Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the study is to compare post-interventional fractional flow reserve (FFR) value between optical coherence tomography(OCT)-guided and angiography-guided strategy for treatment of complex coronary lesion.


Clinical Trial Description

There has been ample evidence of the role of intracoronary imaging for optimizing the stent, especially among the patients with complex coronary lesions. Intracoronary imaging can be used during the entire process of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), from pre-PCI to post-PCI stages. Notably, approximately 15-20% of patients who underwent angiographically successful PCI showed significant stent underexpansion, malapposition, intra-stent thrombus formation, and edge dissection on intracoronary imaging studies, including optical coherence tomography (OCT). Meanwhile, the role of pre-interventional fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement has been well established and recommended by recent guideline. However, although previous studies evaluated the efficacy and safety of FFR-guided decision-making followed by angiographic stent implantation, they did not evaluate functionally optimized revascularization. Actually, the vessels with low post-PCI FFR had substantial proportions of suboptimized stented (underexpansion and acute malapposition) and residual disease in non-stented segments. Furthermore, several large observational studies have suggested that suboptimal physiologic results after PCI is associated with an increased risk of clinical events. Previously, the DOCTORS trial found out that OCT-guided PCI was associated with higher post-PCI FFR than angiography-guided PCI (0.94±0.04 vs. 0.92±0.05, P=0.005). Therefore, OCT can be a useful tool for acquiring functional optimal results after stent implantation. This synergic effect between OCT and post-PCI FFR can be maximized when the investigators perform PCI for complex lesions. This study sought to evaluate compare post-interventional FFR value between OCT-guided and angiography-guided strategy for treatment of complex coronary lesion. ;
