Clinical Information

Patient initials or Identifier Number

Relevant Clinical History and Physical Exam

A 62 old male patient who had persistent angina regardless of optimal medical treatment. Multiple cardiovascular risk factors including smoking, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. Prior medications are anti-hypertensives andaspirin. 

Relevant Test Results Prior to Catheterization



Relevant Catheterization Findings

Diagnostic CAG showed diffuse lesions in LM and LAD including severe stenosis in distal LM and moderate stenosis in mid-LAD. LCx and RCA were normal and no significant stenosis.

Interventional Management

Procedural Step

On diagnostic angiography, there was critical stenosis at the ostial LAD with the vessel QFR of 0.32 (arrow, Figure 1A and 1B). The proximal LAD lesion was successfully  treated with drug-eluting stent (DES) which was implanted from LM to proximal LAD with final post-stenotic QFR of 0.99 (arrow, Figure 1C). There were another two isolated lesions (arrow, Figure 1D) with a total length of44mm in the mid LAD which have had post-stenotic QFR of 0.87 and 0.74, respectively (arrow, Figure 1E and 1F). The mid LAD lesions were untreated at the moment because vessel  , and the patient was left on optimal medical treatment. Staged PCI could be considered for mid LAD lesions if the patient is symptomatic despite optimal medical treatment. The left circumflex (LCx) and right coronary artery (RCA) were normal (Figure 1G, 1Hand1I).

Case Summary

The angiography image-based3D-physiologic mapping of coronary physiology using the QFR could be a cost effective and non-invasive alternative to pressure wire based invasive approaches to guide complex PCI.
