Coronary CT angiography derived FFR in patients with left main disease.

ABSTRACT: The presence of left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD) is associated with an unfavorable clinical outcome. The clinical utility of FFR_CT testing for non-invasive physiological assessment in LMCAD remains largely unknown. In this single center observational study LMCAD patients were retrospectively identified between November 2015 and December 2017. We evaluated the relationship between LMCAD diameter stenosis and downstream FFR_CT values, and the clinical consequences following FFR_CT testing in patients with LMCAD. The composite endpoint (all-cause death, myocardial infarction, unplanned revascularization) was determined over a median follow-up of 1.1 years. LMCAD was registered in 432 of 3202 (13%) patients having coronary CTA. FFR_CT was presc
