Abstrakt: The prevalence of high-bleeding-risk (HBR) patients who undergo coronary stenting has been reported as 20–40%. This study sought to assess vascular healing in HBR patients by coronary angioscopy (CAS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). We prospectively analyzed 38 HBR patients with coronary artery disease who successfully underwent everolimus-eluting stent (EES) implantation (20 patients, 23 lesions) or drug-coated stent (DCS) implantation (18 patients, 18 lesions). Follow-up coronary angiography, CAS, and OCT were planned at 3 months after the procedure. The clinical characteristics and inclusion criteria of HBR were comparable between groups. CAS analysis showed that mean yellow color grade was significantly higher with EES than with DCS (1.33 [1.0, 1.67] vs. 1.0 [0.67, 1.5]; P = 0.04). In contrast, OCT analysis demonstrated that most struts in both groups were well-apposed struts with neointimal coverage (93.9% each; P = 1.00), and percentages of the mean neointimal area were comparable between EES and DCS (4.4 ± 3.5 mm2 vs. 4.5 ± 4.1 mm2; P = 0.91). The frequency of uncovered struts was significantly lower with EES than with DCS (2.4% vs. 5.3%; P < 0.001), whereas the frequency of malapposed struts was significantly higher with EES than with DCS (3.5% vs. 0.8%; P < 0.001). During follow-up, no stent thrombosis or major bleeding complications were encountered in either group. Among HBR patients, both EES and DCS demonstrated good vascular healing at 3-month follow-up with some different features in CAS and OCT assessments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
