Clinical Implications of Fractional Flow Reserve Measured Immediately After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of the present study was to find the independent predictors of Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) measured immediately after percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stent implantation (post-PCI FFR) and investigate if applying vessel-specific post-PCI FFR cut-off values to predict target vessel failure (TVF), a composite of cardiac death (CD), non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI) and target vessel revascularization (TVR), or a composite of CD and MI ameliorated its predictive power.

Methods

Consecutive patients with post-PCI FFR measurement at our center between 2009 and 2021 were included in this analysis.

Results

A total of 434 patients with 500 vessels were included. Median pre-PCI FFR was 0.72 with no difference between LAD and non-LAD
