Fractional Flow Reserve versus Angiography-Guided Management of Coronary Artery Disease: A Meta-Analysis of Contemporary Randomised Controlled Trials

Annette M. M. Maznyczka, Connor J. J. Matthews, Jonathan M. M. Blaxill, John P. P. Greenwood, Abdul M. M. Mozid, Jennifer A. A. Rossington, Murugapathy Veerasamy, Stephen B. B. Wheatcroft, Nick Curzen, Heerajnarain Bulluck

Summary: This study compared the efficacy and safety of FFR-guided versus angiography-guided management strategies in patients with obstructive CAD. The results showed no difference in outcomes such as all-cause mortality, MI, and unplanned revascularisation, but an FFR-guided strategy led to significantly fewer patients needing revascularisation.

The Holistic Coronary Physiology Display: Calculation of the Flow Separation Index in Vessel-Specific Individual Flow Range during Fractional Flow Reserve Measurement Using 3D Coronary Reconstruction

Health-Related Quality of Life and Angina in Fractional Flow Reserve- Versus Angiography-Guided Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: FARGO Trial (Fractional Flow Reserve Versus Angiography Randomization for Graft Optimization)

Anne Langhoff Thuesen, Lars Peter Riber, Karsten Tange Veien, Evald Hoj Christiansen, Svend Eggert Jensen, Ivy Modrau, Jan Jesper Andreasen, Britt Borregaard, Anders Junker, Poul Erik Mortensen, Lisette Okkels Jensen

Summary: This study found that patients who underwent CABG guided by FFR or angiography showed significant improvements in HRQoL and angina 6 months after the surgery, with no difference between the two groups. Graft failure or low FFR in deferred lesions were associated with lower HRQoL and more severe angina.

Summary: In this case, a 67-year-old obese man with diabetes underwent surgical revascularization after coronary restenosis. Five years later, he developed refractory angina, which was successfully treated with interventional therapy, resulting in significant improvement in graft diameter and symptom relief.

Microvascular Resistance Reserve for Assessment of Coronary Microvascular Function JACC Technology Corner

Keulards, Jeroen Sonck, Marcel Van't Veer, Emanuele Barbato, Jozef Bartunek, Marc Vanderheyden, Eric Wyffels, Annemiek De Vos, Mohamed El Farissi, Pim A. L. Tonino, Olivier Muller, Carlos Collet, William F. Fearon

Summary: This study proposes microvascular resistance reserve (MRR) as a specific index for assessing coronary microvascular function, independent of autoregulation and myocardial mass, based on absolute values of coronary flow and pressure. The research found a strong correlation between continuous thermodilution-derived MRR and Doppler MRR, suggesting MRR as a specific, quantitative, and operator-independent metric for quantifying coronary microvascular dysfunction.

Summary: In patients with chronic coronary syndrome, physiology-guided PCI and CABG are associated with better outcomes compared to angiography-guided PCI. CABG also reduces the rates of myocardial infarction and death, but increases the risk of stroke.

Current concepts in coronary artery revascularisation

Mario Gaudino, Felicita Andreotti, Takeshi Kimura

Summary: Coronary artery revascularisation can be done through surgery or percutaneous intervention. Surgery has higher risks and longer recovery time, but offers long-term reduction of recurrent cardiac events. The choice between surgical or percutaneous intervention depends on clinical and anatomical reasons or personal preferences. Medical therapy is crucial in combination with coronary revascularisation, and some patients may achieve similar results with medical therapy alone. The existing revascularisation data mainly focus on white, non-elderly, male populations in high-income countries, so there is an urgent need for robust data in other populations.

CABG versus PCI - End of the Debate?

Frederick G. P. Welt

Summary: The management of coronary artery disease has been evolving through debates, especially regarding the use of CABG or PCI in patients with multivessel disease. Randomized trials have shown that CABG is superior to PCI in patients with higher disease burden and lesion complexity, as well as in those with diabetes. However, there are still unanswered questions regarding which populations benefit the most.

Oldroyd, Olaf Wendler, Michael J. Reardon, Y. Joseph Woo, Alan C. Yeung, Nico H. J. Pijls, Bernard De Bruyne, Manisha Desai, Mark A. Hlatky

Summary: This study compared the impact of fractional flow reserve-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with current generation drug-eluting stents and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) on quality of life. The results showed that there was no significant difference in quality of life between the two groups at 1 year. The rate of significant angina was low in both groups and not significantly different. PCI resulted in a better trajectory of improvement in quality of life and better working status, particularly in younger patients.

Robust Association Between Changes in Coronary Flow Capacity Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention and Vessel-Oriented Outcomes and the Implication for Clinical Practice

Summary: This study investigated the determinants and prognostic implications of changes in coronary flow capacity (CFC) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). The results showed that changes in CFC were associated with the risk of incident target vessel failure (TVF) and were largely predicted by the pre-PCI CFC status.

Summary: The study assessed the feasibility and accuracy of a non-invasive FFR calculation based on CTCA for predicting coronary hemodynamics before and after stenting, finding a good correlation and agreement with invasive FFR, especially in predicting the hemodynamic effects post-stenting, indicating its potential as a useful tool in PCI planning.

Summary: The study explored the association between invasive coronary physiology parameters and 2D and 3D qualitative coronary angiography, finding that 2D-QCA analysis resulted in less severe stenosis severity. Some lesions showed an angiographic-functional mismatch, suggesting that coronary angiography may not always accurately identify lesions associated with myocardial ischemia.

Summary: The study found that internal thoracic artery graft for coronary arteries with gray-zone FFR value may exhibit string phenomenon. Graft failure occurred because the target area had no ischemia before CABG. FFR is useful in pre-operative ischemic evaluation, including scintigraphy, and will influence the success of revascularization, including the selection of grafts.

Summary: Laboratory simulation is increasingly important for teaching microsurgical skills, and training microsurgeons of different specialties within the same simulation laboratory increases efficiency of resource use. A systematic review identified 141 papers describing specialty-specific microsimulation models, with 49 including evidence of validation. The quality of evidence for the available specialty-specific models in the microscope laboratory is poor.

Hemostasis, coagulation and thrombin in venoarterial and venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: the HECTIC study

Robson, Sarah Hayes, Hayden Alicajic, Anna Hines, Alice Whyte, Nophanan Chaikittisilpa, Timothy James Southwood, Paul Forrest, Richard J. Totaro, Paul G. Bannon, Scott Dunkley, Vivien M. Chen, Mark Dennis

Summary: This study found significant differences in coagulation profiles and thrombin generation between patients supported with VA and VV ECMO, with VA patients showing a more pronounced consumptive coagulopathy and higher thrombin generation. VA patients required a lower heparin dose to suppress thrombin generation. Despite these differences, there were no significant variations in bleeding or thrombotic event rates between VV and VA patients when adjusted for days on ECMO support. More research is needed to develop tailored anticoagulation strategies based on the mode of ECMO support.

Summary: There is an urgent need for models that faithfully replicate heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), but current approaches have limitations from cellular to animal models. Recent advances include three-dimensional 'organoids' incorporating mature iPSCs and porcine models that approximate human physiology, but cost and time considerations restrict their widespread use.
