Abstract:
Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of the magnetic navigation system used in the real world pereutaneous coronary artery intervention. Methods All lesions detected by the coronary artery angiography in the magnetic-navigation catheter lab indicated for pereutaneons coronary artery intervention (PCI) were included and treated under the guidance of the magnetic navigation system. The characteristics of the target lesion, process of the procedure, time and dosage of the X-ray exposure, and procedure-related complication were recorded and analyzed. Results One hundred and twenty one patients with 138 lesions were recruited and intervened by PCI during the period from April 2006 to June 2008. Thirty lesions were classified as type A, 50 as type B1, 36 as type B2, 22 as type C (including seven total occlusions). The average stenosis of the target lesions was (85.3±10. 0)%, mean length was (21.1±10.0)mm. Under the guidance of the magnetic navigation system, 134 target lesions were passed by the magnetic guide-wires, the lesion passing ratio was 97. 1%. The X-ray exposure time, X-ray dosage and the contrast volume used during the period of the wire placement were ( 55.9±35.4 ) seconds, ( 98.0±86. 1)mGy/(490. 0±422. 2) μGym~2 and (8. 0±5.4)ml, respectively. A total of 164 stents were implanted in the vessels where the target lesions were passed by the magnetic wires. There was no magnetic navigation system associated complication. Magnetic guide-wires failed to pass four target lesions, two of which were chronic total occlusions (CTOs), and the other two were calcified subtotal occlusions. Conclusions It is feasible and safe to adopt the magnetic navigation system for the real-world coronary artery intervention. The magnetic guide-wire possesses a high lesion-passing ratio. The CTOs and calcified subtotal occlusions are not ideal lesions for use of the magnetic navigation system.
