Editor's Notes

  1. Slide 1: In this presentation we will describe the remodeling response of coronary culprit lesions in patients presenting with stable and unstable coronary syndromes. The results are published in Circulation 2000;101:598-603
  2. Slide 2: Originally, Dr. Glagov described arterial remodeling as an increase in the external elastic membrane area within atherosclerotic coronary lesions. In early coronary artery disease, remodeling maintains the lumen area despite increasing plaque burden. Although first observed in necropsy studies, remodeling has been confirmed in vivo by intravascular ultrasound. The relationship between arterial remodeling and various clinical ischemic syndromes remains uncertain.
  3. Slide 3: Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is a tomographic imaging modality showing lumen and vessel wall. It allows the direct observation of coronary plaque characteristics and development.
  4. Slide 4: The objective of our study was to analyze intravascular ultrasound images in a series of patients with either stable angina or recent onset of unstable symptomatology. We intended to examine the relationship between clinical presentation and plaque features at the culprit lesion, including: -Presence, direction and extent of arterial remodeling. -Plaque morphology and -Plaque eccentricity.
  5. Slide 5: This slide shows the study population: 216 patients with preinterventional ultrasound of native coronary arteries were identified. 85 patients were excluded from the study because of poor image quality, lesion location or heavy calcification. The study group of 131 patients included 85 patients with unstable and 46patients with stable presentation. In the unstable group 79 patients had unstable angina and 9 patients had an acute myocardial infarction. In the stable group 37 patients had stable angina pectoris and 9 patients were asymptomatic but had objective evidence of ischemia.
  6. Slide 6: Intravascular ultrasound images were obtained from a proximal reference site and the culprit lesion site, which was defined as the site with the greatest luminal narrowing. Quantitative variables analyzed included the external elastic membrane area, the lumen area and the plaque area. The plaques were classified according to their predominant morphology as echolucent, echodense, mixed or calcified. The axial distribution of the plaque was described by the eccentricity index, which was defined as: maximum minus minimum plaque thickness divided by maximum plaque thickness times 100.
  7. Slide 7: Arterial remodeling was described by the remodeling index and remodeling category. This slide shows the definitions used in our study and illustrates them by the accompanying figures. The remodeling index was calculated by dividing the external elastic membrane area at the lesion site by the external elastic membrane area of the proximal reference site. Positive remodeling was defined as a remodeling index greater than 1.05 and negative remodeling by a remodeling less than 0.95.
  8. Slide 8: This slide exemplifies the calculation of the remodeling index for a lesion with positive remodeling. It shows the IVUS image of the proximal reference on the left and that of the lesion site on the right. The remodeling index is calculated by dividing the EEM area at the lesion site by the EEM area at the proximal reference site and is, in this example, 1.27.
  9. Slide 9: This slide exemplifies the calculation of the remodeling index for a lesion with negative remodeling. The remodeling index in this example is 0.72.
  10. Slide 10: This table shows the clinical and demographic features of the patient population: There was no significant difference between the stable and unstable group regarding age, gender and lesion location.
  11. Slide 11: This table shows the distribution of risk factors for coronary artery disease between the stable and unstable group. There was no significant difference in the frequency of diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking and positive family history.
  12. Slide 12: The quantitative intravascular ultrasound measurements are shown in this table: At the proximal reference site there was no significant difference between the stable and unstable group regarding the plaque area, EEM area and percent area reduction. At the lesion site, percent area reduction was also similar between the two groups, but the plaque area and the EEM area were significantly larger in the unstable than in the stable group. The Remodeling Index was also significantly larger in the unstable group. It was 1.06 in the unstable and 0.94 in the stable group. The difference was highly significant with a p-value of 0.008.
  13. Slide 13: This slide shows the frequency of positive and negative remodeling in the stable and unstable group. The remodeling category is shown on the horizontal axis and the frequency of each category in the stable and unstable group is shown on the vertical axis. We found positive remodeling to be significantly more common in the unstable group. 52% of patients in the unstable but only 20% in the stable group had positive remodeling at the lesion site. Negative remodeling was significantly more common in the stable group. It was found in 56% of patients in the stable but only 32% of the unstable group. .
  14. Slide 14: This slide shows the plaque morphology in the the stable and unstable group. The predominant morphology is shown on the horizontal axis and the frequency of each morphology in the stable and unstable group is shown on the vertical axis. The frequency of echolucent plaques was significantly higher in the unstable group. We found echolucent plaques in 19% of the unstable lesions but in only 4% of the stable lesions. The frequency of the other categories was similar between the two groups. . In addition to the data shown, we also compared lesion eccentricity between the unstable and stable group. We found no difference in the eccentricity index between the two groups.
  15. Slide 15: This slide exemplifies the association between stable clinical presentation and negative remodeling. It shows the IVUS image of the proximal reference on the left and that of the lesion site on the right. The patient presented with stable angina pectoris. The lesion shows mixed morphology and negative remodeling with a remodeling index of 0.71.
  16. Slide 16: On the other hand, this slide exemplifies the association between unstable clinical presentation and positive remodeling.Again, it shows the proximal reference on the left and the lesion site on the right. The patient presented with an acute myocardial infarction. The plaque has a echolucent morphology and a irregular surface structure suggesting plaque rupture. The lesion shows positive remodeling with a remodeling index of 1.42.
  17. Slide 17: The results of our study are limited for several reasons: The cohort included only relatively severe lesions selected for pre-interventional intravascular ultrasound imaging of the culprit lesion. The presence of the ultrasound catheter within severe lesions might have altered the vessel geometry. The classification of the plaque morphology is based upon subjective visual criteria.
  18. Slide 18: In conclusion, we found significant differences in ultrasound characteristics between unstable and stable lesions: Although luminal narrowing was similar between the two groups, unstable lesions had greater plaque burden and a larger extent of arterial remodeling. A prospective study of the relationship between clinical presentation and plaque morphology is warranted to examine the hypothesis, that bulky remodeled plaques are more vulnerable to mechanical forces, thus leading to plaque rupture and acute coronary syndromes.
  19. Slide 19: Our study is one of several recent IVUS and histologic reports describing the relation between arterial remodeling and clinical presentation in different patient populations.
  20. &amp;lt;number&amp;gt; Slide 20: These studies demonstrate the complex interactions between plaque burden, remodeling and instability of atherosclerotic lesion. During this ACC meeting we will present data examining the remodeling response of mildly-stenotic coronary lesions.
