1 New Insight about FFR and IVUS MLA Can IVUS MLA Predict FFR <0.80? Seung-Jung Park, MD, PhD Professor of Medicine, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Heart Institute, Asan Medical Center, Seoul, Korea

2 What is the Mismatch Disease?

3 Treat or Not treat No Doubt about Stenting! Visual estimation: 85% IVUS MLA: 2.8 mm 2

4 FFR Intravenous adenosine, 160 µg/kg/min

5 Treadmill test Stage 4 Negative

6 Thallium SPECT Normal

7 Dobutamine Stress EchoCG Baseline Stimulation Negative

8 Mismatch Disease Angiographic DS(%) : 85% IVUS MLA : 2.8 mm 2 FFR : 0.84 Treadmill test : Negative Thallium spect : Normal Stress Echo : Normal What would you do?

9 Mismatch Disease Mismatched problems mainly are between angiographic severity/ IVUS MLA and non-invasive stress test. Not related with FFR.

10 Mismatch Disease in the Cath Lab Comparison analysis; Angiography vs. FFR (n=3000) FFR 1.0 > Mismatch 35% 0.9 of cases is 0.8 not are uncommon 0.7 mismatch! 0.6 FFR QCA Diameter Stenosis (%) QCA Courtesy of Bernard De Bruyne, MD, PhD,

11 Which one is closer to the truth among angiographic stenosis, IVUS MLA, and FFR?

12 The truth is the evidence of objective ischemia.

13 Evidence Based Medicine Treatment relies primarily on noninvasive stress test (objective ischemia).

14 Class III Patient has no evidence of Don t touch without evidence of objective ischemia! ischemia on objective testing, and has not had a trial of medical therapy.

15 Negative non-invasive stress test means ; 0.6% / year, Cardiac Death and MI Excellent In patients Prognosis with normal myocardial! perfusion scan, even in the presence of angiographically proven CAD Shaw LJ, J Nucl Cardiol 2004;11:171-85, Prognostic value of gated myocardial perfusion SPECT. Very large meta-analysis. (n=39,173 patients)

16 Cases of Mismatch Diseases

17 Do you believe Your Eyes? The angiographic severity is not correlated with its ischemic potential. 85% 85% 90% 30% TMT and Thallium SPECT Negative Positive

18 Do you believe IVUS MLA? IVUS MLA of 4mm 2 is too big to define clinical ischemia? 2.8 mm mm mm mm 2 TMT and Thallium SPECT Negative Positive

19 Do you believe FFR value? FFR is constantly matched with non-invasive stress test (TMT and Thallium SPECT) TMT and Thallium SPECT Negative Positive

20 In Fact, FFR is the only matched index with noninvasive stress tests (objective ischemia) in the cath lab.

21 In Fact, 3-dimensional FFR is closer to the truth rather than 2- dimensional angiographic severity or IVUS MLA.

22 Mismatch Disease Do you want to treat the Lesion? based on angiography and/or IVUS MLA Do you want to treat the Patients? based on non-invasive stress test and/or FFR

23 FFR vs. IVUS

24 Is 4 mm 2 of IVUS MLA a little bigger to define clinical ischemia?

47 Honestly Speaking, In My Practice

48 32% 69% Unnecessary Procedure FFR > FFR < MLA mm mm 2 4 mm 2

49 Can IVUS MLA Predict FFR <0.8? No!

50 Can IVUS MLA Predict FFR <0.8? FFR >0.8 FFR < MLA mm mm 2

51 IVUS MLA is can only not one of many predict factors functional affecting coronary significance flow of dynamics. stenosis.

52 by FFR We can do decision making - treat or not treat. (NPV : > 95%)

53 by IVUS MLA We can not do decision making - treat or not treat. (PPV : 37%)

54 Why FFR? To have a decision making ; Treat or Not treat. FFR can be useful as an alternative to stress test in the cath.

55 Why IVUS? Support the Decision Making Real Size Measurement Plaque Characterization Procedure Optimization

56 Paradigm Shift to Functional PCI Start the procedure with FFR, and finish the procedure with IVUS. You can make a good clinical outcomes.
