Background: Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) is a supportive tool for coronary angiography in evaluating intermediate coronary lesions. However, old cut-off value of 4mm2 of IVUS Minimal Lumen Area (MLA) has been proved very low diagnosic accuracy. Objective: We aimed to assess a new cut-off value of IVUS MLA and its diagnostic performance to predict ischemia, using fractional flow reserve (FFR) as gold standard. Methods: Denovo Intermediate lesions were evaluated with both IVUS and FFR. A total of 32 lesions were enrolled into the study. Results: Thirty two patients, who had denovo intermediate lesions distributing at prox-mid segment of RCA (31.3%), LAD (59.4%) and LCx (6.2%), were enrolled into this study, with average age: 63.97±11.59 (years), male: 71.9% and female: 28.1%, mean diameter stenosis: 50.68% ± 8.83 and mean reference diameter: 2.99 mm ± 0.61mm. IVUS MLA (r = 0.386, p < 0.014) correlated with FFR. The stenotic diameter (r = -0.159, p < 0.192), the length (r = -0.052, p = 0.389) and the plaque volume (r = -0.105, p = 0.284) didn’t well correlate with FFR. Best cut-off value (BCV) of IVUS MLA to define the functional significance (FFR ≤0.8) was 2.55 mm2 (AUC 0.776; 95% CI 0.607-0.946) with sensitivity and specitivity were 66.7% and 88.2% respectively. Conclusion: In this study, an IVUS MLA of 2.55 mm2 was the BCV to define the functional significance of denovo intermediate coronary stenosis. However, when IVUS MLA is used to determine the functional significance, both the lesion diameter and length should be considered.

Fractional flow reserve is an index of the physiological significance of a coronary stenosis, defined as the ratio of maximal myocardial blood flow in the presence of the stenosis to the theoretically normal maximal myocardial blood flow (i.e. in the absence of the stenosis). This flow ratio can be calculated from the ratio of distal coronary pressure to central aortic pressure during maximal hyperaemia. More practically, fractional flow reserve indicates to what extent the epicardial segment can be responsible for myocardial ischaemia and, accordingly, fractional flow reserve quantifies the expected perfusion benefit from revascularization by percutaneous coronary intervention. Very limited evidence exists on the role on fractional flow reserve for bypass grafts.

Background. Use of the fractional flow reserve (FFR) technique is recommended to evaluate coronary stenosis severity and guide revascularization. However, its high cost, time to administer, and the side effects of adenosine reduce its clinical utility. Two novel adenosine-free indices, contrast-FFR (cFFR) and quantitative flow ratio (QFR), can simplify the functional evaluation of coronary stenosis. This study aimed to analyze the diagnostic performance of cFFR and QFR using FFR as a reference index. Methods. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies in which cFFR or QFR was compared to FFR. A bivariate model was applied to pool diagnostic parameters. Cochran’s Q test and the I2 index were used to assess heterogeneity and identify the potential source of heterogeneity by metaregression and sensitivity analysis. Results. Overall, 2220 and 3000 coronary lesions from 20 studies were evaluated by cFFR and QFR, respectively. The pooled sensitivity and specificity were 0.87 (95% CI: 0.81, 0.91) and 0.92 (95% CI: 0.88, 0.94) for cFFR and 0.87 (95% CI: 0.82, 0.91) and 0.91 (95% CI: 0.87, 0.93) for QFR, respectively. No statistical significance of sensitivity and specificity for cFFR and QFR were observed in the bivariate analysis (P=0.8406 and 0.4397, resp.). The area under summary receiver-operating curve of cFFR and QFR was 0.95 (95% CI: 0.93, 0.97) for cFFR and 0.95 (95% CI: 0.93, 0.97). Conclusion. Both cFFR and QFR have good diagnostic performance in detecting functional severity of coronary arteries and showed similar diagnostic parameters.
