Clinical Guidance for Use of Pd/Pa to FFR Measurements
As stated previously, the ACIST RXi System is designed to provide
hemodynamic information for the diagnosis and treatment of coronary and
peripheral artery disease. The system is intended for use in catheterization and
related cardiovascular specialty laboratories to compute and display fractional
flow reserve (FFR) and resting Pd/Pa.
The expected FFR value in a normal vessel without a stenotic lesion or
obstruction to blood flow is a value of 1.0. Based on clinical evidence, a
threshold or cutpoint value of ≤ 0.80 is commonly considered for treatment
with a therapeutic intervention, while a value > 0.80 is commonly considered
for deferment. An established, clinically evident Pd/Pa threshold or cutpoint
such as this is indeterminate, but guidance for use of Pd/Pa for clinical
decision making may be considered by referring to the existing, supportive
clinical evidence from multiple diagnostic accuracy studies performed on
resting Pd/Pa.
A recent meta-analysis was reported by Maini et al., based on published
resting Pd/Pa diagnostic accuracy studies
1
which examined the overall
diagnostic accuracy of Pd/Pa compared to FFR. The meta-analysis reported on
14 studies with an optimal cutpoint ranging from 0.875 to 0.96 and resulted in
cutpoints from 0.91 to 0.93 in 12 of the 14 studies in the meta-analysis.
The ACIST-FFR Pd/Pa Post-hoc Sub-Group Analysis
2
identified an optimal
cutpoint of 0.91. The cutpoint was derived from a post-hoc receiver operating
characteristic (ROC) curve analysis using an FFR cutoff value of ≤0.80
measured with the ACIST Navvus® MicroCatheter to define stenosis. The 0.91
cutpoint is within the range of 0.91 to 0.93 as was reported in 12 of the 14
studies in the Maini et al., meta-analysis.
Clinical Guidance for use of FFR and Pd/Pa physiologic measurements
by the physician may be considered as the resting Pd/Pa value, along with
patient history, medical expertise and clinical judgement to determine if an
additional measurement of FFR during hyperemia or therapeutic intervention
is indicated.
