Fractional Flow Reserve

Outcomes after FFR-guided vs. angiography-guided strategy in treatment of non-infarction-related artery stenosis in acute MI with multivessel disease.

BOSTON — Addition of fractional flow reserve to the classic SYNTAX score enabled researchers to identify patients with multivessel CAD undergoing PCI who would have similar 1-year outcomes as those who received CABG, a speaker reported.

In patients with acute MI and multivessel CAD, a fractional flow reserve-guided PCI strategy for non-infarct-related artery lesions was superior to an angiography-guided PCI strategy, according to the results of the FRAME-AMI trial.

WASHINGTON — In a head-to-head trial, PCI guided by fractional flow reserve was noninferior to PCI guided by IVUS for death, MI and revascularization at 2 years, researchers reported at the American College of Cardiology Scientific Session.

WASHINGTON — In patients with three-vessel CAD, those who underwent fractional flow reserve-guided PCI had similar quality of life at 1 year compared with those who underwent CABG, according to new data from the FAME 3 trial.

In patients with critical limb ischemia, CT-derived fractional flow reserve often detected silent coronary ischemia, and selective revascularization of those diagnosed with it improved outcomes, according to a presentation.
