IMAGING SESSION

FFR in side branch: a substudy of Nordic

AuthorI. 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

  1. Predilatation of stenosed areas of the MV andSB at the discretion of the operator
  2. Stenting of the MV
  3. If TIMI grade 3 flow in SB
  4. 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
