On-site Computed Tomography-derived Fractional Flow Reserve To Guide The Management Of Patients With Stable Coronary Artery Disease: The TARGET Randomized TrialTürk Kardiyoloji Derneği Genç Kardiyologlar Bülteni - On-site Computed Tomography-derived Fractional Flow Reserve To Guide The Management Of Patients With Stable Coronary Artery Disease: The TARGET Randomized Trial (Dr. Bilal Ülker)On-site Computed Tomography-derived Fractional Flow Reserve To Guide The Management Of Patients With Stable Coronary Artery Disease: The TARGET Randomized Trial
Dr. Bilal Ülker
Published in Congress: ACC2023
Objective:
Artificial intelligence-based computed tomography-derived fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) plays an important role in the detection and management of coronary artery disease, but its efficacy is still questionable.
Methods: A total of 1,216 patients with stable coronary artery disease and 30%-90% lesions on CTA were randomized into CT-FFR and conventional treatment groups at 6 Chinese medical centers, and the primary endpoint was the proportion of patients undergoing invasive coronary angiography without obstructive coronary artery disease or with obstructive disease who did not require intervention within 90 days. Secondary endpoints included major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), quality of life, angina symptoms and medical expenses at 1 year.
Results:
Baseline characteristics were similar in both groups, with 72.4% (881/1,216) having typical or atypical anginal symptoms. Invasive coronary angiography was performed in 421 (69.2%) of 608 patients in the CT-FFR group and 483 (79.4%) of 608 patients in the conventional treatment group. The proportion of patients who underwent invasive coronary angiography and did not have obstructive coronary artery disease or who had obstructive disease and did not undergo intervention was significantly reduced in the BT-FFR group (28.3% [119/421] vs. 46.2% [223/483] P<0.001). Overall, more patients in the BT-FFR group underwent revascularization (49.7% [302/608] vs. 42.8% [260/608], P=0.02), but there was no difference in MACE at 1 year (HR 0.88; 95%CI, 0.59 to 1.30). Quality of life and symptoms improved similarly in both groups during follow-up, with a trend towards lower costs in the CT-FFR group (difference, -¥4233; 95%CI, -¥8165 to ¥973, P=0.07).
Discussion:
AI-based CT-FFR reduced the proportion of patients with stable coronary artery disease without obstructive disease or undergoing invasive coronary angiography requiring intervention within 90 days, but increased revascularization overall without improving symptoms or quality of life or reducing major adverse cardiovascular events.
