6 Current Issue is, How To Do? Functional Angioplasty ; Integrated Use of IVUS and FFR

7 Is Angiography Enough for Diagnosis of Clinical i l Ischemia?

8 Visual Functional Mismatch Visual : 80% IVUS MLA : mm 2 FFR : 0.82 Treadmill test : Negative Thallium spect : Normal Stress Echo : Negative

9 Reverse Mismatch Visual Estimation : 30% FFR : 0.70 IVUS MLA: 4.5 mm2 Treadmill test: + stage 2 Thallium spect : + large LAD

10 Mismatches ; Significant Stenosis (>50%) with Negative FFR Reverse Mismatches ; Insignificant Stenosis (<50%) with Positive FFR

11 How Many Mismatches?

12 Mismatch in intermediate LM Disease 12% 6% 23% 59% Hamilos M, Circulation 2009; 120:

13 Mismatch in Isolated intermediate LM Disease (n=55) FFR 9% 26% DS % (QCA)

14 Why Relatively Higher Reverse Mismatches in LM disease?

15 LM supplied Large Myocardium DS=50% Large Myocardium FFR=0.70 DS=85% FFR=0.90 Acute Onic Injury Scar and/or Chronic Scar Small Myocardium

16 Univariable Analysis to Predict FFR <0.8 Variables C-OR 95%CI p-value MLA within LM <0.001 Plaque burden Lesion length Rupture Angiographic DS Lesion location Male Age Diabetes melitus Hypertension Smoker Hyperlipidemia p Stable presentation

17 Multivariable Analysis to Predict FFR Independent predictors for FFR as continuous variable MLA (β=0.58, %CI CI= , 04 p<0.001) 001) Plaque rupture (β=-0.24, 95% CI= , p=0.036) Kang SJ et al, JACC. Cardiovascular Interventions Nov;4(11):

18 Presence of Plaque Rupture 70% FFR : % % % 0.58 Steady-state 3D Computed Simulation under Hyperemic Condition, AMC data

19 FFR theory FFR is more sensitive and integrated summation of physiological and anatomical aspects (total morphology) of a stenosis rather than 2-dimensional i angiographic g diameter stenosis.

20 Why FFR? 1. Angiography is not always enough! 2. FFR is the only matched index with objective ischemia even in the Left main disease.

21 IVUS MLA vs. FFR

22 IVUS MLA < 6.0 mm 2 is matched with FFR < mm 5.9mm 2 67% 50% Jasti V et al. Circulation 2004;110:2831-6

23 New Comparison AMC prospective cohort registry (n=55 lesions), 2011 FFR vs. IVUS MLA JACC Cardiovasc Interv, 2011 (in press)

24 New IVUS MLA 4.1 mm mm 2 Kang SJ, Park SJ et al, JACC. Cardiovascular Interventions Nov;4(11):

25 New IVUS MLA Matched with FFR <0.80 in LM Disease 4.8 mm 2 Kang SJ, Park SJ et al, JACC. Cardiovascular Interventions Nov;4(11):

27 Kang s data,amc Jasti s s dataa FF FR More Positive FFR Normal Distribution 0.5 Large Vessels, 75% Negative FFR Not normal distribution MLA (mm 2 )

31 Why IVUS?

32 IVUS guidance saves lives in LM PCI ortali ity(%) ive M mulat Cum Angiography-guidance IVUS-guidance P= % 44% 4.4% Park SJ et al, Circulation. Cardiovasc Interv Jun;2(3):

33 Why IVUS guidance The IVUS-guidance will reduce 3-year mortality from MAIN COMPARE registry data. (Park SJ, et al. Circulation Cardiovasc Interv Jun;2(3):167-77) Treat or not treat decision could be made by IVUS MLA 4.8 mm 2 (PPV:82%). IVUS guidance have more understanding about the inside of the vessel (negative remodeling, true reference vessel size and ostial lesion assessment). We can decide the treatment strategy based on IVUS guidance.

34 Ostial and Shaft LM PCI How to Do?

35 Ostial and Shaft LM PCI Functional Assessment (FFR) is Crucial. FFR works LAD LCX Courtesy of Akiko Maehara, MD

36 Ostial and Shaft LM PCI Functional Assessment (FFR) is Crucial. IVUS MLA (4.8 mm 2 ) can predict functional significance of stenosis of LM disease. Just Stent t it! It takes just 5 minutes! We have more than 5-10 year long-term data. No difference of death and MI compared with surgery (even better). Long-term clinical i l outcomes should be comparable to 100% of arterial grafts.

56 Whatever you choose 2 stent techniques, You have to consider IVUS guided Stent Optimization!

Circulation. Cardiovascular Interventions Dec 1;4(6):562-9.

62 Whatever you choose 2 stent t techniques, IVUS Final stent CSA (5,6,7,8 mm 2 ) is the most important criteria for the good clinical i l outcomes!

63 Distal LM Bifurcation Treatment For the intermediate LM bifurcation disease, FFR still works. IVUS guidance give us more understanding about the inside of vessel. And also MLA of LM <4.8 mm 2 can predict functional significance of stenosis (PPV 83%). When we used single stent cross over, FFR guided side branch optimization is reasonable approach. When we used 2 stents technique, IVUS guided optimization of stent (IVUS stent CSA 5,6,7,8 mm 2 ) can make a good clinical outcomes.

64 Functional Angioplasty Integrated Use of FFR and IVUS Avoid unnecessary PCI Avoid unnecessary Surgery Minimize MACE Maximize clinical outcomes Save money Save lives
