Long-Term Clinical Outcomes of Fractional Flow Reserve-Guided Coronary Artery Revascularization in Chronic Kidney Disease.

ABSTRACT: Fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention has shown favorable long-term clinical outcomes. However, limited data exist evaluating the FFR assessment among the chronic kidney disease (CKD) population. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term clinical outcomes of FFR-guided coronary revascularization in patients with CKD. A total of 242 CKD patients who underwent FFR assessment were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups: revascularization (FFR ≤ 0.80) and non-revascularization (FFR > 0.80). The primary endpoint was the composite of cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and target vessel failure (TVF). The key secondary endpoint was TVF. The Cox regression model was used for risk evaluation. With 91% of the ischemic vessels revascularized, the revascularization group had higher risks for both the primary endpoint (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]: 2.06; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.07-3.97; p = 0.030) and key secondary endpoint (aHR: 2.19, 95% CI: 1.10-4.37; p = 0.026), during a median follow-up of 2.9 years. This result was consistent among different CKD severities. In patients with CKD, functional ischemia in coronary artery stenosis was associated with poor clinical outcomes despite coronary revascularization.

Project description:Aims:Coronary flow reserve (CFR) is an integrated measure of the entire coronary vasculature, and is a powerful prognostic marker in coronary artery disease (CAD). The extent to which coronary revascularization can improve CFR is unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) on CFR in patients with stable CAD. Methods and results:In a prospective, multicentre observational study, CFR was measured by 15O-water positron emission tomography as the ratio of stress to rest myocardial blood flow at baseline and 6?months after optimal medical therapy (OMT) alone, PCI, or CABG. Changes in the SYNTAX and Leaman scores were angiographically evaluated as indicators of completeness of revascularization. Follow-up was completed by 75 (25 OMT alone, 28 PCI, and 22 CABG) out of 82 patients. The median SYNTAX and Leaman scores, and baseline CFR were 14.5 [interquartile range (IQR): 8-24.5], 5.5 (IQR: 2.5-12.5), and 1.94 (IQR: 1.67-2.66), respectively. Baseline CFR was negatively correlated with the SYNTAX (??=?-0.40, P?<?0.001) and Leaman scores (??=?-0.33, P?=?0.004). Overall, only CABG was associated with a significant increase in CFR [1.67 (IQR: 1.14-1.96) vs. 1.98 (IQR: 1.60-2.39), P?<?0.001]. Among patients with CFR <2.0 (n?=?41), CFR significantly increased in the PCI [1.70 (IQR: 1.42-1.79) vs. 2.21 (IQR: 1.78-2.49), P?=?0.002, P?<?0.001 for interaction between time and CFR] and CABG groups [1.28 (IQR: 1.13-1.80) vs. 1.86 (IQR: 1.57-2.22), P?<?0.001]. The reduction in SYNTAX or Leaman scores after PCI or CABG was independently associated with the percent increase in CFR after adjusting for baseline characteristics (P?=?0.012 and P?=?0.011, respectively). Conclusion:Coronary revascularization ameliorated reduced CFR in patients with obstructive CAD. The degree of improvement in angiographic CAD burden by revascularization was correlated with magnitude of improvement in CFR.

Project description:Amongst patients with suspected obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD), less than a third of patients have obstructive disease on invasive coronary angiography (ICA) and fewer still have flow-limiting obstructive disease as determined by invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR). FFR is a powerful tool in guiding revascularization of flow-limiting lesions which in turn improves clinical outcome in those with haemodynamically significant obstructive disease. However FFR is infrequently performed due to the cost, time and patient discomfort the procedure entails. Further advances in non-invasive imaging has allowed FFR to be derived non-invasively by applying computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modeling to the coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) dataset without the need to induce hyperemia or modify the standard CCTA acquisition protocol. FFR derived from CCTA has been shown to have excellent correlation with invasive FFR and remains diagnostically robust in presence of reduced signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), coronary calcification and motion artifact. More recently, new data have emerged evaluating the clinical impact of fractional flow reserve computed tomography (FFRCT) on the assessment and management of patients with stable chest pain. One such study is the Prospective LongitudinAl trial of FFRCT: Outcome and Resource IMpacts (PLATFORM) study which showed an improved patient selection for ICA using CCTA-FFRCT approach by increasing the likelihood of identifying obstructive CAD at ICA amongst those intended for invasive testing. CCTA-FFRCT may therefore serve as efficacious gatekeeper to ICA that enriches the ICA population. The utility of FFRCT has also helped deepened our understanding of CAD. Through CFD modeling, it is now recognized that there are mechanistic forces of wall shear stress (WSS) and axial plaque force acting on coronary plaques. This has created further interest in exploring the possible interplay between these mechanistic forces on the development of coronary plaque and vulnerability of these plaques to rupture.
