BACKGROUND: Clinical outcomes and treatment selection after completing the randomized phase of modern trials, investigating antiplatelet therapy (APT) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), are unknown. OBJECTIVES: The authors sought to investigate cumulative 15-month and 12-to-15-month outcomes after PCI during routine care in the MASTER DAPT trial. METHODS: The MASTER DAPT trial randomized 4,579 high bleeding risk patients to abbreviated (n = 2,295) or standard (n = 2,284) APT regimens. Coprimary outcomes were net adverse clinical outcomes (NACE) (all-cause death, myocardial infarction, stroke, and BARC 3 or 5 bleeding); major adverse cardiac and cerebral events (MACCE) (all-cause death, myocardial infarction, and stroke); and BARC type 2, 3, or 5 bleeding. RESULTS: At 15 months, prior allocation to a standard APT regimen was associated with greater use of intensified APT; NACE and MACCE did not differ between abbreviated vs standard APT (HR: 0.92 [95% CI: 0.76-1.12]; P = 0.399 and HR: 0.94 [95% CI: 0.76-1.17]; P = 0.579; respectively), as during the routine care period (HR: 0.81 [95% CI: 0.50-1.30]; P = 0.387 and HR: 0.74 [95% CI: 0.43-1.26]; P = 0.268; respectively). BARC 2, 3, or 5 was lower with abbreviated APT at 15 months (HR: 0.68 [95% CI: 0.56-0.83]; P = 0.0001) and did not differ during the routine care period. The treatment effects during routine care were consistent with those observed within 12 months after PCI. CONCLUSIONS: At 15 months, NACE and MACCE did not differ in the 2 study groups, whereas the risk of major or clinically relevant nonmajor bleeding remained lower with abbreviated compared with standard APT.

Background: We tested whether the level of endothelial dysfunction assessed by digital tonometry, and expressed as reactive hyperemia index (RHI), is related to occurrences of a discrepancy between fractional flow reserve (FFR) and the instantaneous wave free ratio (iFR) (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT03033810).Methods: We examined patients with coronary stenosis in the range of 40-70%, assessed by both FFR and iFR (system Philips-Volcano) for stable angina. We included consecutive patients with FFR and iFR in one native coronary artery, and who had had no previous intervention.Results: We included 138 patients. Out of those, 24 patients (17.4%) had a negative FFR (with an FFR value >0.8) and positive iFR (with a iFR value ≤0.89) - designated the FFRn/iFRp discrepancy group, and 22 patients (15.9%) had a positive FFR (≤0.8) and negative iFR (>0.89) - designated the FFRp/iFRn discrepancy. RHI was higher in the discrepancy groups compared the group without discrepancy (1.73 ± 0.79 vs. 1.48 ± 0.50, p = 0.025). However, this finding was not confirmed in multivariant logistic regression analyses. Patients with any type of discrepancy differed from the agreement group by having a higher occurrence of diabetes mellitus [9 patients (21.4%) vs. 36 patients (39.6%), p = 0.029], active smoking (23 patients or 54.8% vs. 26 patients or 28.6%, p = 0.003) and lower use of calcium channel blockers (9 patients, 21.4%, vs. 43 patients, 46.7%, p = 0.004).Conclusion: The presence of endothelial dysfunction can be associated with a discrepancy in FFR/iFR. However, RHI correlated with risk factors of atherosclerosis, not with FFR or iFR.

OBJECTIVES: The authors sought to evaluate the accuracy of instantaneous wave-Free Ratio (iFR) pullback measurements to predict post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) physiological outcomes, and to quantify how often iFR pullback alters PCI strategy in real-world clinical settings. BACKGROUND: In tandem and diffuse disease, offline analysis of continuous iFR pullback measurement has previously been demonstrated to accurately predict the physiological outcome of revascularization. However, the accuracy of the online analysis approach (iFR pullback) remains untested. METHODS: Angiographically intermediate tandem and/or diffuse lesions were entered into the international, multicenter iFR GRADIENT (Single instantaneous wave-Free Ratio Pullback Pre-Angioplasty Predicts Hemodynamic Outcome Without Wedge Pressure in Human Coronary Artery Disease) registry. Operators were asked to submit their procedural strategy after angiography alone and then after iFR-pullback measurement incorporating virtual PCI and post-PCI iFR prediction. PCI was performed according to standard clinical practice. Following PCI, repeat iFR assessment was performed and the actual versus predicted post-PCI iFR values compared. RESULTS: Mean age was 67 ± 12 years (81% male). Paired pre- and post-PCI iFR were measured in 128 patients (134 vessels). The predicted post-PCI iFR calculated online was 0.93 ± 0.05; observed actual iFR was 0.92 ± 0.06. iFR pullback predicted the post-PCI iFR outcome with 1.4 ± 0.5% error. In comparison to angiography-based decision making, after iFR pullback, decision making was changed in 52 (31%) of vessels; with a reduction in lesion number (-0.18 ± 0.05 lesion/vessel; p = 0.0001) and length (-4.4 ± 1.0 mm/vessel; p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: In tandem and diffuse coronary disease, iFR pullback predicted the physiological outcome of PCI with a high degree of accuracy. Compared with angiography alone, availability of iFR pullback altered revascularization procedural planning in nearly one-third of patients.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the first experience of real-time instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) measurement by clinicians. BACKGROUND: The iFR is a new vasodilator-free index of coronary stenosis severity, calculated as a trans-lesion pressure ratio during a specific period of baseline diastole, when distal resistance is lowest and stable. Because all previous studies have calculated iFR offline, the feasibility of real-time iFR measurement has never been assessed. METHODS: Three hundred ninety-two stenoses with angiographically intermediate stenoses were included in this multicenter international analysis. Instantaneous wave-free ratio and fractional flow reserve (FFR) were performed in real time on commercially available consoles. The classification agreement of coronary stenoses between iFR and FFR was calculated. RESULTS: Instantaneous wave-free ratio and FFR maintain a close level of diagnostic agreement when both are measured by clinicians in real time (for a clinical 0.80 FFR cutoff: area under the receiver operating characteristic curve [ROC(AUC)] 0.87, classification match 80%, and optimal iFR cutoff 0.90; for a ischemic 0.75 FFR cutoff: iFR ROC(AUC) 0.90, classification match 88%, and optimal iFR cutoff 0.85; if the FFR 0.75-0.80 gray zone is accounted for: ROC(AUC) 0.93, classification match 92%). When iFR and FFR are evaluated together in a hybrid decision-making strategy, 61% of the population is spared from vasodilator while maintaining a 94% overall agreement with FFR lesion classification. CONCLUSION: When measured in real time, iFR maintains the close relationship to FFR reported in offline studies. These findings confirm the feasibility and reliability of real-time iFR calculation by clinicians.
