  1. Cath ConferenceJuly 30, 2008 Priya Pillutla, M.D.

  2. History • 53 year old firefighter referred for cardiac catheterization • Screening treadmill at outside hospital • Early positive (CP, ECG changes) • Coronary CT at HUCLA with 50% LM, LAD disease • No rest pain, DOE or syncope • Otherwise no complaints Priya Pillutla, M.D.

  3. PMH – HTN, hyperlipidemia • Meds – benazepril, lipitor • NKDA • Social – No tobacco, +social alcohol, no drugs Priya Pillutla, M.D.

  4. Exam • BP 128/80, HR 52, RR 14, sat 99% RA • Latino man in NAD • JVP 5 cm • RRR nl s1/s2. No s3/s4. No murmurs • Lungs clear • No edema • 2+ carotid/radial/brachial/femoral/DP Priya Pillutla, M.D.

  5. Electrocardiogram (Treadmill) Priya Pillutla, M.D.

  9. LHC/Angiography Priya Pillutla, M.D.

  10. IVUS Priya Pillutla, M.D.

  11. Summary • Treadmill – Early CP, ST depressions • Cardiac CT showed 40-50% LM disease, complex 50-60% mid-LAD stenosis • Left heart catheterization • 40-50% LM with IVUS showing minimum lumen area of 8.2 mm2 • 40% ostial LAD lesion • 75-80% mid LAD lesion successfully stented Priya Pillutla, M.D.

  12. Clinical Course • The patient was discharged on ASA and plavix • He will follow up within 1 month for nuclear stress testing to assess for ischemia Priya Pillutla, M.D.

  13. Assessment of Ambiguous LM Stenosis • LM stenosis > 50% linked to poor outcomes • Lesser stenosis also correlated • Limitations of angiography – 40-70% stenosis • No reference segment proximally (short LM) • Remodeling (positive and negative) • Geometry of the vessel • Intra- and inter-observer variability is high • CASS study – when one observer found > 50% LM stenosis, another said no stenosis 19% of the time Leesar et al, CCI, 2007 Tobis et al, JACC, 2007) Priya Pillutla, M.D.

  14. LM Ambiguity – Reasons? • Patients with LM disease almost always (87%) have CAD in other vessels • Thus noninvasive testing may show balanced ischemia • Are there other ways to assess burden of disease? • IVUS • FFR Priya Pillutla, M.D.

  15. Priya Pillutla, M.D.

  16. IVUS For Intermediate LM Disease • Fassa et al, JACC, 2005 • 121 patients with normal or minimally diseased LM had IVUS studies • Lower range of normal was established (within 2 SD) for minimum lumen area as 7.5 mm2* • Study period – 214 patients • If LM indeterminate then IVUS performed • Revascularize if MLA < 7.5 mm2 Priya Pillutla, M.D. * prior studies used 6 mm2

  17. Distribution of MLA Priya Pillutla, M.D.

  18. A: < 7.5mm2, revascularized B: < 7.5mm2, deferred C: > 7.5 mm2, revascularized D: > 7.5 mm2, deferred A vs D; A vs C, C vs D – p value not significant Priya Pillutla, M.D.

  19. Management • Thoughts/suggestions? • Role of CT? Priya Pillutla, M.D.
