CONCLUSION A comprehensive assessment of the coronary circulation, based on separate calculation of epicardial- and microcirculatory conductance, is feasible and provides a clear, coherent depiction of coronary haemodynamics in ischaemic heart disease. As part of this novel approach, calculation of zero flow pressure (an index of extravascular compression) can also be performed. The findings should foster the development of simple, reliable methods for its calculation in the clinical arena.

BACKGROUND The optimal cutoff of fractional flow reserve (FFR) for revascularization is in debate. We evaluated the prognosis of deferred and performed revascularization in coronary stenoses with gray zone FFR (0.75-0.80). METHODS From prospective IRIS-FFR registry, 1334 native coronary stenoses in 1334 patients with gray zone FFR were evaluated. Revascularization was deferred in 683 patients and performed in 651 patients. Primary outcome was a composite of death, myocardial infarction, and target vessel revascularization. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 2.9 years, primary outcome occurred in 55 patients (8.1%) in deferred group and 55 patients (8.4%) in performed group (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.05, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.67-1.66; P¼0.79). Overall mortality was not different between two groups (aHR 0.82; 95% CI 0.34-2.00; P¼0.66). Performed group showed significant higher risk of myocardial infarction (aHR 0.27; 95% CI 0.09-0.80; P¼0.02), mainly due to higher risk of periprocedural myocardial infarction. Spontaneous myocardial infarction was not different between groups (aHR 1.85; 95% CI 0.35-9.75, P¼0.47). Target vessel revascularization was significantly higher in deferred group (aHR 2.17; 95% CI 1.17-4.02; P¼0.01). The trend was consistent after propensity score matching and inverse probability-oftreatment weighting.
BACKGROUND Invasive assessment of the coronary circulation has been largely based on the use of pressure ratios (epicardial-) and resistance (micro-vessels). Simultaneous assessment of epicardial(CEPI) and microvascular conductance (CMICRO), might provide a more coherent (same units for both compartments) and intuitive (expressing deliverability of blood) approach. METHODS Validation of this new approach was performed in a total of 403 both obstructive and non-obstructive coronary vessels interrogated with intracoronary Doppler and pressure in 261 patients with stable angina pectoris. Hyperaemic mid-late diastolic pressure and flow velocity (PV) relationships were calculated from PV loops using an automated algorithm. The slope of the linear PV relationship was first calculated from both aortic and intracoronary pressures and, subsequently, used to derive separately CEPI , CMICRO and zero-flow pressure (Pfz). RESULTS Median CEPI and CMICRO were 4.56 (IQR 2.18 – 8.64) and 1.28 (IQR 0.95-1.73) cm/s/mmHg respectively. Concordance in stenosis severity classification of two validated indices of stenosis severity (FFR and hyperemic stenosis resistance) was used as a robust reference standard to validate CEPI. ROC curves demonstrated an excellent ability of CEPI to characterize significant epicardial stenoses indicating a cutoff of 1.69 (AUC 0.93) with a sensitivity of 93% and a specificity of 82%. Validation of CMICRO (previously reported in endomyocardial biopsies) was not feasible in this population given the lack of a reference standard. Mean Pzf was 29.8914.16 mmHg.
CONCLUSION For coronary stenoses with gray zone FFR, revascularization was not associated with better clinical outcomes. Higher risk of periprocedural myocardial infarction in performed group was offset by higher risk of target vessel revascularization in deferred group.
