Northeast Georgia Heart Center Distal Embolism During Native (130) and SVG (64) PCI – Use of Filters 194 consecutive filter patients STEMI 38%, NSTEMI 32%, Angina 29% Major debris (particles >1mm dia.) was retrieved in 55% The only predictor of major debris was longer stent length (P<0.001) Conclusion: Filters should be considered in PCI of long lesions El-Jack et al J Am Coll Cardiol 2006;47(Suppl A):A213A
Pre and Post PCI MRI and Troponin Demonstrate Myonecrosis Mostly Due To Distal Embolization 50 consecutive patients – all on Plavix + Reopro New Hyperenhancement – 28% (all had ↑Troponin) Stent length correlated with injury (P=0.04) Selvanayagam et al Circulation 2005;111: Correlation between troponin I and mass of hyperenhancement (amount of irreversible injury)
Patterns of Post-PCI Hyperenhancement Representing Focal Myo-necrosis Rarely Observed Adjacent To Stent Selvanayagam et al Circulation 2005;111:
Patterns of Post-PCI Hyperenhancement Representing Focal Myo-necrosis Commonly Observed New Apical Defect Due To Embolization Selvanayagam et al Circulation 2005;111:
SAFER Trial – Comparison of PercuSurge to Routine Stenting in SVG’s 801 Patients Randomized 30 Day MACE Reduced 42% P<0.001 Baim et al. Circulation 2002; 105: RoutinePercuSurge % % 9.6%
Management of No Reflow – It’s not all Particulate Matter Avoid by using embolic protection when appropriate Support the patient (IABP if needed) Aspirate stagnant dye column Deliver microvascular dilators distally “pulse – spray” Sodium Nitroprusside or Calcium blocker – 50 to 100 mcg bolus Adenosine – 10 to 30 mcg doses (t½ < 20sec) 2 drugs is better than 1
Iatrogenic Aortic Dissection Becoming a more common complication Secondary to guide catheter trauma, injection of wedged catheter or balloon rupture Class 1: Limited to coronary cusp Class 2: Limited to cusp and proximal ascending aorta Class 3: Extending to Aortic Arch
Northeast Georgia Heart Center Class 1 Dissection Into the Right Coronary Cusp Successfully Treated with Stent Implantation Dunning et al Cathet. Cardiovasc. Intervent. 51:387, 2000.
Northeast Georgia Heart Center Class 2 Dissection Extending Into the Aorta with RCA Occlusion Requiring CABG Dunning et al Cathet. Cardiovasc. Intervent. 51:387, 2000.
Northeast Georgia Heart Center Class 2 Dissection Above the RCA Treated Successfully with RCA Stent Dunning et al Cathet. Cardiovasc. Intervent. 51:387, 2000.
Class 3 Dissection Extending Into the Aortic Arch often with Fatal Outcome Dunning et al Cathet. Cardiovasc. Intervent. 51:387, 2000.
Northeast Georgia Heart Center Aortic Dissections Almost all are RCA dissections 4/9 cases were with Amplatz guide catheter Most occurred with STEMI patients Class 1 and 2 best treated with observation or stent placement Class 3 need surgery

Coronary Perforation - Diagnosis - ●Angiographic (blush, jet, coronary sinus compression, contrast in pericardium) ●No angiographic evidence in 10-20% ●ECHO (Not needed in 50% at Beaumont) ●Delayed tamponade common (wire induced & IIbIIIa)
Management of Coronary Perforation Hemodynamic Support ●Volume and inotropes ●Pericardiocentesis (pigtail) ●IABP (to resussitate) Seal Perforation ●Reverse heparin ●Balloon occlusion ●Platelets (abciximab) ●Embolization (coil, gel foam, thrombus) ●Covered stent (JoMed available) ●Surgery
Stent Maldeployment Imprecise placement Stent entrapment in uncrossable lesion Unexpandable lesion Sheared off by guide catheter Lost!
Stent Embolization Systemically – generally “safe” Intracoronary –Deploy (if on wire) –Crush (if off wire) –Retrieve with snare or wrapped in parallel guide wires or on small balloon

Northeast Georgia Heart Center Small Balloon Stent Retrieval Brilakis et al CCI 2005;66:33
Northeast Georgia Heart Center Retrieval Devices Brilakis et al CCI 2005;66:33
Mayo Clinic Experience 11,773 PCI’s ●Stent loss in 0.32% ● Successful retrieval 35/38 - balloon expansion and withdrawal 45% - snare 26% -twisted wires 5% -forceps 12% Brilakis et al CCI 2005;66:33
Conclusion ●Complications of PCI have decreased with routine use of intracoronary stents ●However, abrupt closure, perforation, atherothromboembolization and stent regret continue to challenge the interventionalist. ●Attention to prevention, recognition and treatment of these complications is essential
Conclusion ●As a young “attending” establish a team, get a senior mentor ●Don’t be afraid to call the calvary ●ALWAYS tell the patient EXACTLY what happened in “layman’s language”
