Abstract

Background: We hypothesized that the tissue components of in-stent restenosis (ISR) might differ between drug-eluting stents (DES) and bare-metal stents (BMS) and that these differences could be distinguished by qualitative and quantitative optical coherence tomography (OCT) analyses. Methods and Results: One-hundred and twenty-two initial ISR lesions (sirolimus-eluting stents: n=28; paclitaxel-eluting stents: n=51; BMS: n=43) were evaluated with OCT. Based on their OCT appearance, the lesions were classified as homogeneous, layered or heterogeneous. The optical properties of backscatter, attenuation and signal intensity of the neointimal tissue (NIT) were quantified. To evaluate the vascular response after balloon angioplasty (BA), the rate of reduction of the NIT area (NITA) was calculated (NITA before – after BA/NITA before BA at the minimum lumen cross-sectional area). Among the morphologic OCT patterns, the layered type was predominant with DES, whereas lesions were homogeneous with BMS (P<0.001). Backscatter and signal intensity were significantly higher with BMS (P<0.05 and P<0.001 respectively). The NITA reduction rate was significantly greater in the layered and heterogeneous groups than in the homogeneous group (P<0.01). Conclusions: The morphologic OCT patterns of the NIT in ISR differed significantly between DES and BMS, probably reflecting pathologic differences. Layered and heterogeneous tissues might respond better than homogeneous tissue to simple balloon dilatation, suggesting a possible direction for OCT-based ISR treatment strategies.  (Circ J 2013; 77: 652–660)
