Abstract

Heavy coronary calcification hinders successful stent implantation, and cutting balloons can be used for post-dilation after stent deployment. However, evidence regarding its use is limited to case reports. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate in-stent dilation in circumferential coronary calcifications using Wolverine cutting balloons, compared with conventional non-compliance (NC) balloons. Circumferential coronary calcification models were designed based on the patient’s intravascular ultrasound images. Three-dimensional printed models were subjected to bench tests and software analysis was performed using the finite-element method (FEM). As a result, the bench test showed that higher balloon pressure was needed to dilate the models with stent implantation, either using Wolverine (17.1 ± 2.7 atm) or NC Emerge (18.9 ± 1.8 atm), while lower pressure was needed in models without stents using Wolverine [11.7 ± 2.9 atm, analysis of variance (ANOVA) p < 0.001]. Furthermore, models without stents were all successfully cracked by Wolverine at the first dilation, while models with stent implantation needed more dilations (ANOVA p = 0.0132). The FEM showed similar results that the first principal stress was the highest in Wolverine-dilated models without stents. In conclusion, implanted stents significantly increase the difficulty of balloon dilation and adequate pretreatment is critical for successful coronary stenting.
