La malattia del Tronco Comune Non Protetto (TCNP) ha come in<strong>di</strong>cazione<br />

terapeutica elettiva la rivascolarizzazione con by-pass (BP), come suggerito dalle<br />

linee guida internazionali che definiscono invece l’angioplastica coronarica (PTCA)<br />

una possibile alternativa nei pazienti (pz) ad alto rischio chirurgico (EuroSCORE<br />

>10).In questi casi l’utilizzo <strong>di</strong> uno stent a rilascio <strong>di</strong> farmaco (DES) risulta promettente<br />

rispetto allo stent convenzionale (BMS). Nel nostro centro l’in<strong>di</strong>cazione ad un<br />

trattamento con PTCA del TCNP viene formulata in presenza <strong>di</strong> severa instabilità<br />

clinica e/o <strong>di</strong> severa comorbi<strong>di</strong>tà (EuroSCORE >6 = mortalità 30 giorni 11%).<br />

Scopo <strong>di</strong> questo stu<strong>di</strong>o è stato confrontare le caratteristiche cliniche e<br />

l’outcome a breve e me<strong>di</strong>o termine dei pazienti con malattia del TCNP avviati a<br />

rivascolarizzazione con BP o trattati con PTCA ed impianto <strong>di</strong> DES nel periodo<br />

Novembre 2003 - Marzo 2006. A tal fine abbiamo analizzato retrospettivamente i<br />

dati clinici ed angiografici <strong>di</strong> queste due popolazioni ed effettuato un follow-up<br />

aggiornato al Dicembre 2006.<br />

Risultati. Nel periodo <strong>di</strong> osservazione sono stati sottoposti a rivascolarizzazione<br />

134 pz con malattia del TCNP. 58 pz sono stati avviati al BP (gruppo 1) mentre 76 pz<br />

sono stati trattati con PTCA: 51 con impianto <strong>di</strong> DES (gruppo 2) e 25 con impianto<br />

<strong>di</strong> BMS. Dall’analisi delle caratteristiche cliniche emerge che i pazienti del gruppo 2<br />

erano significativamente più anziani (74±9 vs 67±8, p3X ULN); there were<br />

no death, no Q-wave MI (NQWMI). At 30 days of follow-up, one patient (2%) had<br />

a sub-acute stent thrombosis with a NQWMI related to double anti-platelet<br />

therapy early cessation.<br />

Clinical (3-6-9-12 and end study stress test evaluation and car<strong>di</strong>ological<br />

consultation) follow-up (23.0 ± 7.3 months; range 13-40) was obtained in all<br />

patients. MACE rate was 14%: three target lesion revascularisation (TLR, 6%)<br />

and four death (total mortality 8%, 6% car<strong>di</strong>ac**, 2% non car<strong>di</strong>ac). The ischemia<br />

driven angiographic follow-up was performed in 56% of patients between 6 and<br />

12 months after the index procedure and showed three (6%) clinical restenosis,<br />

all treated successfully by PCI (4%) or CABG (2%).<br />

All follow-up MACE occurred within the seven months after the index procedure<br />

except the only non car<strong>di</strong>ac death that occurred during the second year from the<br />

procedure.<br />

80% of follow-up MACE occurred in <strong>di</strong>stal ULMCA stenosis.<br />

Conclusion. PCI with SES for ULMCA is safe with an acceptable mid-term<br />

outcome. However, <strong>di</strong>stal left main stenosis remains a therapeutic challenge with<br />

a higher risk of restenosis and car<strong>di</strong>ac death. CABG remains the gold standard<br />

treatment for this specific anatomic setting.<br />

**car<strong>di</strong>ac death if absence of sure extra car<strong>di</strong>ac causes.<br />

Following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and drug-eluting stent (DES)<br />

implantation, clopidogrel therapy in ad<strong>di</strong>tion to aspirin has led to greater protection<br />

from thrombotic complications than aspirin alone. However, the optimal duration of<br />

combined antithrombotic therapy is unknown. On the basis of observational stu<strong>di</strong>es,<br />

thienopyri<strong>di</strong>ne should be given for at least six months, and ideally up to 12 months in<br />

patients who are not at high risk for blee<strong>di</strong>ng. However, assessment of blee<strong>di</strong>ng<br />

events associated with long-term therapy has not been considered.<br />

We have analysed 1724 consecutive patients treated with DES between April<br />

2002 and December 2004. Combination treatment with aspirin and thienopyri<strong>di</strong>ne<br />

was assigned for at least three months after sirolimus-eluting stent implantation<br />

and for six months after paclitaxel-eluting stent implantation. At 18-month followup<br />

overall rate of antiplatelet therapy associated adverse events was 3.0 %<br />

(53/1724), with 1.1% (19/1724) of serious adverse events and 1.97% (34/1724)<br />

of minor side effects.<br />

Among serious adverse events, all of them requiring hospitalisation, we recorded<br />

4 cases of intracranial haemorrhage, observed respectively after 75, 180, 263,<br />

and 463 days from DES implantation; one of them after blunt head trauma. In all<br />

these cases a cerebral event was the reason for subsequent antiplatelet therapy<br />

<strong>di</strong>scontinuation. Other major events were thrombocytopaenia (1 pt), urogenital<br />

blee<strong>di</strong>ng (1 pt), retinal haemorrhage (1 pt), cholestatic hepatitis (1 pt), and severe<br />

anaemia requiring blood transfusions (11 pts). Minor events included all cases of<br />

mild-moderate gastrointestinal blee<strong>di</strong>ng and drug allergy.<br />

Antithrombotic treatment is increasingly becoming aggressively prescribed. Even<br />

if effective in preventing stent thrombosis and atherosclerotic <strong>di</strong>sease associated<br />

atherothrombosis, antiplatelet therapy can increase the blee<strong>di</strong>ng risk. The<br />

decision to treat a patient with an aggressive antithrombotic regimen for an<br />

extended time period needs to take into account these associated complications.<br />

Objectives. Noninvasive imaging of in-stent restenosis (ISR) would be clinically<br />

useful, but artifacts caused by metallic stent struts have limited the role of early<br />

generation multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) scanners. The aim of this<br />

study was to assess the accuracy of a new generation spiral MDCT scanner (Brilliance<br />

64, Philips Me<strong>di</strong>cal Systems, Cleveland, Ohio) in the <strong>di</strong>agnosis of coronary ISR.<br />

Methods. We examined 41 asymptomatic patients (age 68±8.7 years, 4 women)<br />

with 87 implanted coronary stents (70 drug-eluting stents) who were referred for<br />

repeat 6-month invasive coronary angiography (ICA). Patients underwent MDCT<br />

6.7±6.9 days before scheduled ICA, using intravenous contrast enhancement.<br />

Images were reconstructed in multiple formats using retrospective<br />

electrocar<strong>di</strong>ographic gating. Stents were viewed in their long and short axes, and<br />

were visually classified for the presence or absence of binary ISR (<strong>di</strong>ameter<br />

reduction >50%), inclu<strong>di</strong>ng the 5-mm borders proximal and <strong>di</strong>stal to the stent.<br />

Results. ISR was found by ICA in 13 (15%) of the stented segments and in 8<br />

(19%) patients. Among these, 11 ISR were correctly detected by MDCT;<br />

ad<strong>di</strong>tionally one severely calcified stented segment was considered as occluded<br />

by MDCT (sensitivity 84%, 95% CI 54-98%). Seventy-three of 74 stentedsegment<br />

without ISR were correctly classified by MDCT (specificity 97%, 95% CI<br />

93-100%), whereas two stented-segments were classified as false negative ISR.<br />

Positive pre<strong>di</strong>ctive value (PPV) was 92% (95% CI 84-97%), negative pre<strong>di</strong>ctive<br />

value (NPV) was 97% (95% CI 90-99%), and pre<strong>di</strong>ctive accuracy was 96% (95%<br />

CI 90-99%). After the exclusion of the calcified stented-segment, the sensibility,<br />

the specificity, the PPV, the NPV and the pre<strong>di</strong>ctive accuracy were 84% (95% CI<br />

74-91%), 100% (95% CI 96-100%), 100% (95% CI 96-100%), 97% (CI 90-99%)<br />

and 98% (95% CI 92-99%) respectively.<br />

Conclusions. The high NPV makes MDCT a potentially valuable <strong>di</strong>agnostic tool<br />

in patients with low expected ISR. However, whether MDCT will be a clinically<br />

useful and cost-effective tool for the evaluation of ISR remains to demonstrate in<br />

clinical arena.<br />

Premessa. La nefrotossicità da mezzo <strong>di</strong> contrasto (CIN, contrast-induced<br />

nephropathy) è definita come un deterioramento della funzione renale<br />

caratterizzato da un aumento della creatinina <strong>di</strong> più del 25% entro 3 giorni dalla<br />

somministrazione <strong>di</strong> mezzo <strong>di</strong> contrasto (mdc). La CIN è <strong>di</strong> solito temporanea e<br />

la creatinina ritorna al valore basale entro 15 giorni nel 75% dei casi. Nei<br />

car<strong>di</strong>opatici sottoposti a procedure interventistiche coronariche l’incidenza <strong>di</strong> CIN<br />

varia dal 3.3% al 14.5%. Scopo dello stu<strong>di</strong>o è stato quello <strong>di</strong> valutare l’incidenza<br />

<strong>di</strong> CIN in una popolazione <strong>di</strong> pz con elevato profilo <strong>di</strong> rischio car<strong>di</strong>ovascolare,<br />
