Abstract
Background: Prognostic value of poststenting fractional flow reserve (FFR) remains uncertain in patients undergoing an imaging-guided optimal stenting strategy.
Objectives: The authors evaluated the prognostic value of poststenting FFR according to the intracoronary imaging-guided lesion preparation, stent sizing, and postdilation (iPSP) strategy to optimize stent outcomes.
Methods: Poststenting FFR assessment was performed in 1,108 lesions in 1,005 patients from the IRIS-FFR registry. The primary outcome was target vessel failure (TVF), a composite of cardiac death, target vessel myocardial infarction, and target vessel revascularization at 5 years.
Results: At the index procedure, 326 lesions (29.4%) were treated using all 3 parts of the iPSP strategy. In the overall population, poststenting FFR was significantly associated with the risk of TVF at 5 years (per 0.01 increase of FFR, adjusted HR [aHR]: 0.94; 95% CI: 0.90-0.98; P = 0.004). Significant interaction was detected between poststenting FFR and the iPSP strategy on the risk of TVF at 5 years (P = 0.045 for interaction). In the iPSP group, poststenting FFR was not associated with the risk of TVF at 5 years (per 0.01 increase of FFR, aHR: 1.00; 95% CI: 0.96-1.05; P = 0.95), whereas a significant association between poststenting FFR and TVF at 5 years was observed in the no iPSP group (per 0.01 increase of FFR, aHR: 0.94; 95% CI: 0.90-0.99; P = 0.009).
Conclusions: Poststenting FFR showed a significant association with cardiac events. However, its prognostic value appeared to be limited after the application of an imaging-guided optimal stenting strategy.
