About this study

Official title: Anatomical Assessment Versus Pull Back REsting Full-cycle rAtio (RFR) Measurement for Evaluation of Focal and Diffuse Coronary Disease

The READY register is a multicenter open label registry of patients underwent invasive intracoronary FFR and RFR measurement using the Quantien system. The register collects clinical and epidemiological data of patients scheduled for invasive coronary physiology.

Read the detailed description

Angiographic evaluation protocol:

Coronary diagnostic angiography is performed according to the routine clinical practice. The visual estimate of the diameters stenosis % of the culprit lesion(s) should be input prospectively in the modified Syntax segmentation scheme (https://coronart.hu/) where the corresponding ventricular segments supply is indicated on a polar map. On the same time, the operator is required to record characterize the coronary vessel disease as focal, diffuse or mixed type, and to document his plan for angioplasty on the basis of the visual assessment. The number and length of stents planned for implantation for each patient should be also documented on the basis of visual estimation before the physiological measurements.

Invasive coronary physiology assessment protocol:

PressurewireX will be advanced distally to the investigated lesion(s) of a coronary artery. Resting and hyperemic average pressures will be determined in this distal position (in FFR mode).

A resting manual pullback with 1-2 mm/s speed will be performed (in RFR mode) under simultaneous fluoroscopic control. The "store fluoro" option of the X-ray system allows the co-registration of the pressure drop(s) to the epicardial lesion(s) on the basis of the same time scale of the pullback and the stored fluoro. The use of marker(s) in the Quantien software can enhance the identification of the culprit interval(s) of the pressure pullback curve and the related angiographic details.

A substudy of the register is planned to achieve extended physiological assessment in patients with the suspicion of microvascular disease in line with the latest ESC guideline stressing the role of microcirculatory dysfunction in the adverse outcome events in patients with non-significant coronary stenoses by FFR (class IIa, level B recommendation).

According to the intracoronary average pressure values the pressure bounded CFR interval will be calculated (CFRpb). If the cut-off value CFR=2 lies inside the defined CFRpb interval, then a novel CFR calculation based on three-dimensional reconstruction and simple flow dynamic modelling will be performed to get the exact CFRp-3D value in order to diagnose or exclude microvascular disease. One simple possibility for the characterization of the microvasculature is to define the CFR/FFR index. This value below 2 indicate impaired microvascular vasodilator capacity. For getting more precise microvascular parameter, the flow modeling using the data of the 3D coronary reconstruction and the intracoronary pressure values will provide the microvascular resistance reserve (MRR).

Offline 3D angiographic reconstruction will be performed from the selected two angiograms of good quality, with at least 25◦ difference in angle, using dedicated 3D software.

Statistical Analysis:

Normal distribution will be tested. Descriptive statistics are planned as mean and SD, median (interquartile range), or counts (%) as appropriate. Categorical variables will be compared with the Pearson χ2test. Correlation among variables will be determined by calculating Spearman ρ correlation coefficient. All analyses will be performed in Medcalc program.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Concordance of visual estimation and functional assessment

    Comparison of the visual estimate of coronary lesions and the functional severity of the stenosis assessed by RFR pullback both on lesion- and vessel levels.

    Measured: Baseline, before invasive functional assessment (The visual assessment is performed after the completion of the diagnostic coronary angiography, while the functional evaluation is recorded after the intracoronary physiological measurements)

  2. Characterization the coronary vessel for predominantly focal/diffuse or mixed type of the disease according to visual versus RFR pullback determination.

    Focal disease: ∆RFR >0.05 for <25mm segment length (>0.002/mm) Diffuse disease: ∆RFR >0.05 for >25mm segment length If both focal and diffuse criteria are fulfilled in the investigated vessel, then mixed type disease is diagnosed

    Measured: Baseline, before invasive functional assessment (The visual assessment is performed after the completion of the diagnostic coronary angiography, while the functional evaluation is recorded after the intracoronary physiological measurements)

  3. Evaluation of the concordance of the therapeutic strategies (conservative/PCI/CABG) on the basis of visual evaluation versus RFR measurements.

    Comparison of the rate of indication for the individual therapeutic strategies (conservative/PCI/CABG) by visual estimation and RFR measurements.

    Measured: Baseline, pre-intervention (Theoretical clinical decision is made after the visual assessment of the diagnostic coronary angiography, while the final decision is made after the functional evaluation by intracoronary physiological measurements)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. In cases when the operator decides stent implantation, the planned number of stents also to be investigated according to the visual estimation versus RFR measurement.

    Comparison of the planned number of stents on the basis of visual estimation versus RFR measurement

    Measured: Baseline, pre-intervention (Theoretical clinical decision is made after the visual assessment of the diagnostic coronary angiography, while the final decision is made after the functional evaluation by intracoronary physiological measurements)

  2. In cases when the operator decides stent implantation, the total length of the planned stent(s) also to be investigated according to the visual estimation versus RFR measurement.

    Comparison of the length of the planned stent(s) on the basis of visual estimation versus RFR

    Measured: Baseline, pre-intervention (Theoretical clinical decision is made after the visual assessment of the diagnostic coronary angiography, while the final decision is made after the functional evaluation by intracoronary physiological measurements)
