Brief Summary

Recent clinical trials demonstrated that virtual histology-intravascular ultrasound (VH-IVUS) is a useful test predicting clinical outcomes of the coronary artery disease (CAD). Thin cap fibroatheroma (VH-TCFA) was proposed a predictor of cardiovascular event by VH-IVUS combined with more than 70% plaque burden and less than 4mm² minimal lumen area (MLA) by IVUS. Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is an established index of the physiological significance of a coronary stenosis. Recent large scale trials demonstrated FFR guided PCI showed favorable clinical outcomes. VH-IVUS represents anatomical severity, but FFR represents functional severity of CAD. Few studies reported relevance between two tests. Aim of this study was to investigate whether the geometry and composition of lesions were different under FFR criteria.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Differences VH-IVUS plaque composition between different FFR groups

    VH-IVUS tissue composition (necrotic core, dense calicium, fibrotic, fibrofatty %) and atheroma type will be compared according to different FFR groups at the time of measurement procedure.

    baseline

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Serial physiologic and plaque composition changes of deferred lesions at 1 year FFR and VH-IVUS follow-up.

    one year

  • Serial physiologic and plaque composition changes of stented lesions at 1 year FFR and VH-IVUS follow-up.

    one year

Study Arms (2)

low FFR group (<0.8)

the patient with FFR values less than 0.8

high FFR group (>0.8)

the patient with FFR values greater than 0.8

Sampling MethodProbability Sample
Study Population

Patients who underwent coronary angiography for the diagnostic purposes because of clinical angina pectoris. Patient who underwent simultaneous virtual histology-intravascular ultrasound (VH-IVUS)and fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement at the time of coronary angiography would be enrolled consecutively.

You may qualify if:

  • clinical angina pectoris who underwent VH-IVUS and FFR during coronary angiography.
  • agree with informed consent

You may not qualify if:

  • unable to get informed consent
  • low left ventricular ejection fraction less than 35%
  • chronic renal failure (Cr\>2.0mg/dl)
  • acute myocardial infarction related coronary artery
  • allergy to adenosine injection
