IntroductionIntroduction
• IVUS has become an integral part of all interventional studies. Fundamental IVUS parameters characterizing the success and failure of different stenting techniques are:– % neointimal volume obstruction – acute and late malapposition– edge effects
• PCI of bifurcation lesions is complex and challenging. Despite the advance of DES, restenosis at the side branch (SB) ostium continues to be a problem. Still bifurcation lesions have not been studied with IVUS extensively.
IVUS in bifurcations lesionsIVUS in bifurcations lesions
• Pre-intervention:– Involvement of the SB in bifurcation lesion? → diseased?
stenotic? → stenting technique• Postintervention:
– Has SB been compromised (after provisional stenting)?– Is there adequate stent expansion (after stenting both
branches)?• Follow-up:
– Development of neointimal hyperplasia?– Late malapposition, edge effects?
• IVUS can not adequately assess the SB from the main vessel (MV); therefore it is necessary to image the SBdirectly

PurposePurpose
• There is little data on IVUS findings in both branches after bifurcation lesion intervention regardless of the approach
• Our goal was to acquire and analyze the IVUS images in both branches of bifurcation lesions after different stenting strategies at 8-month follow-up (Nordic Bifurcation Study)
The Nordic Bifurcation Study The Nordic Bifurcation Study
• It was a prospective, multicenter, randomized trial that compared outcomes between 2 different interventional strategies with the sirolimus-eluting stent for the treatment of bifurcation lesions:– Stenting the main vessel with optional stenting of the side branch
(provisional)– Stenting both the main vessel and side branch (routine)
• At 8-month follow-up IVUS substudy was introduced in two centers (Stradins Hospital in Riga, Latvia and SkejbyHospital in Aarhus, Denmark)
MethodsMethods
• IVUS assessment of main vessel or both branches was performed at the time of follow-up angiogram in 115 patients:– 68 patients in Riga and 53 patients in Aarhus
• All IVUS recordings were made with an automated pullback speed of 0.5 mm/s, aiming to start at least 10mm distal and to end at least 10 mm proximal to the stent
• IVUS analysis performed with computer-based quantitative analysis system (QCU–CMS version 4.14 MEDIS Medical Imaging Systems Inc, Leiden, Netherlands)
• IVUS analysis included:– Segment identification– Qualitative analysis– Quantitative (volumetric) analysis

ResultsResults
• Data from Riga centre are summarized for 35 patients after complex stenting technique:– 23 Crush – 2 Culotte– 12 T-stent
• IVUS was performed in both branches in 30 patients and hyst themain branch in 5 patients
• Overall, MB minimum lumen area (MLA) was larger than the SB: 5.5±1.4 mm2 vs. 4.2 ±1.1 mm2
• In MB, MLA was found in:– Distal stent segment in 15 patients (43%)– “Bifurcation” segment in 11 patients (31%)

ConclusionsConclusions
• First results from Nordic Bifurcation Studydemonstrates a trend toward increased neointimal hyperplasia in the main branch segment with multiple layers of stent strutsdespite the minimum lumen/stent area at the side branch
• The major limitation of our study is the lack of pre-interventional and post-implantation IVUS images
ConclusionsConclusions
• Serial IVUS studies are needed to completely assess the success and failure of different complex stenting strategies in bifurcation lesions
• Both branches should be examined to exclude a contribution of stent under-expansion to restenosis and to obtain adequate assessment of SB.
• Standards for the IVUS acquisition and measurements in bifurcation lesions must be established
