Popis: The interrelation between multiple stented lesions within one patient in the restenosis process is only partially understood. From 492 patients with follow-up angiograms after coronary stent placement, 115 patients underwent multilesion procedures involving 233 lesions. In randomly chosen 39 patients with 79 lesions, additional intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) studies were performed to measure intimal hyperplasia cross-sectional area (CSA) and thickness. A general linear model with intraclass correlation was used to calculate the coefficient of correlation rho (rho = 1.0 indicates perfect correlation; rho = 0.0 indicates no correlation) of late loss, late loss index, intimal hyperplasia CSA, and intimal hyperplasia thickness. Multivariate analysis showed restenosis in the companion lesion (odds ratio 4.68, 95% confidence interval 1. 68-12.92, P = 0.003) and small minimal lumen diameter preintervention (odds ratio 0.28, 95% confidence interval 0.11-0.73, P = 0.009) to be predictors of restenosis. There was a weak correlation between multiple lesions within the same patient for late lumen loss rho = 0.28 (95% confidence interval 0.10-0.46, P0. 001) and late loss index. IVUS analysis demonstrated correlation of intimal hyperplasia CSA rho = 0.40 (95% confidence interval 0.06-0. 74, P = 0.009) and of intimal hyperplasia thickness. In conclusion, late loss and intimal hyperplasia demonstrate a correlation between multiple stented lesions within one patient. In addition to known lesion related factors, restenosis in a companion lesion is a predictor for restenosis. Cathet. Cardiovasc. Intervent. 51:266-272, 2000.
