Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to understand routine use of FFR (Fractional Flow Reserve) and alternate indices in clinical practice. This study will determine the use and clinical outcome of FFR-guided PCI in patients presenting with either stable coronary artery disease, or in patients presenting with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) on culprit and non-culprit lesions as well as during index and secondary procedures.

Detailed description

The purpose of this study is to understand routine use of FFR and alternate indices in clinical practice. This study will determine the use and clinical outcome of FFR-guided PCI in patients presenting with either stable coronary artery disease, or in patients presenting with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) on culprit and non-culprit lesions as well as during index and secondary procedures. The study will also collect data on the routine use of coronary physiologic measurements such as adenosine-induced hyperemia FFR, FFR by contrast-induced hyperemia,

Outcome results

Primary

Number of Subjects With 12 Month Clinical Outcomes (MACE) Major Adverse Cardiac Events by FFR Values and Resting Indices

Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) is defined as a 12-month composite, including all cause death, documented non-fatal myocardial infarction, and unplanned hospitalization leading to urgent revascularization. Fisher Exact test will be performed to evaluate the association between 12-month MACE event and binary FFR variables respectively using the following FFR; Low FFR group (FFR ≤ 0.8) and high FFR group (FFR \> 0.8).

Time frame: 12 months

Population: The denominators used in the calculations of adverse event rates will be determined according to the analysis population excluding subjects who are lost to follow-up through given time point without events.
