Optical flow ratio (OFR) is a novel method for fast computation of fractional flow reserve (FFR) from optical coherence tomography (OCT) images.
We aimed to evaluate the accuracy of OFR in predicting post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) FFR and the impact of stent expansion on within-stent OFR pressure drop (in-stent OFR).
Post-PCI OFR was computed in patients with both OCT and FFR interrogation immediately after PCI. Calculation of post-PCI OFR (called simulated residual OFR) from pre-PCI OCT pullbacks after elimination of the stenotic segment by virtual stenting was performed in a subgroup of patients who had pre-PCI OCT images. Stent underexpansion was quantified by the minimum expansion index (MEI) of the stented segment.
A total of 125 paired comparisons between post-PCI OFR and FFR were obtained in 119 patients, among which simulated residual OFR was obtained in 64 vessels. Mean post-PCI FFR was 0.92±0.05. Post-PCI OFR showed good correlation (r=0.74, p<0.001) and agreement (mean difference=-0.01±0.03, p=0.051) with FFR. The accuracy in predicting post-PCI FFR ≤0.90 was 84% for post-PCI OFR. Simulated residual OFR significantly correlated with post-PCI FFR (r=0.42, p<0.001). MEI showed a moderate correlation (r=-0.49, p<0.001) with in-stent OFR.
Post-PCI OFR showed good diagnostic concordance with post-PCI FFR. Simulated residual OFR significantly correlated with post-PCI FFR. Stent underexpansion significantly correlated with in-stent pressure drop.
光流比(OFR)是一种从光学相干断层扫描(OCT)图像快速计算血流储备分数(FFR)的新方法。
我们旨在评估 OFR 在预测经皮冠状动脉介入治疗(PCI)后 FFR 的准确性,以及支架扩张对支架内 OFR 压降(支架内 OFR)的影响。
在 PCI 后,对同时进行 OCT 和 FFR 检查的患者进行 post-PCI OFR 计算。在一组有 PCI 前 OCT 图像的患者中,通过虚拟支架排除狭窄段后,从 PCI 前 OCT 拉回中计算 post-PCI OFR(称为模拟残余 OFR)。支架扩张不足通过支架段最小扩张指数(MEI)进行量化。
在 119 名患者中,共获得了 125 对 post-PCI OFR 与 FFR 的比较,其中 64 个血管获得了模拟残余 OFR。平均 post-PCI FFR 为 0.92±0.05。post-PCI OFR 与 FFR 相关性良好(r=0.74,p<0.001)和一致性(平均差值=-0.01±0.03,p=0.051)。post-PCI OFR 预测 post-PCI FFR≤0.90 的准确性为 84%。模拟残余 OFR 与 post-PCI FFR 显著相关(r=0.42,p<0.001)。MEI 与支架内 OFR 呈中度相关(r=-0.49,p<0.001)。
post-PCI OFR 与 post-PCI FFR 具有良好的诊断一致性。模拟残余 OFR 与 post-PCI FFR 显著相关。支架扩张不足与支架内压降显著相关。
