Background: Fractional flow reserve (FFR) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) provides prognostic information, but limited data are available regarding prognostication using post-PCI coronary flow reserve (CFR). In this study we aimed to assess the prognostic value of post-procedural FFR and CFR for target vessel failure (TVF) after PCI.Methods and Results: This lesion-based post-hoc pooled analysis of previously published registry data involved 466 patients with chronic coronary syndrome with single-vessel disease who underwent pre- and post-PCI FFR and CFR measurements, and were followed-up to determine the predictors of TVF. The prognostic value of post-PCI CFR and FFR was compared with that of FFR or CFR alone. Post-PCI FFR/CFR discordant results were observed in 42.5%, and 10.3% of patients had documented TVF. Receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis revealed that the optimal cutoff values of post-PCI FFR and CFR to predict the occurrence of TVF were 0.85 and 2.26, respectively. Significant differences in TVF were detected according to post-PCI FFR (≤0.85 vs. >0.85, P=0.007) and post-PCI CFR (<2.26 vs. ≥2.26, P<0.001). Post-PCI FFR ≤0.85 and post-PCI CFR <2.26 were independent prognostic predictors.Conclusions: After PCI completion, discordant results between FFR and CFR were not uncommon. Post-PCI CFR categorization showed incremental prognostic value for predicting TVF independent of post-PCI FFR risk stratification.

Background:Differences between resting full-cycle ratio (RFR) and diastolic pressure ratio (dPR) have not been sufficiently discussed. This study aimed to investigate if there is a difference in diagnostic performance between RFR and dPR for the functional lesion assessment and to assess if there are specific characteristics for discordant revascularization decision-makings between RFR and dPR.Methods and Results:A total of 936 intermediate lesions in 776 patients who underwent measurements of fractional flow reserve (FFR), coronary flow reserve (CFR), and the index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) were retrospectively studied. Physiological indices were measured from anonymized pressure recordings at an independent core laboratory. Both RFR and dPR measures were highly correlated (r=0.997, P<0.001), with equivalent diagnostic performance relative to FFR-based decision-makings measured by using a dichotomous threshold of 0.80 (accuracy, 79.7% vs. 80.1%, respectively, P=0.960). The rate of diagnostic discordance was 4.7% (44/936), with no RFR−/dPR+ lesions observed. An overall significant difference in FFR and CFR values were detected among RFR/dPR-based classifications. The prevalence of positive studies was significantly higher for RFR than dPR (54.3% vs. 49.6%, respectively, P=0.047) when using the cut-off value of 0.89.Conclusions:Both RFR and dPR were highly correlated, but the prevalence of positive studies was significantly different. The revascularization rate may differ significantly according to the resting index used.

A 53-year-old woman was hospitalized for general fatigue and palpitations. An electrocardiogram showed ST elevation and T wave inversion in leads II, III, aVF, and V4~6. Cardiac catheterization was performed since the echocardiogram demonstrated the existence of a left ventricular apical aneurysm. Left ventriculography showed an aneurysm of the apex. An endomyocardial biopsy specimen from the left ventricular apical wall demonstrated typical noncaseating granulomas with giant cells. The patient was diagnosed as having cardiac sarcoidosis. There was no evidence suggesting involvement of other systemic organs. Cardiac sarcoidosis should be considered within a spectrum of diseases that cause left ventricular aneurysm.
