Study summary

In patients with 50-90% stenosis of the coronary artery, the coronary roadmap (dynamic roadmap) is performed when the conventional fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) are performed. coronary roadmap system) to confirm the effectiveness of the function.

Read the detailed description

In coronary angiography, 50% or more stenosis of the causative vessel is observed in a patient with stable angina pectoris (SAP) or 50% or more stenosis of a non-causative vessel is observed in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) Based on 0.90, if it is less than 0.89, PCI is performed, and if it is 0.90 or more, drug treatment is performed. When the pressure wire tests are performed, the pressure wire is inserted from the origin of the blood vessel through the lesion to the distal portion, and the pressure wire is placed at the distal end of the blood vessel for measurement. In this process, there are many cases where the pressure wire escapes the branch blood vessel or does not pass through well. It takes a long time to stand up and evaluate stenosis, and in many cases, an additional contrast medium is used to additionally check blood vessel travel and to check the position and condition of the pressure wire. To overcome this, the software roadmap installed in the cardiac fluoroscopy device of the cardiac catheterization room can be helpful. However, there are currently no studies related to roadmaps in coronary artery examination. Therefore, in this study, we want to evaluate the effectiveness of the roadmap when examining FFR and iFR.

  • Procedureroadmap

    FFR and iFR tests using the roadmap system, or FFR and iFR tests without using the roadmap system. Pressure wire into guiding catheter The equalization of the pressure wire with the aortic pressure(after placing the pressure wire on the tip of the guiding catheter and removal of contrast media by saline flushing) and the placement of the pressure wire on the distal of the blood vessel to measure iFR. After iFR measurement, the pressure wire was pulled back into the tip of the guiding catheter to check the presence of pressure drift. A final Pd/Pa between 0.97 and 1.03 is considered acceptable. Following confirming no pressure drift, a mode change will be done from iFR to FFR, and then a re-check of the time between the equalization of the pressure wire with the aortic pressure will be planned. In all lesions, FFR value were measured with hyperemia, achieved by intracoronary (IC) bolus injection of nicorandil (Sigmart®; Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) 2 mg.
