Abstract Background Drug coated balloons (DCBs) in Europe are mainly used in restenotic lesions as endorsed by the European Society of Cardiology, with a class IA recommendation. However, some of the recent data suggest, it can also be considered in a subset of denovo lesions, especially in small vessels. Most DCBs used, are coated with Paclitaxcel. There is no data on the efficacy of Sirolimus in DCBs, the drug of choice in drug eluting stents. In this study, we report outcomes from the use of a Sirolimus coated balloon (SCB) in de novo small-vessel coronary lesions, from a single high yield centre. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on all patients treated with an SCB between March 2018 and October 2020. Follow-up was achieved with clinic visits, telephone calls and admission records. The outcomes measured include cardiac death, target-vessel myocardial-infarction (TVMI), target lesion revascularisation (TLR) and MACE (combination of cardiac death, target-vessel MI and TLR). Results During the study period, 279-patients (with 332-lesions) with de novo lesions were treated with an SCB. The mean age of patients was 65±12 years, 219 (79%) were male, 36% (n=100) had diabetes, 16% (n=45) had chronic kidney disease and 61% were in the setting of acute coronary syndrome (n=169). Predilatation was performed in 96% (320-lesions). Bailout stenting (with DES) was required in 5% of lesions (n=18) of which 16 were due to dissections and 2 were due to recoil >30% following DCB use. The mean diameter and length of DCBs were 2.35 mm and 26 mm respectively. During a median follow-up of 584-days (19-months) cardiac death was reported in 8 patients (3%). Target vessel MI was in 3% (n=9), TLR per lesion was 8% (n=26) and the MACE rate was 11% (n=31). There were no documented cases of acute vessel closure. Conclusion The long-term outcome from the first ever study on sirolimus eluting balloons in de novo small vessel lesions appears promising with low rates of hard endpoints, and acceptable repeat rates of TLR despite a complex group of patients (50% ACS, 36% diabetics and 19% CKD) and lesion subsets (small vessel and diffuse disease). Implanting stents in these subsets renders them vulnerable to restenosis, making treatment challenging and resulting in high rates of recurrence.

Drug-eluting balloons currently constitute a therapeutic tool used in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). Long-term results remain unknown. We evaluated the prognosis of PCI using a second generation paclitaxel-eluting balloon (PEB) in real-world patients. We included all PCI with PEB in de novo or in-stent restenosis coronary lesions performed in our unit from March 2009 to March 2019. We assessed the composite of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) rate after a median follow-up of 42 months. Consecutive patients (n = 320) with 386 lesions were included; 46.9% presented with stable angina and 53.1% acute coronary syndromes; 52.6% of the lesions were in-stent restenosis and 47.3% de novo lesions with a mean diameter of 2.4 ± 0.5 mm. A bare metal stent was implanted in 6.7% and a drug-eluting stent in 8.5% of patients. The MACE rate was 8%: 10 (2.6%) cardiovascular deaths, 13 (3.4%) myocardial infarctions, and 16 (4.1%) target lesion revascularization. The all-cause death rate was 5.2%. No cases of thrombosis were recorded. In conclusion, PEB was a safe and effective tool to treat in-stent restenosis and de novo coronary lesions, especially small vessel disease, during long-term follow-up.

Despite advances in technology, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of severely calcified coronary lesions remains challenging. Rotational atherectomy is one of the current therapeutic options to manage calcified lesions, but has a limited role in facilitating the dilation or stenting of lesions that cannot be crossed or expanded with other PCI techniques due to unfavourable clinical outcome in long-term follow-up. However the results of orbital atherectomy presented in the ORBIT I and ORBIT II trials were encouraging. In addition to these encouraging data, necessity for sufficient lesion preparation before implantation of bioresorbable scaffolds lead to resurgence in the use of atherectomy. This article summarises currently available publications on orbital atherectomy (Cardiovascular Systems Inc.) and compares them with rotational atherectomy.

Object A small percentage of patients will develop a completely new or de novo aneurysm after discovery of an initial aneurysm. The natural history of these lesions is unknown. The authors undertook this statistical evaluation a large cohort of patients with both ruptured and unruptured de novo aneurysms with the aim of analyzing risk factors for rupture and estimating a risk of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Methods A review of a prospectively maintained database of all aneurysm patients treated by the vascular neurosurgery service of Goodman Campbell Brain and Spine from 1976–2010 was performed. Of the 4718 patients, 611 (13%) had long-term follow-up imaging. The authors identified 27 patients (4.4%) with a total of 32 unruptured de novo aneurysms from routine surveillance imaging. They identified another 10 patients who presented with a new SAH from a de novo aneurysm after treatment of their original aneurysm. The total study group was thus 37 patients with a total of 42 de novo aneurysms. The authors then compared the 27 patients with incidentally discovered aneurysms with the 10 patients with SAH. A statistical analysis was performed, comparing the 2 groups with respect to patient and aneurysm characteristics and risk factors. Results Thirty-seven patients were identified as having true de novo aneurysms. This group had a female predominance and a high percentage of smokers. These 37 patients had a total of 42 de novo aneurysms. Ten of these 42 aneurysms hemorrhaged. De novo aneurysms in both the SAH and non-SAH group were anatomically small (< 10 mm). The estimated risk of hemorrhage over 5 years was 14.5%, higher than the expected SAH risk of small, unruptured aneurysms reported in the ISUIA (International Study of Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms) trial. There was no statistically significant correlation between hemorrhage and any of the following risk factors: hypertension, diabetes, tobacco and alcohol use, polycystic kidney disease, or previous SAH. There was a statistically significant between-groups difference with respect to patient age, with the mean patient age being significantly older in the SAH aneurysm group than in the non-SAH group (p = 0.047). This is likely reflective of longer follow-up and discovery time, as the mean length of time between initial treatment and discovery of the de novo aneurysm was longer in the SAH group (p = 0.011). Conclusions While rare, de novo aneurysms may have a risk for SAH that is comparatively higher than the risk associated with similarly sized, small, initially discovered unruptured saccular aneurysms. The authors therefore recommend long-term follow-up for all patients with aneurysms, and they consider a more aggressive treatment strategy for de novo aneurysms than for incidentally discovered initial aneurysms.
