4 : Types of bifurcation stenting (A) T stenting with the right angle takeoff of side branch providing good coverage of lesion (B) T stenting with acute angle takeoff of side branch leaving an unstented gap at origin of. ..
