Abstract

The FAME-study authors claimed that fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided multivessel percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) achieved superior clinical outcome and lower cost compared with no FFR. However, patients were intended to undergo multivessel PCI with drug eluting stents prior to randomization, which tipped the cost-analysis heavily in favour of FFR. We retrospectively evaluated 100 intermediate coronary lesions assessed by FFR, and determined whether to perform PCI based on visual angiographic assessment alone. We found that angiographic-guided treatment underestimated functional significance of intermediate lesions, resulting in fewer implanted stents compared to FFR guidance. This, in addition to the pressure wire cost, increased procedural expenditure 2- to 3-fold when using FFR-guidance.
