Background
Angiography-derived index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) is a non-invasive, alternative tool for invasive IMR measurement. Reports on angio-IMR immediately after optimal stenting are limited.
Methods
This is a sub-study of the ASET-Japan trial that assesses the safety and feasibility of low-dose prasugrel monotherapy (3.75 mg/day) after successful everolimus-eluting stent(s) deployment for patients with CCS or NSTE-ACS. All the patients are enrolled after achieving optimal stent implantation with intravascular imaging guidance in 88.4% of the stents. We assess angiography-derived IMR calculated with the following formula:(Pa–[0.1*Pa]) *QFR* (vessel length/Vhyp) (where Vhyp is an estimation of hyperemic flow velocity). High IMR was defined as a measurement ≥25 units.
Results
Post- and pre-procedural QFR/IMRs are evaluated in 115 treated vessels in 112 patients with 24.1% of CCS and 75.9% of NSTE-ACS. Mean age is 68.6 ± 9.8, 88.4% are male and the incidence of diabetes is 32.1%. As shown in the figure, both post-procedural QFR and IMR are significantly higher than pre-procedure. Post-procedural IMR≥25 is documented in 24 vessels (20.9%). As we apply the post-QFR cut-off value of 0.91, 55.7% of the vessels are categorized into low IMR /high QFR groups. Only 4 vessels (3.5%) are categorized into high IMR/low-QFR category.
Conclusion
In this prospective study with optimal stent results, 4 coronary hemodynamic profiles emerge. The clinical and anginal repercussions of these profiles will be evaluated at follow-up.
