Clinical Relevance of Impaired Physiological Assessment After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite the optimal angiographic result of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), residual disease at the site of the culprit lesion can lead to major adverse cardiac events. Post-PCI physiological assessment can identify residual stenosis. This meta-analysis aims to investigate data of studies examining post-PCI physiological assessment in relation to long-term outcomes.

Methods

Studies were included in the meta-analysis after performing a systematic literature search on July 1, 2022. The primary end point was the incidence of major adverse cardiac events, vessel-orientated cardiac events, or target vessel failure.

Results

Low post-PCI fractional flow reserve, reported in 7 studies with fractional flow reserve cutoff values between 0.84 and 0.90, includ
