Abstract

BACKGROUND: Lipid content in untreated nonobstructive coronary artery lesions is associated with adverse clinical outcomes, and residual in-stent or stent edge lipid may worsen outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS: Near-infrared spectroscopy-intravascular ultrasound was performed before and after PCI in patients with myocardial infarction. We evaluated the impact of lipid assessed by near-infrared spectroscopy (maximal lipid core burden index over 4 mm [maxLCBI4mm]) along with intravascular ultrasound information including residual plaque burden on in-stent or edge-related major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in de novo PCI-treated culprit coronary artery lesions. The primary end point was culprit lesion-related MACE (CL-MACE), defined as cardiac death, myocardial infarction, or unstable or progressive angina either requiring revascularization or with rapid lesion progression and classified as in-stent or stent edge-related. RESULTS: During a median follow-up of 3.8 years, 25 CL-MACE (11 stent edge-related, 13 in-stent, and 1 in-lesion without a stent) occurred in 1041 PCI-treated lesions in 768 patients. Pre-PCI or post-PCI measures of lipid content were not related to in-stent CL-MACE. However, stent edge-related CL-MACE was increased if both the post-PCI stent edge maxLCBI4mm was greater than the upper quartile (108.7) and the stent edge plaque burden was >50% (adjusted odds ratio, 4.11 [95% CI, 1.12-15.2]; P=0.03). CONCLUSIONS: In PROSPECT II (Providing Regional Observations to Study Predictors of Events in the Coronary Tree), CL stent implantation leaving behind greater stent edge-related lipid and uncovered plaque burden was associated with an increased risk of stent edge-related CL-MACE during follow-up. In contrast, CL lipid content was not related to in-stent CL-MACE.
