Abstract
Background
The prognostic impact of complete coronary revascularization relative to non-invasive testing methods is unknown.
Objectives
To assess the association between completeness of revascularization defined by CTA-derived fractional flow reserve (FFRCT) and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with stable angina.
Methods
Multicenter 3-year follow-up study of patients with new onset stable angina and ≥ 30% stenosis by CTA. The lesion-specific FFRCT value (two cm-distal-to-stenosis) was registered in all vessels with stenosis and considered abnormal when ≤ 0.80. Patients with FFRCT ≤ 0.80 were categorized as: Completely revascularized (CR-FFRCT), all vessels with FFRCT ≤ 0.80 revascularized; incompletely revascularized (IR-FFRCT), ≥ 1 vessels with FFRCT ≤ 0.80 non-revascularized. Early revascularization (< 90 days from index CTA) categorized vessels as revascularized. The primary endpoint comprised cardiovascular death and non-fatal myocardial infarction; the secondary endpoint vessel-specific late revascularization and non-fatal myocardial infarction.
Results
Amongst 900 patients and 1759 vessels, FFRCT was ≤ 0.80 in 377 (42%) patients, 536 (30%) vessels; revascularization was performed in 244 (27%) patients, 340 (19%) vessels. Risk of the primary endpoint was higher for IR-FFRCT (15/210 [7.1%]) compared to CR-FFRCT (4/167 [2.4%]), RR: 2.98; 95% CI: 1.01–8.8, p = 0.036, and to normal FFRCT (3/523 [0.6%]), RR: 12.45; 95% CI: 3.6–42.6, p < 0.001. Incidence of the secondary endpoint was higher in non-revascularized vessels with FFRCT ≤ 0.80 (29/250 [12%]) compared to revascularized vessels with FFRCT ≤ 0.80 (5/286 [1.7%]), p = 0.001, and to vessels with FFRCT > 0.80 (10/1223 [0.8%]), p < 0.001.
Conclusion
Incomplete revascularization of patients with lesion-specific FFRCT ≤ 0.80 is associated to unfavorable cardiovascular outcomes compared to those with complete revascularization or FFRCT > 0.80.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography is a unique peer-review journal that integrates the entire international cardiovascular CT community including cardiologist and radiologists, from basic to clinical academic researchers, to private practitioners, engineers, allied professionals, industry, and trainees, all of whom are vital and interdependent members of our cardiovascular imaging community across the world. The goal of the journal is to advance the field of cardiovascular CT as the leading cardiovascular CT journal, attracting seminal work in the field with rapid and timely dissemination in electronic and print media.
