Brief Summary:

Ischemia-guided revascularization is the cornerstone of contemporary management of coronary artery disease (CAD). Coronary physiological assessment is advocated in the catheter laboratory to guide percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and it is widely accepted that an FFR ≤ 0.80 is a good indicator for vessels to benefit from revascularization. Nevertheless, a significant proportion of PCI patients continue to experience adverse events related to both stented segment and/or residual or diffuse disease. Our group recently demonstrated the feasibility of pullback pressure gradient (PPG) derived from virtual Quantitative Flow Ratio (QFR) pullback curve, which is an index of atherosclerosis functional pattern and can be used to epitomize the pathophysiological pattern of CAD as focal or diffuse.

In this regard, the current study will investigate the incremental value of PPG added to QFR haemodynamic assessment in ischemia-causing vessels received PCI in predicting adverse outcomes.

Detailed Description:

Ischemia-guided revascularization is the cornerstone of contemporary management of coronary artery disease (CAD). Coronary physiological assessment is advocated in the catheter laboratory to guide percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and it is widely accepted that an FFR ≤ 0.80 is a good indicator for vessels to benefit from revascularization. Nevertheless, a significant proportion of PCI patients continue to experience adverse events related to both stented segment and/or residual or diffuse disease. Our group recently demonstrated the feasibility of pullback pressure gradient (PPG) derived from virtual Quantitative Flow Ratio (QFR) pullback curve, which is an index of atherosclerosis functional pattern and can be used to epitomize the pathophysiological pattern of CAD as focal or diffuse.

In this regard, the current study will investigate the incremental value of PPG added to QFR haemodynamic assessment in ischemia-causing vessels received PCI in predicting adverse outcomes.

The study cohort is derived from the PANDA-III study (Comparison of BuMA eG Based BioDegradable Polymer Stent With EXCEL Biodegradable Polymer Sirolimus-eluting Stent in "Real-World" Practice) (NCT02017275). In this cohort, vessels with measurable QFR≤ 0.80 will be included. According to the PPG index calculated from QFR virtual pullback curve and treatment strategy chosen, the included vessels were divided into three groups(vessels with PCI strategy and low PPG index (group A), vessels with PCI strategy with high PPG index (group B) and vessels with conservative strategy (group C)) and 2-year clinical outcomes for each group will be compared.

Group/Cohort Intervention/treatment
Group A
QFR≤0.80 vessels with PCI strategy and low PPG index
Device: Quantitative Flow Ratio derived PPG

From coronary angiographic images, QFR will be calculated and virtual pullback curve will be abstracted and PPG index will be calculated as:

PPG index={MaxPPG20mm/△QFRvessel+(1-length with functional disease/Total vessel length) }/2.


Group B
QFR≤0.80 vessels with PCI strategy and high PPG index
Device: Quantitative Flow Ratio derived PPG

From coronary angiographic images, QFR will be calculated and virtual pullback curve will be abstracted and PPG index will be calculated as:

PPG index={MaxPPG20mm/△QFRvessel+(1-length with functional disease/Total vessel length) }/2.


Group C
QFR≤0.80 vessels with conservative strategy
Device: Quantitative Flow Ratio derived PPG

From coronary angiographic images, QFR will be calculated and virtual pullback curve will be abstracted and PPG index will be calculated as:

PPG index={MaxPPG20mm/△QFRvessel+(1-length with functional disease/Total vessel length) }/2.





Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Vessel-oriented composite outcome [ Time Frame: at 2 years from index procedure ]
    Vessel-oriented composite outcome (VOCO) including vessel related ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization, vessel-related myocardial infarction (MI), and cardiac death.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Cardiac death or vessel-related MI [ Time Frame: at 2 years from index procedure ]
    Cardiac death or vessel-related MI

  2. Vessel-related MI [ Time Frame: at 2 years from index procedure ]
    Vessel-related MI

  3. Cardiac death [ Time Frame: at 2 years from index procedure ]
    Cardiac death
