9 The best diagnostic test is associated with improved outcomes Lead to beneficial therapy and/or avoidance of harm What is the evidence for invasive FFR? Courage Trial: Stable CAD Anatomic Assessment (no LM lesion) Anatomic (PCI) vs OMT PCI+OMT OMT Death 7.6% 8.3% MI 13.2% 12.3% ACS 12.4% 11.8% Total: 19.0% 18.5% 4.6 year follow-up Boden W et al.

10 FAME 1 Trial Meta-analysis (DEFER; FAME 1) of FFR studies and outcomes 20% fewer adverse events (vs. anatomy, OMT) 10% better anginal relief (vs. OMT alone) FFR is the clinical standard Johnson N, et al. JACC 2014;64: Page 10 of 42

11 FAME 2 n=441 n=447 Stable angina, multi-vessel CAD FFR < 0.8 PCI + OMT vs OMT 2 year f/u Primary combined endpoint 8.1 vs 19.5% (p< 0.001) Targeted PCI improved outcome De Bruyne B et al.

12 Stress or anatomic (invasive or noninvasive) imaging tests serve as a surrogate for the gold standard of invasive FFR FFR Versus QCA, QCT, CCA, and CTCA (FFR invasive physiologic standard) Meijboom, W. B. et al. J Am Coll Cardiol 2008;52: Page 12 of 42

13 FFR: Comparison of CA (QCA) vs CCTA n= 252 pts All with FFR, QCA, and CCTA Defacto trial patients with intermediate severity lesions (30 to 90%) 54% with abnormal FFR per patient (37% per vessel) CA and CCTA no difference in predicting lesion causing ischemia Same result per vessel (not shown) Budoff MJ, et al. JACC Img 2016;9: Rationale for FFR-CT CCTA problems with specificity and PPV QCA and CCTA highly correlated Stenoses > 50% predict ischemia < ½ lesions Stress SPECT poorly identifies specific ischemic coronary territories DEFER, FAME 1, 2 lessen events with targeted PCI based on invasive FFR Better than angio guided PCI or best med tx De Bruyne B, et al.

14 Inlet and outlet boundaries Millions of nonlinear differential equations (Navier-Stokes) Myocardial mass Coronary anatomy Form-function principles Standard coronary CTA acquisition Post-processing technique No additional contrast or radiation No additional medications Page 14 of 42

15 Form and Function relationships Mass of an object relates to shape, anatomy, and physiology Coronary flow proportional to myocardial mass (directly measured from CTA) Distal blood vessel size adapts to chronic change in flow in 4 to 6 weeks Vessel feeding territory that is repetitively ischemic will decrease in size Small coronary branches have higher resistance to flow Resistance to flow proportional to number and size of branches Assume a max hyperemic decrease in distal resistance (0.24 of resting resistance) Possible Limitations Extensive coronary calcification Coronary motion Slice misregistration Overestimate lesion importance with presence of microvascular disease No clear information with stents or grafts yet Taylor CA, et al. JACC 2013;61: Page 15 of 42

16 FFR-CT NXT: Accuracy Trial Patients (n=251, 484 vessels) with 30 to 70% stenoses FFR-CT More careful requirements for CT image quality Improved technical and physiologic modeling based on retrospective (machine) learning from prior trials Invasive FFR on all vessels Norgaard BL, et al.

18 PLATFORM Trial: Clinical Application Noninvasive Invasive Compare effectiveness of 2 strategies 11 centers and 6 EU countries Primary Endpoint: Patients with a planned ICA Are patients evaluated using a CTA/FFR CT guided strategy less likely to undergo ICAs that show no obstructive CAD? Douglas PS, et al. EHJ 2015;doi: /eurheartj/ehv444 Platform Trial: Usual Care (stress, CTA) vs FFR-CT (n=204) (n= 380) % pre-test prob in intended cath arm 61% cancelled ICA in CTA/FFRct arm 73% (usual care QCA; 57%, visual) vs 12% CTA/FFR-CT insignificant ds Assessed by QCA or FFR Douglas PS, et al. EHJ 2015;doi: /eurheartj/ehv444 Page 18 of 42

19 After 90d FFR-CT (anatomic and functional) leads to more selective use of resources in invasive arm FFR-CT slightly more cost in noninvasive planned arm but improved QOL Even when assume FFR-CT costs 7X > CTA, there is a 20% (p< ) cost improvement over invasive testing strategy Hlatky MA, et al.

22 Gaur S, et al. JCCT 2014;8: FFR-CT: Questions for Clinical Use Pressure on CT image quality, turn-over time for results, cost? How will clinical outcomes reflect study outcomes? Differences in patient population Applicable for acute lesions? How do you relate a continuous variable to a binary choice (FFR < or > 0.8)? Risk linearly increases with severity of FFR result Will clinical routine be unchanged by new test results? Page 22 of 42

23 Our Experience: Expected Use Is the LAD a potentially flow-limiting stenosis? LAD RCA CX CACS= 758; Atrial fib Not flow-limiting Typical Angina: Provisional Use of FFR-CT Would not expect to clinically need FFR-CT in this case May need to provide physiology for payors Page 23 of 42

24 Application: Recurrent new onset CP, R/O in ED, CCTA next day Reluctant to have an invasive test Know the vessel and size to discuss options; med tx vs CA Unique added value of FFR-CT to CCTA Cross check artifact vs disease, disease severity Post Anomalous RCA Button Reimplant Pre Post FFR-CT: 0.97 Page 24 of 42

36 Use Interactive tool Interrogate the coronary bed at any point Insignificant pressure drop across proximal LAD FFR-CT slightly lower than invasive FFR (~0.03) Progressive pressure drop across the entire vessel Page 36 of 42

37 17% without focal lesion but atherosclerosis had FFR < 0.8 De Bruyne B, et al.

38 Virtual Stenting: FFR-CT Kim K-H, et al. JACC Intv 2014;7:72-8 MHI Experience with FFR-CT Initial exclusions Systolic imaging (required diastole for myocardial mass) often use with HR > 68 Known prior CAD (eg. stent, CABG) Mild or no CAD Current exclusions CABG and stented vessel (can assess non-stented arteries in same patient) 94% of datasets can be analyzed Page 38 of 42

39 FFR-CT: Our Selection Bias Send severe disease (high likelihood of cath) Recheck severe lesion and other vessels Lead to a high PCI rate per FFR-CT sent Tendency for extra motion or calcium that creates interpretation uncertainty Bias against accuracy Some readers do not send visually moderate disease? False sense of confidence in the anatomic technique (similar to CA) MHI Results: Patients sent for FFR-CT 253 of 389 (65%) had epicardial and/or distal vessel abnormality 185 of 389 had an abnormal lesion FFR-CT Epicardial lesion in 67 of 185 (31%) were treated medically without ICA 124 of 389 (32%) pts had an ICA 76 of 124 (61%) with PCI or CABG 17 of 124 (14%) were sent for ICA because FFR-CT data was misread (76 of 107, (71%), assuming proper reading of FFR-CT) 67 of 389 (17%) with abnormal distal FFR-CT only Page 39 of 42

40 Miscellaneous Findings Lesion related abnormal FFR-CT and FFR 13 of 19 were false positive Small number of patients had an anatomy-based PCI when FFR-CT was normal 2 False negative patients, both in setting of an acute lesion Both sent to ICA because of a severe visual stenosis on CCTA Unexpected Findings High number of patients with epicardial lesions were treated medically without invasive CA A modest number with a lesion FFR-CT < 0.8 have an abnormal whole (distal) vessel FFR-CT elsewhere A minority of patients (17%) with a lesion FFR-CT > 0.8 have abnormal whole vessel FFR-CT < 0.8 Page 40 of 42

41 Other Use for FFR-CT QA - provide a random selection of cases per reader Future prediction of lesions at risk for rupture via shear stress analysis Insurance payment for CCTA if a FFR-CT is available Provisional use Conclusions FFR-CT Selective PCI of vessels with an invasive FFR < 0.8 is associated with event-free survival FFR-CT is a post-processing technique that is highly correlated with invasive FFR Improves the specificity of CCTA Lowers the rate of insignificant CA and likely costs Very low FN rate (? acute cases) New clinical option has been introduced into our practice Page 41 of 42
