2 Why the hemodynamics for coronary artery disease? Twinlifemarketing.com.au

3 Q: Which is a significant stenosis? Please choose one. Coronary angiogram: left anterior descending coronary artery 3

4 This one should be a significant stenosis! Angiography: significant CT angiography: significant Intravascular ultrasound: significant Lumen area: 2.8mm 2 Vessel area: 9.0mm 2 Plaque burden: 69% Plaque Significant stenosis Ischemia/Chest pain Stent or surgery Better prognosis 4

5 Which is a significant stenosis? : Anatomy vs. Ischemia Stenosis severity by CT, angiography, intravascular US,... Extent of the perfusion territory Presence of myocardial infarction Myocardial blood flow including collaterals Microvascular function Physiologic or functional evaluation 5

6 Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) Invasive physiologic test in a cath lab with very high spatial resolution Proximal Pressure (P a ) = 100mmHg Distal Pressure (P d ) = 70mmHg FFR=70/100=0.7 FFR 0.7 means that 30 % of myocardial blood flow was reduced due to the stenosis 6

7 Pressure Wire Hyperemic agent FFR vs. Myocardial ischemia R Not significant Significant stenosis

8 Q: Which is a significant stenosis? Please choose one. Coronary angiogram: left anterior descending coronary artery FFR = FFR = Anatomically insignificant, but hemodynamically significant! Anatomically significant, but hemodynamically insignificant! 8

9 FAME study PCI: percutaneous coronary intervention 2 Year Death/Myocardial infarction-free survival FFR (hemodynamics)-guided vs. Anatomy-guided - Less stent - Less cost - Same procedural time - Better clinical outcomes Tonino, et al. NEJM 2009; Pijls, et al. JACC

10 FFR is good for the patients and (relatively) simple. But, requires invasive procedure and expensive (>1,000 USD) cannot provide 3D anatomical information. LAD FFR 10

11 How to assess hemodynamics from static images? 3-D Model based on CCTA 11

12 Integration of non-invasive coronary imaging and hemodynamic lesion assessment 3-D Model based on CCTA Hybrid imaging: CCTA + SPECT/PET Stress CT perfusion imaging Transluminal attenuation gradient TAG = (HU/10mm) Estimation from geometry of stenosis 12

13 Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) quantifies fluid pressure and velocity, based on physical laws of mass conservation and momentum balance. CFD is widely used in the aerospace and automotive industries for design and testing. Courtesy of C. Taylor, HeartFlow 13

14 CFD in simple and idealized coronary models Williams & Koo, et al. J Appl Physiol 2010 Na SH, Koo BK, et al. Korean Circ J

15 ccta + CFD = Pt-specific non-invasive FFR Feb 2010: Collaboration with CV SIM 2009: Project started 15

18 How can this novel technology change our daily practice? Current pathway CCTA Invasive angiography FFR FFR >50% diameter stenosis >50% diameter stenosis FFR 0.74 PCI FFR >50% diameter stenosis >50% diameter stenosis FFR 0.84 Medical treatment 18

19 How this novel technology can change our daily practice? Novel (risk-free, non-invasive, cost-saving) pathway CCTA FFR CT Invasive angiography and PCI 0.74 PCI >50% diameter stenosis FFR CT 0.74 Invasive procedures 0.85 Medical treatment FFR >50% diameter stenosis >50% diameter stenosis FFR 0.84 no ischemia 19
