ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
We sought to identify the impact of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) on changes of fractional flow reserve computed tomography (FFRCT) values and the associated clinical impact.METHODS:
A retrospective analysis was done with CT obtained pre-TAVI, prior to hospital discharge and at 1-year follow-up, which provided imaging sources for the calculation of FFRCT values based on an online platform.RESULTS:
A total of 190 patients were enrolled. Patients with pre-procedural FFRCT value > 0.80 (i.e., negative) and ≤ 0.80 (i.e., positive) demonstrated a significantly opposite change in the value after TAVI (0.8798 vs. 0.8718, p < 0.001 and 0.7634 vs. 0.8222, p < 0.001, respectively). The history of coronary artery disease (CAD) was identified as an independent predictor for FFRCT changing from negative to positive after TAVI (odds ratio [OR] 2.927, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.130-7.587, p = 0.027), with lesions more severely stenosed (OR 1.039, 95% CI 1.003-1.076, p = 0.034) and in left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) (OR 3.939, 95% CI 1.060-14.637, p = 0.041) being prone to change.CONCLUSIONS:
TAVI directly brings improvement in FFRCT values in patients with compromised coronary flow. Patients with a history of CAD, especially with lesions more severely stenosed and in LAD, were under risk of FFRCT changing from negative to positive after TAVI. KEY POINTS â¢The effect of TAVI on coronary hemodynamics might be influenced by different ischemic severity and coronary territories reflected by FFRCT values. â¢As different FFRCT variations did not impact outcomes of TAVI patients, AS, but not coronary issues, may be the primary problem to affect, which needs further validation.Palabras clave
