- Abstract
- Coronary stent underexpansion is associated with restenosis and stent thrombosis. In clinical studies of atherosclerosis, high wall shear stress (WSS) has been associated with activation of prothrombotic pathways, upregulation of matrix metalloproteinases, and future myocardial infarction. We hypothesized that stent underexpansion is predictive of high WSS. WSS distribution was investigated in patients enrolled in the prospective randomized controlled study of angulated coronary arteries randomized to undergo percutaneous coronary intervention with R-ZES or X-EES. WSS was calculated from 3D reconstructions of arteries from intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and angiography using computational fluid dynamics. A logistic regression model investigated the relationship between WSS and underexpansion and the relationship between underexpansion and stent platform. Mean age was 63 +/- 11, 78% were male, 35% had diabetes, mean pre-stent angulation was 36.7 degrees +/- 14.7 degrees. Underexpansion was assessed in 83 patients (6,181 IVUS frames). Frames with stent underexpansion were significantly more likely to exhibit high WSS (> 2.5 Pa) compared to those without underexpansion with an OR of 2.197 (95% CI = [1.233-3.913], p = 0.008). There was no significant association between underexpansion and low WSS (< 1.0 Pa) and no significant differences in underexpansion between R-ZES and X-EES. In the Shear Stent randomized controlled study, underexpanded IVUS frames were more than twice as likely to be associated with high WSS than frames without underexpansion.
