Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to assess whether the use of physiology parameters as guidance post-percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) is associated with less risks of target vessel failure (TVF) and angina-related events than standard angiographic guidance.

Detailed Description

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

Fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement involves determining the ratio between the maximum achievable blood flow in a diseased coronary artery and the theoretical maximal flow in a normal coronary artery. An FFR of 1.0 is widely accepted as normal. An FFR value less than or equal to 0.80 is generally considered to be associated with myocardial ischemia.

FFR is easily measured during routine coronary angiography by using a pressure wire to calculate the ratio between coronary pressure distal to a coronary artery stenosis and aortic pressure under conditions of maximum myocardial hyperemia. this ratio represents the potential decrease in coronary flow distal o the coronary stenosis. Recently, other physiology ratios called non-hyperemic ratios (NHPR) have been developed.

Both types of physiology measures (FFR and NHPR) have been increasingly used in cardiac catheterization laboratories as a diagnostic tool. They provide a quantitative assessment of the functional severity of a coronary artery stenosis identified during coronary angiography and cardiac catheterization. However, they are underutilized as tools for the assessment of success of coronary interventions.

The PREDICT study is a pilot study which aims to prospectively determine whether post-PCI physiology guidance is associated with better clinical outcomes than standard angiographic guidance.
