ABSTRACT
Purpose To clarify the predominant causative plaque constituent for periprocedural myocardial injury (PMI) following percutaneous coronary intervention (a) erythrocyte-derived materials, indicated by a high plaque-to-myocardium signal intensity ratio (PMR) at coronary atherosclerosis T1-weighted characterization (CATCH) MRI, or (b) lipids, represented by a high maximum 4-mm lipid core burden index (maxLCBI4 mm) at near-infrared spectroscopy intravascular US (NIRS-IVUS). Materials and Methods This retrospective study included consecutive patients who underwent CATCH MRI before elective NIRS-IVUS-guided percutaneous coronary intervention at two facilities. PMI was defined as post-percutaneous coronary intervention troponin T values greater than five times the upper reference limit. Multivariable analysis was performed to identify predictors of PMI. Finally, the predictive capabilities of MRI, NIRS-IVUS, and their combination were compared. Results A total of 103 lesions from 103 patients (median age, 72 years [IQR, 64-78]; 78 male patients) were included. PMI occurred in 36 lesions. In multivariable analysis, PMR emerged as the strongest predictor (P = .001), whereas maxLCBI4 mm was not a significant predictor (P = .07). When PMR was excluded from the analysis, maxLCBI4 mm emerged as the sole independent predictor (P = .02). The combination of MRI and NIRS-IVUS yielded the largest area under the receiver operating curve (0.86 [95% CI 0.64, 0.83]), surpassing that of NIRS-IVUS alone (0.75 [95% CI 0.64, 0.83]; P = .02) or MRI alone (0.80 [95% CI 0.68, 0.88]; P = .30). Conclusion Erythrocyte-derived materials in plaques, represented by a high PMR at CATCH MRI, were strongly associated with PMI independent of lipids. MRI may play a crucial role in predicting PMI by offering unique pathologic insights into plaques, distinct from those provided by NIRS.
