FFR in side branch: a substudy of Nordic
Author: I. Kumsars, MD, P. Stradins Hospital, Riga, Latvia
OBJECTIVES
- To compare FFR and QCA data of the SB afterMV stenting
- To evaluate the effect of FKBD on SB FFR data
- Consistency of SB FFR data at 8-month follow-up
METHODS
- Predilatation of stenosed areas of the MV andSB at the discretion of the operator
- Stenting of the MV
- If TIMI grade 3 flow in SB
- FFR was measured in SB with pullback to MV
CONCLUSION
- In the FKBD group, the SB FFR post PCI was significantly increased as compared to the no-FKBD group. No difference was detectable at follow-up
- No significant changes in mean SB FFR during follow–up in both treatment groups
- Angiography overestimated the functional severity of SB lesions after MB stenting
