1 Fractional Flow Reserve Guided PCI versus Medical Therapy in Stable Coronary Disease FAME 2 Trial Clinicaltrials.gov NCT Bernard De Bruyne, Nico H.J. Pijls, William F Fearon, Peter Juni, Emanuele Barbato, Pim Tonino, for the FAME 2 study group

2 Potential conflicts of interest Speaker s name: Bernard De Bruyne I have the following potential conflicts of interest to report: Research contracts Consulting Employment in industry Stockholder of a healthcare company Owner of a healthcare company Other(s) I do not have any potential conflict of interest Study Supported by St. Jude Medical

3 Background In patients with stable coronary disease, PCI has not been shown to improve prognosis FAME 1 demonstrated the superiority of FFR-guided over angiography-guided PCI In previous trials, revascularization has been guided by the angiographic appearance of the lesions It is likely that in previous trials a sizable proportion of patients had no or little ischemia

4 Objective To compare clinical outcomes of FFRguided contemporary PCI plus the best available medical therapy (MT) versus MT alone in patients with stable coronary disease

5 Inclusion Criteria Referred for PCI because of And Stable angina pectoris (CCS 1, 2, 3) Stabilized angina pectoris CCS class 4 Atypical or no chest pain with documented ischemia Angiographic 1, 2, or 3 vessel disease

6 Exclusion Criteria 1. Prior CABG 2. LVEF < 30% 3. LM disease

7 Primary End Point Composite of all cause death myocardial infarction unplanned hospitalization with urgent revascularization

8 Flow Chart Stable CAD patients scheduled for 1, 2 or 3 vessel DES-PCI N = 1220 Randomized Trial FFR in all target lesions Registry At least 1 stenosis with FFR 0.80 (n=888) When all FFR > 0.80 (n=332) Randomization 1:1 PCI + MT 73% MT 27% MT 50% randomly assigned to FU Follow-up after 1, 6 months, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years

24 Conclusions In patients with stable coronary artery disease, FFR-guided PCI, improves patient outcome as compared with medical therapy alone This improvement is driven by a dramatic decrease in the need for urgent revascularization for ACS In patients with functionally non-significant stenoses medical therapy alone resulted in an excellent outcome, regardless of the angiographic appearance of the stenoses
