Abstract
Background In-stent restenosis (ISR) is one of major problems after stent implantation. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of cutting and conventional balloon angioplasty for ISR of bare metal stent (BMS) and of drug-eluting stent (DES). Methods Consecutive 136 lesions (119 patients) with ISR treated successfully by cutting balloon or conventional balloon angioplasty were enrolled. Baseline characters and 9 month angiographic and clinical outcomes were compared. Lesions treated by additional stent implantation were excluded and treatment modality was decided by operators discretion. Successful angioplasty was defined as residual stenosis < 50% by visual estimation. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were defined as death, myocardial infarction and target vessel revascularization. Results BMS ISR were 80 lesions (BMS ISR group) and DES ISR were 56 lesions (DES ISR group). The clinical characteristics before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were not different between BMS ISR and DES ISR groups. Stent length was longer (38.9¡¾18.1mm vs. 20.8¡¾7.0mm, p<0.01) and stent diameter was smaller (2.88¡¾0.27mm vs. 3.18¡¾0.55mm, p<0.01) in DES ISR group. Focal ISR was more common in DES ISR group (80.0% vs. 58.8%, p=0.01). However, post PCI residual stenosis was not different in both groups. In 9 month angiographic follow-up (angiographic follow-up rate, 58%), binary restenosis (42.6% vs. 28.1%, p=NS) and target lesion revascularization (TLR) rate (12.5% vs. 8.9%, p=NS) were not significantly different between BMS ISR group and DES ISR group. MACE were not different in both group (15.0% vs 12.5%, p=NS). There were no difference in TLR and MACE rates between cutting and conventional balloon angioplasty in both BMS and DES groups. In a multivariate analysis, type of stent and type of treatment were not an independent predictor for TLR after ISR treatment. Conclusion The effectiveness of cutting and conventional balloon angioplasty for ISR of BMS and DES was not different.
