Coronary Artery Disease
Conditions
Brief summary
The investigators assessed the hypothesis that whether RH-PAT index (RHI) as a marker of endothelial dysfunction could predict occurrence of ISR after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Detailed description
This is a prospective observational study of all consecutive patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) treated with PCI at Kumamoto University Hospital between January 2010 and September 2012. Inclusion criteria consisted of patients who were symptomatic for myocardial ischemia and who were undergoing stent implantation for significant CAD.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Presence or absence of in-stent restenosis | within 1 year | Based on the Japanese clinical routine, follow-up (F/U) angiography will be performed at six and nine months after PCI with bare-metal stent (BMS) and drug-eluting stent (DES), respectively. ISR was defined as percent diameter stenosis \>50% at F/U angiography assessed by quantitative coronary angiography. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Endothelial Function | within 1 year | Fingertip reactive hyperemia peripheral arterial tonometry (RH-PAT) is a new device that provides noninvasive, automatic, and quantitative evaluation of endothelial dysfunction with low intra- and inter-observer variability. We assess the hypothesis that whether RH-PAT index (RHI) as a marker of endothelial dysfunction could predict occurrence of ISR after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). RHI will be measured using Endo-PAT2000 (Itamar Medical, Caesarea, Israel) before PCI (initial RHI) and at follow-up angiography (F/U RHI) in consecutive patients who had successful PCI in de novo coronary lesions. |
