Background
Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is aleading global cause of mortality and morbidity. Improvements in the diagnosis and treatmentof CAD can reduce the health and economic burden. Fractional flow reserve isevidence based diagnostic test of the physiological significance of a coronaryartery stenosis. PTCA of a coronary stenosis without documented ischemia isoften performed, but its benefit is unproven. Purpose of this study was toobserve the impact on PCI and its in hospital outcome in patients with chronicstable angina in our setting.
Methods
Descriptive type of cross-sectional studyconducted at Department of Cardiology, National Heart Foundation Hospital &Research Institute, Dhaka. Total 72patients with chronic stable angina were enrolled according to inclusion andexclusion criteria. Patients were divided into two groups. Group I consisted of36 patients underwent PCI without FFR and group II having 36 patients underwentPCI with FFR. Quantitative data expressed as mean and standard deviation andqualitative data as frequency and percentage.
Results
According tothe study, there was no significant difference regarding coronary arterystenosis in both group (p value 0.073).In group II, fractional flow reserve was <0.80 found in 29 patients. Presentstudy demonstrated that, in Group-I maximum patients 15 (41.6%) were revascularizedby two stents and 11(30.5%) patients required three stents. On the other handGroup-II maximum patients 17(47.2%) required single stent, 9(25.0%) patientstreated by two stents, 3(8.3%) patients received three stent and medicalmanagement was given to 7(19.4%) patients. This study also revealed that FFRgroup needed significantly less number of stent (73 in Group -I and 44 in Groupll p value is .002). However, comparison of in hospital outcome in terms ofMACCE and other complications demonstrated that there was no significantdifference between two groups.
Conclusion
: FFR guided PCI was associated with the less PCI,implantation of fewer stents thus cost effective. It also aided for preciserevascularization decision and thus reduced the burden of PCI. But FFR guided angioplasty did not have anysignificant impact on its in hospitaloutcome.
