摘要

In Japan, the current indication for intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is based on the intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) or optical coherence tomography (OCT) calcium score of ≥ 3. We aimed to investigate a new IVUS-based criterion equivalent to OCT calcium scores. We retrospectively analyzed 110 cases with moderate or severe calcification on angiography, along with analyzable pre-PCI OCT or optical frequency domain imaging and simultaneous pre-/post-PCI IVUS. For the transition from the OCT calcium score to the IVUS-based approach, we used the cutoff value of receiver operating characteristic analyses. OCT-derived maximum calcium angle > 180° was replaced by the IVUS-derived maximum calcium angle > 225°, and the OCT-derived calcium length > 5.0 mm was replaced by the IVUS-derived calcium angle > 180° in > 3 mm length. The IVUS-derived maximum calcium angle > 225° was equivalent to the OCT calcium score ≥ 3 (positive predictive value of 0.972), and meeting both IVUS surrogate markers was equivalent to that of 4 (positive predictive value of 0.982). Patients with the IVUS-derived maximum calcium angle > 225° or meeting both IVUS surrogate markers had a higher incidence of stent underexpansion at the maximum calcification site (10.9% versus 0%, p = 0.044; or 12.8% versus 1.8%, p = 0.046, respectively). An IVUS-derived maximum calcium angle > 225° or meeting both the IVUS-derived maximum calcium angle > 225° and the IVUS-derived calcium angle > 180° in > 3 mm length could provide a useful alternative to OCT calcium score of ≥ 3 or 4 and could predict stent underexpansion at the maximum calcification site.
