Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The current study sought to evaluate the clinical relevance of iFR-guided strategy in real world clinical practice using unrestricted study population from stable angina to acute coronary syndrome including acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. Previous abundant historical data of FFR-guided strategy will be also included as historical control to validate the iFR-guided strategy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In this study, the investigators will validate the clinical relevance of instantaneous wave free ratio (iFR)-guided strategy in real world clinical practice in Korea. The 1,200 patients who underwent iFR measurement will be prospectively enrolled at 5 centers in Republic of Korea. In patients who were indicated revascularization after iFR measurement (iFR\<0.90), iFR pullback system (iFR Scout) and post-revascularization iFR measurement will be routinely performed. The primary hypothesis will be tested for non-inferiority of iFR-guided strategy, compared with FFR-guided strategy in terms of 2-year clinical outcomes. For the clinical outcome data following FFR-guided strategy will be used from the pooled data of the DEFER-DES trial, the 3V FFR FRIENDS registry (NCT01621438), and Korean 4-center FFR registry. Using those data, 1200 patients will be selected from the pooled data. In addition, routine application of iFR Scout and post-revascularization iFR measurement will enable us to validate the clinical relevance of iFR-based prediction of acute procedural results and to compare FFR-pullback methods.

Primary Hypothesis: The iFR-guided strategy will be non-inferior regarding patient-oriented composite outcomes (a composite of any death, any MI, any revascularization) at 2-year, compared with FFR-guided strategy.

Primary Outcome:

1\] Patient-oriented composite outcome (POCO), defined as a composite of any death, any myocardial infarction (MI) or any revascularization at 2-year after index procedure according to the ARC consensus \[2\] Difference between Predicted post-PCI iFR value from iFR Scout and Actual post-PCI iFR measurement

Sample Size 1,200 patients with suspected ischemic heart disease including stable angina, or acute coronary syndrome including unstable angina, non ST-segment elevation MI, or ST-segment elevation MI with non-culprit stenosis enrolled at 5 centers in Republic of Korea.
