Summary
Significant left main (LM) stenosis is associated with a poor prognosis, therefore, adequate judgement of the prognostic significance of LM stenosis is essential to improve patients' prognosis. Recently, fractional flow reserve (FFR) has become widespread practice and carries a Class Ia recommendation to assess functional significance of intermediate coronary stenosis in patients with stable angina. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-derived minimum lumen area (MLA) represents an accurate measure to determine LM significance as shown in multiple studies, while optical coherence tomography (OCT) ,which is a novel intracoronary imaging method with a greater spatial resolution (15m vs. 100m), faster image acquisition and facilitated image interpretation, OCT derived-MLA has never been validated against FFR and accordingly, it is not mentioned in the current guidelines for myocardial revascularization. Coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) has emerged as a noninvasive alternative of coronary angiography with its excellent negative predictive value, while the positive predictive value of CTA is limited. Computational fluid dynamics is an emerging method that enables prediction of blood flow in coronary arteries and calculation of FFR from computed tomography (FFRCT) noninvasively. Noninvasive and accurate assessment of functional significance would bring a great benefit for patients with LM stenosis, however, there are no data to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of FFRCT for LM stenosis in comparison with FFR and minimal lumen area derived by OCT.
This study will investigate the optimal OCT-derived MLA cut-off point and the diagnostic performance of FFRCT for intermediate LM stenosis compared with FFR 0.8 as a reference standard.
