| description | Objectives:
The aim of this study was to investigate the conformational change of arterial structure in the vasospastic lesion with optical coherence tomography.
Background:
Coronary artery spasm plays an important role in the pathogenesis of ischemic heart diseases. The conformational change of each arterial layer during vasospasm has not been studied in detail.
Methods:
We assessed 19 coronary arteries (10 spasm and 9 nonspasm lesions) with optical coherence tomography during the provocation test for coronary spasm. An intimal bump was defined as 1 or more intimal projections into the lumen that disappeared after the administration of nitroglycerine (NTG). Intimal gathering was defined as a folding/gathering of the intima, resulting in multiple kinks in the luminal contour that resolved after the administration of NTG.
Results:
The spasm lesion more frequently showed an intimal bump at baseline and intimal gathering during spasm compared with the nonspasm lesion (spasm 80% vs. nonspasm 0%, p < 0.01, spasm 100% vs. nonspasm 0%, p < 0.01, respectively). The spasm lesion demonstrated a thicker maximum media thickness (spasm 0.24 ± 0.04 mm vs. nonspasm 0.12 ± 0.03 mm, p < 0.01) at baseline, whereas no differences were observed after the administration of NTG (spasm 0.13 ± 0.03 mm vs. nonspasm 0.13 ± 0.02 mm, p = 0.65).
Conclusions:
Our results suggest that medial contraction occurs even in an asymptomatic state and facilitates the formation of an intimal bump in patients with vasospastic angina. Luminal narrowing during spasm is associated with intimal gathering without alteration of intimal area. |
