PCI Flashcards
One yr Stent thrombosis rate with new generation DES
<1%
One yr restenosis rate with new generation DES
<5%
Rates of very late Stent thrombosis beyond 1 yr
0.1-0.2% per year
Rates of very late stent restenosis beyond one year
1-2% per year
Theoretical advantage of BRS (bio reabsorbable scaffold ) is
Restoring vessel physiology
Length of catheters, normal GW, PTCA wire, Balloon, microcatheter
100;145;190; 145; 150
3 types of newer stents
- Bioreabsorbable polymer DES
- Polymer free DES
- Bioreabsorbable DES or scaffolds
Stent thrombosis types
- Late-1 month to 12 months
- Early-Less than 1 month
- Very late- More than 12 months
ie 2nd month is Late
2nd Year is Very Late
SB occlusion is higher if the angle with main branch is less than
45 degrees
SB of —-size should be preserved
More than 2mm
Most frequently used bifurcation strategy
Provisional T stenting
Strategy for side branch <2.5 mm is
Balloon Angio if required to KIO- Keep it open
When to consider elective stenting of SB
Size 2.5 mm or more
Lesion more than 3 mm from ostia
Consider in these cases
The inner diameter of 6F,7F& 8F guides are
.07 inch, .08 inch and .09 inch respectively
ie one plus
2 stent technique can be done with —–guide
7F
One stent and a balloon can be accomadated in a 6 F.( monorail)
In bifurcation which branch to wire first
SB as it is usually the difficult one
The main technical concern in 2 stent bifurcation tech is
Preventing wire wrapping
Maneuver for removing Amplatz catheter
Push and Turn maneuver
NEVER pull back like a Judkins. Will dissect infr wall of Vessel
What is angle Theta in coronary intervention
Angle between the JL and opposite wall of Aorta .The inferior angle.
If angle Theta is 90 degree the Cos Theta is 0 So force of dislodgement is less. So greater the angle better the support.
That’s why in TRI JL3.5 gives better support than JL 4 . As angle Theta will be more
Tricks and Tips
Persistent thrombus in PCI. What to do
If wire is in lumen,
A. For large thrombus- Thromectomy using Angiojet device
B. For smaller and distal thrombus-Aspiration
If still thrombus…
C. Can give intracoronary rTPA 5mg ever 5 mts to a max dose of 50 mg ? some say 25 mg max
Then if coronary is clean Heparin infusion for 24 hrs and maintain ACT above 200
If coronary is not clean (thrombus or distal flow suboptimal)Intracoronary bolus of 2b3a followed by infusion for IV 12 hours
Preferred bifurcation tech when LMCA is short or in Emergency
V stenting
Coulette technique is indicated inLM when
LM/LCx angle is less than 60
Treatment of kink site stenosis of LIMA in CABG
Usually resolves spontaneously.
To treat only if ischemic sequelae
Order and site of putting grafts in CABG
RCA grafts -attached to Rt side of Aorta. So use LAO view
Left sided grafts- LAD, Diagonal, LCx in that order. LAD closest to Aortic valve. From ANTERIOR aspect of Aorta. So use RAO view
Diameter of normal adult LIMA
1.9-2.6 cm
While SVG is 3.1-8.5 cm
Gold standard for calcification lesions
Rotational atherectomy
Stent grafts may shorten upto____% on inflation
25%
Burr to artery ratio when rotablation done prior to stenting
0.6-0.7/1
Intermediary coronary stenosis means
B/w 40-80%
How to untwist a twisted guide
- If possible push it into a larger area like Aorta from a smaller branch
- Gently push an .035 wire through the twisted area
How to change a guide with wire across a lesion
- Extend the wire
- While injecting CONTRAST from a syringe; pull Guide out retaining PTCA wire.
Then insert the new guide through 0.035 wire keeping PTCA wire in position.
Then finally reinsert the Guide though a balloon catheter
D2B time in PPCI
Less than 90 mts
Further reduction may not result in better outcomes
Now D2B is not preferred. FMC -first medical contact (ie time at which someone makes the ECG diagnosis) is used 2017
The skin crease in thigh is distal to CFA bifurcation in ……..%
70%. .CFA bifurcation was on an average 6mm above skin crease.
