1 Anatomical, physiological and clinical relevance of a side branch : Which branch really needs a stent? Bon-Kwon Koo, MD, PhD, Seoul, Korea

2 Bifurcation lesion: The GREAT EQUALIZER! No intervention = Balloon angioplasty = Stenting Most Conservative Most Aggressive NORDIC III (No tx) NORDIC I (Angioplasty in <TIMI 3 flow) CACTUS (Angioplasty) CACTUS (SB stent) NORDIC III: Leave it alone vs. Kissing CACTUS: Crush vs. Provisional Cardiovascular Center 2 2

3 Why we can NOT improve the prognosis of a side branch lesions with revascularization? Anatomy Physiology Bifurcation puzzle Cardiovascular Center 3

4 Significant stenosis? Anatomically! Physiologically! Clinically! Prognostically! Stenosis à Ischemia à Clinical relevance à Revascularization à Prognosis Cardiovascular Center 4

5 Significant stenosis? Anatomically! Physiologically Clinically Prognostically Min Lumen Area: 2.0mm 2 MLD: 1.2mm Cardiovascular Center 5

8 Anatomical vs. Physiological significance Diagnostic performance of angio/ivus parameters of side branches to define the presence of clinical ischemia (FFR<0.8) Koh JS, Koo BK, et al., JACC Intv, 2012 Cardiovascular Center 8

9 Anatomical severity = Physiological significance 3D OCT lumen area vs. FFR in Jailed side branches Best cutoff value of OCT MLA: 2.1mm 2 Ha J, Kim JS, et al. JACC Img 2014 Cardiovascular Center 9

10 Anatomical severity = Physiological significance Min Lumen Area: 2.0mm 2 MLD: 1.2mm Cardiovascular Center 10

11 Anatomical severity = Physiological significance Can FFR-guided SB intervention strategy improve patients outcome like FAME I (and II)? Probably, NO in (general) bifurcation lesions. Koo BK, Korean Bifurcation Club meeting 2010 Cardiovascular Center 11

12 Cardiovascular Center 12

13 Significant stenosis? FFR = 0.60 Anatomically! Physiologically (by FFR)! Clinically? Prognostically? Cardiovascular Center 13

14 Clinical significance: Main vs. Side branch - Responses to 1-minute balloon occlusion - LAD Diagonal P value Chest pain (VAS score) 5 2 < ST elevation 1mm 92.3% 35.4% QTc interval, msec 454.0± ± QTc dispersion, msec 83.8± ±28.5 < Side branch has much less clinical relevance in terms of symptom, ischemia and arrhythmic potentials Koo BK, et al., JACC Intv, 2012 Cardiovascular Center 14

15 Significant stenosis? FFR = 0.60 Anatomically! Physiologically! Clinically! Prognostically? Cardiovascular Center 15

16 Determinants of prognosis in a cath lab : Ischemic burden, collateral recruitability and treatment strategy Low collateral flow index (<0.25) High collateral flow index ( 0.25) Cardiovascular Center Meier, Circulation

17 Collateral recruitability assessment using simplified collateral flow index (Pw/Pa) LAD Pw 23mmHg, Pw/Pa 0.26 Diagonal Pw 39mmHg, Pw/Pa 0.36 Pw: coronary wedge pressure, Pa: aortic pressure Cardiovascular Center 17

18 Difference in collateral recruitability - LAD vs. Diagonals - LAD Diagonal P Pre-intervention FFR 0.67± ± Wedge pressure (Pw), mmhg 21.0± ±9.4 <0.001 Collateral flow index (Pw/Pa) 0.22± ± Pw: coronary wedge pressure, Pa: aortic pressure Diagonal branches may have better collateral recruitability and more protection from ischemia (hypothesis generating ). Koo BK, et al., JACC Intv, 2012 Cardiovascular Center 18

19 Determinants of prognosis : Ischemic burden, collateral recruitability and treatment strategy Can OUR revascularization improve the prognosis? Do it well! Cardiovascular Center 19

20 Anatomical, physiological and clinical relevance of bi furcation lesions If you want to do PCI for angiographically significant SB, à Acknowledge that the side branch is different from the main branch. General 2 nd EBC, side branches: 2006 DES = Balloon angioplasty = Medical à Assess myocardial mass at risk (>10% by MPI estimation). If you still want to do, à Remind that there can be discrepancy between anatomical severity and physiological severity. Measure and follow FFR! à Consider the possibility that the side branch is naturally protected. If you still want to do, Seoul à National Do University it (very) Hospital well. Cardiovascular Center 20 20

21 Anatomical, physiological and clinical relevance of bi furcation lesions If you want to do PCI for angiographically significant SB, à Acknowledge that the side branch is different from the main branch. : General side branches: DES = Balloon angioplasty = Medical Clinical relevance: main branch >> side branch à Assess the clinical relevance (myocardial mass at risk >10% by MPI estimation) of the side branch first. If you still want to do, à Remind that there can be discrepancy between anatomical severity and physiological severity. When doubtful, measure FFR (Adequate experience and knowledge is required). à Consider the possibility that the side branch is naturally protected. If you still want to do, à Do it (very) well and be ready to use IVUS or OCT.
