Detection of Atherosclerotic Inflammation by68 Ga-DOTATATE PET Compared to [18 F]FDG PET Imaging

Abstract Background Inflammation drives atherosclerotic plaque rupture. Although inflammation can be measured using fluorine-18-labeled fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography ([18 F]FDG PET), [18 F]FDG lacks cell specificity, and coronary imaging is unreliable because of myocardial spillove...

description Abstract Background Inflammation drives atherosclerotic plaque rupture. Although inflammation can be measured using fluorine-18-labeled fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography ([18 F]FDG PET), [18 F]FDG lacks cell specificity, and coronary imaging is unreliable because of myocardial spillover. Objectives This study tested the efficacy of gallium-68-labeled DOTATATE (68 Ga-DOTATATE), a somatostatin receptor subtype-2 (SST2 )-binding PET tracer, for imaging atherosclerotic inflammation. Methods We confirmed68 Ga-DOTATATE binding in macrophages and excised carotid plaques.68 Ga-DOTATATE PET imaging was compared to [18 F]FDG PET imaging in 42 patients with atherosclerosis. Results Target SSTR2 gene expression occurred exclusively in “proinflammatory” M1 macrophages, specific68 Ga-DOTATATE ligand binding to SST2 receptors occurred in CD68-positive macrophage-rich carotid plaque regions, and carotid SSTR2 mRNA was highly correlated with in vivo68 Ga-DOTATATE PET signals (r = 0.89; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.28 to 0.99; p = 0.02).68 Ga-DOTATATE mean of maximum tissue-to-blood ratios (mTBRmax ) correctly identified culprit versus nonculprit arteries in patients with acute coronary syndrome (median difference: 0.69; interquartile range [IQR]: 0.22 to 1.15; p = 0.008) and transient ischemic attack/stroke (median difference: 0.13; IQR: 0.07 to 0.32; p = 0.003).68 Ga-DOTATATE mTBRmax predicted high-risk coronary computed tomography features (receiver operating characteristics area under the curve [ROC AUC]: 0.86; 95% CI: 0.80 to 0.92; p < 0.0001), and correlated with Framingham risk score (r = 0.53; 95% CI: 0.32 to 0.69; p
